Leo appreciated the fact that Cassie tried to get him to see that it wasn’t his fault that she had fallen in even if he felt that way.
Treading water and trying to not think of the fact that he was starting to go numb in his toes because of the icy cold water Leo watched with anticipation as Cassie swam towards the ladder and climbed up. She did it faster and more efficiently then Leo would have thought given how cold she was. When he too was back on the boat he conjured up two sets of blankets. Handing one of them over to Cassie he said grinning weakly. "I think the student’s had a good laugh on our expense, because it probably looked funny from where they were standing. I just hope we don’t end up in the aparecium."
Sitting down on the bench Leo started to row with strong strokes. "Just concentrate on getting warm Cassie. I’ll get us to shore in no time." Hopefully Cece wasn’t waiting there with a reprimand ready for taking a dip in the icey lake water. She was glad she didn't hurt him with the oar, but she still felt bad about him jumping in after her and ruining his fishing trip. Sitting now in the boat she watched him conjure two blankets. She couldn't believe how incredibly sweet he was. It seemed the Hogwarts staff was full of such amazing and caring people. "Thank you." Pulling out her own wand she began drying herself and then pointed it towards Leo. "My turn to help you." Using the drying charm she soon had them both dry, though her hair and shoes were still ruined from the water, but it was fine. She'd fix them both later.
Wrapping up in the warm blanket her green eyes watched as he rowed them back to shore. "So glad my purse didn't fall in." Her kitties wouldn't have been able to handle the water. She glanced at it sitting safely with two little heads peaking out watching. Turning her focus back on Leo she chuckled, "Oh goodness, they wouldn't waste their time on an article about two professors falling out of a boat." That wasn't gossip. She knew that paper well. She loved reading it as a child, her want to know what was going on and the fun of it. She had read a few articles so far.
As they continued towards the shore she looked to see which students were possibly watching and laughing. She began to laugh thinking about it. "I bet you will never ask me to do something outdoors again." Maybe he wouldn't ask her to do anything again. What a way to start a friendship. It was very comical if you could look past ruining the man's fishing.
