IT WAS ON, AVA!

Luckily his glasses were removed because he was getting SOAKED. He got his wand, waved it so that a mini tide came splashing up on the Lion. Hehe. "How do you like that?'' Ah, a swim! "Yeah! I believe there's a barrier that blocks off how far we can go but it doesn't matter. I would beat you, Ava.'' He winked.

"A promise I see you've been keeping so far.'' Adi approved. It was nice to see Ava could keep a promise to her mom. Annnnd now he was laughing at the thought of her receiving a Howler with a magnified voice shouting in Russian. Awwwh, stop giving him the suspicious look. "She just asked me to look out for you guys to see if you'll need help with stuff like homework, finding your way around he castle and so forth.''

Cue the laughter from Adi. "I happen to like hanging out with Teddy too. That boy has got some knowledge! You would think he was a Professor or something. But yeah, don't tell anyone that I like hanging out with you more. Fellow pranksters have to stick together.'' Hehe. ''You have one of the coolest big sisters, by the way.'' Just in case Ava didn't realise that.

Alrightey!

It seemed like Bentley would not be calling the Squid, being more focused on snapping a picture. This was fine by Adi. He also wondered if the guy remembered him since they had met at Scribbulus though it was only briefly.

"BAAAAAAARTHOLOMEW!'' the seventh year joined Ava in shouting. He paused long enough, however, to answer Bentley's question. "A little of both I think. The last time I called him, he came over quickly because he was hanging around. Basking in the sun, if I remember right.'' There was a tilt of his head as he continued. "If you don't get to meet him today, there are still plenty of days left in the school year.'' So let's be optimistic!
