And now... where would they head into? She just followed the groundskeeper man until she realized they're going to ride a BOAT to Hogwarts. COOL! "There's still a space for me, right? Count me in!" The brunette girl said to the fellow firsties and climbed into the boat. Where's Teddy by the way? She just didn't understand how could her twin brother walked very slowly like that, wasn't he excited? Quote:

He frowned at Blaise and bore his way between him and the other two girls that were there. "You were suppose to wait for me fat head!" Grrrr. "Wait and keep a seat and all that. What if I had gotten stuck with the second boat?" Just couldn't count on Blaise could you?
"Everyone huddle up so I can get a picture." He'd get the names later...or Blaise could actually since that was his job. Quote:

The boy watched as a girl he didn't know then one he'd briefly run into in Diagon both boarded. "Welcome aboard mateys." He greeted in his absolute BEST pirate's voice. "I be the Cap'n of this ship and I'll be makin' sure we get to the castle in one piece." It would be easy because he was gonna be best friends with the squid then THEY could have safe passage across.
A wide grin spread across his face when his cousin practically flung himself at the boat. "Mate, you made it!" Ignoring that whole fathead comment and he hoped his quill did too. "You wouldn't have gotten stuck on the second boat. I'm the Captain, I'd just make somebody walk the plank for you. DUH."
But anyway they were taking pictures so Blaise stood and got himself squished between both girls with wobbly steps then another grin. "Ready when you are." Hurry up so he could go back to his Captain seat. Quote:

Upon approaching the boats, he noticed a few kids who looked like his age. And since first years traveled alone it was safe to assume there were indeed his age. And they were taking a picture. Not to be rude but he had an important question and did not think he could wait until after they were done. "Excuse me, but does anyone know the maximum capacity for the boats?" Important question. He needed to know in order to decide whether he could join or go to a separate boat.
Oh, and there was someone who wasn't on the boat like him, a silent kid.[Daxton] Was he wondering about the capacity as well? Al casually stood next to him. "I think we should take another boat. Since we don't know the boats' capacity," So if the boy knew, now would be a good time to tell him. By the time Riley had seated herself on the boat, another person was climbing in, this time one she recognised. AVA. "Ava, right?" She was probably right. It wasn't like she'd met that many people yet, so she didn't have the many names to remember.
Oh. OH. The first boy was talking. He was ... the captain of the ship? "I didn't know this tiny boat needed a captain," she said, looking around at it. It hardly looked like it needed a captain. And was he a self proclaimed captain, or was there some sort of job appointing thing that she hadn't been aware of? "Does the captain of our ship have a name? And why wouldn't we be getting to the castle safely?" She grinned to let him know that she was friendly and didn't mind that he was captain, and opened her mouth to ask another string of questions, but was interrupted by someone else climbing aboard.
This boy and the first boy seemed to know each other, she noticed. And, wow, he seemed ...... not mean, but, like, sorta. Calling someone fathead was not nice, but she didn't know them, so who knew, maybe that was the first boy's nickname? HEY WAIT. Make someone walk the plank? "Better not be me," she muttered, a little more apprehensive about the two boys now, and shuffled closer to Ava. But ... they were having a picture, and now that she thought about it, she wanted to remember as being one of the people on the first boat to Hogwarts in her year, so huddled up with the two more and pulled Ava with her.
CHEEEEEEEEESE.
But wait again. There was another boy who was interrupting their photo and asking a question. She could've ignored him, but a) that was mean and she wasn't a mean person, and b) when she asked questions, she liked getting answers, so why shouldn't she help him out? "I think it's four to a boat," she said, squinting at the Groundskeeper man for confirmation. |
