Blake gave a half shrug and took a seat in the boat. "Thanks, by the way. I'm Blake."
Sophie saw the boy take a look around. Maybe he was wondering if they were both in the wrong place, too. She was just about to blink and consider getting out the boat before it took off, when the boy mentioned something about slowpokes.
She laughed then.
"That sounds about right, because my brother is one of them," she remarked.
"He's probably lost...or still at the food trolley." At least their grandfather lived in Hogsmeade, because if they got lost, he would always come and get them, right?
"You're welcome," she said, turning back to the boy. Blake, she now knew.
"I'm Sophie Newell."
