Wait what? Life jackets? Pfffft. What in merlin's beard would they be needing one of those for? There was a Giant Squid that would probably woosh in and save them...of course there were also a few mermaids and grindylows...which when you think about it, would find it easier to drag your butt to the bottom if they could get a good grip on the jacket, they wouldn't even need to grab you.

Lex had heard that they weren't allowed on the lake without one and considered briefly taking her chances. What's the worse that could happen?

"We'll take that boat over there." She said, slipping on the jacket after another moment of thought. Being pulled from the lake by a new Grounds Keeper was NOT how she planned to start her new term. Merlin knew it had started out bad enough already. "Let's go then."


Sarah struggled a bit more with her life jacket before finally closing it. "All done" She followed Alexa's gaze. All the boats meant the same to her anyway "Great" she said, "who is going to row first?" she asked.
"I would not mind, yet if I row then it won't be so fast." Justing putting it out there.

"We need to work out logistics before we get on the boat though, including the rowing location. These logistics will determine where each of us sit and therefore the order of our boarding the boat" She would not mind the boat overturning... yet the others would.

Not really sure what Sarah suddenly shouted, Penelope followed the other two Gryffindors and nodded as Alexa continued on about tryouts. "Yeah, that's the best part." Besides flying and trying out herself, of course. Seeing people try out for Beater and turning out to be good or bad at it was the best (and most dangerous) part.

And she didn't really think not wearing a life jacket would be all that life-threatening since she could swim and had her wand with her, but she grabbed one anyway and quickly slipped it on as Sarah and Alexa chose a boat. And Sarah seemed set on trying to figure everything out before they even got in the boat.

"You can row if you want, Sarah." Penelope didn't really care who did, and it had been Sarah's idea to begin with, so letting her row seemed fair enough. "I dunno if we have to choose a location right now though. Why not just row around and stop wherever we feel like?" The lake was the lake so it was all pretty much the same, so it didn't really matter where they stopped at all that much in her mind.


Even Penelope agreed the beater's aspect was the funniest. "Wouldn't it be epic if Alice let us all try for beater during one of the tryouts?? Imagine all the bats swinging and bludgers flying." It would look like a really gruesome tryout...and she imagined at least one person would end up having to see the healer but that was half the fun yeah?

She looked to Sarah who'd been going on about rowing and logistics. Whoa. Stop. No. She'd only just come off of vacation, no need for talk like that. She nodded at what Penelope said, trying to put an end to it.

"You can row if you want, I'm in no real hurry to get somewhere on the lake. If you get tired you could just let me know and I'll take over." There, volunteering to row without actually volunteering because she wouldn't if she didn't have to.

Lex grabbed hold of the boat they'd chosen. "Let's get it on the lake then!"
