 joining Natalie, three spaces left Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
Well, that made sense. And honestly, Abra did try not to be so worried and anxious about what could go wrong, but also he'd seen a lot of things in life that had taught him to expect the worst. He hadn't quite reached the level of paranoia of an ex-Auror, but... you know... monster in a portal.
Anyway, regarding the lesson, in a way Abra was actually glad that they were traipsing through a bog, because it gave him an iron clad excuse not to take notes. Now he could just listen to what everyone was saying and forget it - because he had a memory like a sieve - and it wouldn't even be all his own fault.
After listening to the Headmaster's instructions, Abra squinted around at the boats for one he could hop into. Except, you know, not literally hop. Even if they were charmed not to capsize, he couldn't risk losing his balance and going overboard or something. Spotting one boat that seemed only to hold one person, Abra made an immediate beeline for it. He climbed inside as carefully as he could - he really didn't trust himself not to fall face first into the water - and peered through the gloom to see who he had joined.
It was Natalie McKinley. "Oh, uh... Hi, Natalie." ... Was it terribly rude of him to have just climbed on board without asking if she was okay with it? UhhhhhhHHHHH...
Well... too late now. |
