Theo had heard a few kids talking about swimming with life jackets, so he had to come and check it out. After grabbing some swimming trunks, obviously.
And there they were, all brightly coloured for them to wear.
Was he FINALLY going to learn how to swim? He kinda wanted Dora because she said she'd teach him. The Slytherin looked around, edged his way closer to the life jackets, and casually poked one to check it's suitibility. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice and puffy, which was good. Theo cleared his throat and decided to try one on for size. He managed to get his arms through JUST ABOUT, but now he felt kind of restricted with movement.
How were they supposed to swim with these on?
Theo stood like a starfish and tried to wriggle free. STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
Pretty soon, the sun would go BACK to wear it's supposed to belong and the weather would be just manky with a side order of rain. So, best get out and enjoy the mild-heat-that-is-actually-just-the-average-weather-that-is-slightly-warmer-than-usual, right? Right. Of course she was right, she was always right. And so she found herself making her way leisurely down the grounds, HOPING that she looked like she just stepped off the runway from the way the light wind had messed her hair up when in actual fact it seemed more like she just rolled out of bed.
And bored as Merlin would be playing Sudoku, of course.
Which was a pretty regular occurrence for her but whatcha gonna doooo? Find a friend to bother and poke fun at, obviously. It seemed that it was FATE that Theo would be standing a little bit away, looking absolutely ridiculous. Blue grinned wickedly and sauntered over to him, waving cheerily at him.
"That's a good look on you." Nawwwt really though.
"Totally your colour. You're workin' it." Thumbs up. Ah yes, so unfortunately that you just happened to be trying on a life jacket while she was walking by, Theo, but alas!
