Come on team one! You can do this! You… Err. You go on and paddle those paddles! Right. Cause that sounded SO encouraging. Maybe if she just tried again… You’re the best boaters at Hogwarts!Really? If one were to get an award for being incredibly awkward, it would totally be Ella. At least the team was doing well! Oh! And Sophie had done SO well. BEAM.BEAM.BEAM. YAY SOPHIEEE! Ella didn’t mind sounding silly now, not when she was cheering for her bestie. That was allowed, y’know. Mhm.
Right, now seemed like a good time for her second lap so Ella got ready and when the next classmate came out, Ella was waiting to be tagged!

Running towards the little stick-thingy again, Ella pointed her wand at it and made the circular motion, picturing the boat in her mind. Oh yeah, she was a pro at this stuff now. Vergrand-IS Nav-IS! She called out, probably a little more enthusiastically than was necessary. Hey! They were playing a game her…enthusiasm was TOTALLY allowed. AND her boat was forming before her eyes. Heh. Best. Coracle. Ever. Now to get her puny arms to help paddle the team to victory!

Jumping into the boat, Ella made her way out into the water as quickly as she could, doing her best not to tip over. The whole paddling quickly thing wasn’t exactly Ella’s forte and she found that she was making more of a zig-zag pattern than her intended straight path. Meh, At least she was moving…BRIGHT SIDE! And hey! The pole thingy was coming at her quite quickly too. Erm…maybe a little too quickly…WHY wasn’t she turning?! Hey you paddle, help me turn! She demanded, glaring at the wooden object in her hands. Unfortunately, paddles weren’t very good listeners and the first year collided RIGHT INTO the pole. UGH.

Backing herself up a bit, the second year went forward once again and made her way AROUND the pole. Take that, Lap Two! And now to paddle ALL the way back to the shore. Wouldn’t be too hard or anything…nope!

With the thought that she’d be done once she made it back in her mind, Ella summoned all her strength (which was A LOT cause she was such a boating beast), and paddled ALL the way back to the edge of the water. Once there, she jumped out of the Coracle (a little more gracefully this time) and ran to tag the next teammate. Tag, you’re it! She called cheerfully. Come on Team Oneeee! Flail. Flail. Flail.
