"We were thinking about it- you should definitely join in!" she said, even more excited for the race now. She glanced up at Sander, hoping it was okay that she joined, but honestly, she and Lux had been planning to do this anyway. She doubted he would have a problem with it, after all, they both liked Lux.

"Oh Lux! It's wonderful!" she exclaimed, putting out her hands to see if Lux would let her hold it. "It looks perfect," she praised, as she took a closer look. "Who's Lucas?" she asked, curious. She knew most of Lux's friend, but this one was new. It was nice that Lux was making more friends though.




"All set," she agreed, placing her new boat in the water. She waa happy to see it floating there- it was a shame it didn't have sails. "Oh." She saw a problem with their boat racing idea. "Without sails it will be harder to race them," she said, thoughtfully. "Do you have any ideas as to how we can still race them? We could use Agamenti- but that will only work for a certain distance," she said, thinking aloud.

"Any ideas?" she asked, looking between the two.

Thrn he turned back to Tessa who had now joined them.


How were they going to race their boats? Good question. Sander thought for a moment before suggesting, "We can try the Animation spell, Piertotum Locomotor. Let me see whether it works first."

Sander pointed his wand at his boat and said,"Piertotum Locomotor" and watched as his boat began to move in circles. Next he has to do was to give it a command, "Move fast along the shoreline." Sander watched as the boat raced off. "Finite" Sander yelled after it pointing his wand at it, and the boat stopped and just floated stationary, only moving when the waves of the lake brushed against it.

Sander ran over to pick it up and returned to where the others were standing with their boats. "I guess that's one way of doing it or we could use the Wind blowing charm Ventus to blow it along. What do you ladies think?" Sander asked the others for their opinion.
As Tessa praised her boat, Lux felt herself start to blush because it was so nice to have one of her role models praise her. She really wanted to be as smart and good at magic as Tessa was one day, because Tessa always knew what to do in any situation and was always prepared. "You and Lucas are why I managed to do that boat." Because she sure wouldn't have been able to do it without their assistance.

"You didn't know about the Giant Squid? Apparently he lives in the lake, and I want to get his attention. I was singing Under the Sea here earlier to try to get him to come up, because I am Ariel now; Lucas gave me that nickname." He was so nice and fun, and she really liked him a lot already. Too bad he wasn't going to be racing with him, because he had left off to do something else. "He isn't going to race with us, but he is my new friend and he is in Gryffindor like you, Tessa!" So he had to be brave even if he felt that he wasn't.

Excited to race boats with them, she began bouncing on her feet even though she had no idea how to actually race them. "Me and Lucas wanted to race ours earlier, but we had no idea how to start them." So she was not able to give in any input, sadly. Sighing, she wished she could be more help, but figured she would be okay going along with anything they decided, since they were so much older than her and also smarter.
