Donald....? Elodie considered questioning the name of the duck he was trying to flirt with, but before she could things moved into somewhat slow motion dramatics.
THE KID WAS GOING TO DROWN IF SHE DIDN'T PLAY HERO.
Which meant she needed to.
Because she'd seeeeeeeeeeeeen him. Around her own common room. AROUND HER LIFE. Which meant she NEEDED to. Someone needed to stop her ever leaving the castle if this was what was going to happen every time she did leave. Thank Merlin she had moved closer, huh? She left it close enough for him to take a little bit of a dunk. Not all of him though. She'd only been able to catch him by the scruff of his neck, so no doubt he had wet legs. That was all depending on whether he was smart enough to tuck them up or whatever.
"Now sit down over there. On your bottom."
CHILDREN.
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! He was falling! He was falling into the pond and he was gonna die! Oh Merlin! Why had he decided to be such a show off and not listen to his Housemate? Why, why, oh why? Adi's little hands were already soaked as well as the front part of his T shirt.
But suddenly he felt a hand grab him around the neck area and hauled him back towards shore. Sit? Don't mind if he did. Adi obediently followed the girl's order and sat his bottom down on the edge of the pond.
"I should have listened to you,'' he said shakily.
"I'm sorry.'' He shook his head to get some of the water out. Even more water had been splashed on him when the ducks tried to escape when he unceremoniously decided to drop into their pond.
