There were no oars, no rudder.. not even a set of instructions to follow to get the boat moving, and had Maxie been calmer he might have wondered if this wasn’t - perhaps - a test.

But he was not calm. or thoughtful.

The twelve-year-old huddled in his seat, arms wrapped tight around his gangly legs. He stared hard at the other boy, expecting a word or.. something- anything to get them going, really. “Do you know how to... m-make this t-thing go?” Others had already moved on without help and he was beginning to worry they’d be stuck forever in this awful rain.

Except-
Except maybe if he got really and truly sick he’d be sent home and never have to go to hogwarts at all-

Maybe.

Okay, he was well aware it was a long shot but a boy could dream.

"Hello," she said quietly, though it was likely drowned out by the pounding rain. She huddled the pocket-sized kitten, Blue, under her robes. Blue looked like she was going to stay dry, which was a good thing, because Mary DID NOT want to deal with a wet cat.

Thankful for his moleskin coat and cap that repelled the pouring rain he barked out instructions, amplified by the handy sonorous charm. "Everyone please take a seat in one of the waiting boats and make use of the ponchos! Each boat can take up to 4 students, the quicker you all get on board the quicker we can get up to the castle! Any problems or questions give a shout for Professor Wishart and i’ll be right with you."

Joshua sure hoped that he wouldn’t need to fish out any first years or pet’s for that matter out of the dark lake waters. It was his first boat ride as groundskeeper in charge and he would be very pleased if it went smoothly without hitches, but this was children so he could only wait and see what happened. Hearing a boy's very valid question Joshua turned to answer with a smile on his face even if it was hardly seen in the dark. "The boats are perfectly safe. They move by magic. If you just sit still it will be an enjoyable ride."

.......that was the answer he was afraid he was going to say. These things didn't look safe to Igor and he was only confirming. Igor swallowed and looked around nervously. This poncho he threw on rather quick was not helping with the rain much. Before he knew it someone else was on the boat with them.

"I don't think...."

Hey, wait i don't think these things are safe with more than two peoples. Even if the Groundskeeper said four. He didn't know if that was true. Oh good, they moved by magic. Magic would make sense for it seating all of them and moving.....even in the rain That solved that problem. He started nodding repeatedly thinking this won't be so bad even with a third person in the boat.

"Hey"

Have to be polite to the girl who just got in the boat with them.
