He was funny, and Tessa suspected that he wasn’t even trying to be funny.

Her suspicions about this lesson being about Hinkypunks were confirmed soon enough. That explained the lack of light and the bogginess. “They’re like smoke and carry a lantern,” she said in answer to his question. And, in a stroke on GENIUS if she did say so herself, Tessa had a thought. "Depending on how far away the creatures are, could you use Homenum Revelio? Then you could find out if the source of the light is a person or not. I mean, that still might not work if there's a person and a Hinkypunk around. So it's not exactly foolproof but it's probably better than yelling 'HEY, YOU THERE. ARE YOU A HINKYPUNK?', right?"

Heh.

Wasn’t she just so concise?

Tessa was not disappointed when they reached their destination. They were getting into boats? It was like first year all over again. Except, presumably, with something related to Hinkypunks added.

People climbed into boats, one after another, and Tessa was having a hard time following who was in a boat with who and which boats, if any, had any spare places. So, she clambered into a new boat. Her boat was soon filled, too, as more students joined, each of them taking control of an oar. She grinned good-naturedly at each of them. "I'm Tessa," she introduced herself before the Headmaster started talking again. They were still supposed to have their wands away, right? The point was to follow the Headmaster's light...and voice, she supposed. Which was actually more difficult now than when they were walking - there was more fog over the water.

"Oh, is that another light?" She asked the other students in her boat. If it wasn't for the fact she was already looking at the Headmaster's light, she would have found it hard to tell which light was the right light to follow. OHHHHH!!! That was the whole point, wasn't it? Duh. "Keep your eyes of that one," she told her boatmates, nodding in the direction of the Headmaster's light.

If this was going to row himself to his death by falling off the boat and drowning, he'd rather just get out of here.

But too late, they were going off already and Drewett held onto his oar very tightly. Good thing it was dark because then his boat mates wouldn't be able to see how pale he really was anymore. And he was pale, it would almost seem like he was close to fainting. "Drew..." he said in introduction. Nice to meet you before my possible death, I guess. The Ravenclaw carefully began to row, making sure he doesn't lose grasp of his oar or else he would have the tendency to drop it any moment now.

And when the other lights began showing up amidst the fog, Drewett patterned his breathing again and again and again. He needed to stay calm and focused on the headmaster's light. It wasn't that difficult, actually, under normal circumstances. Drewett was rather good at concentrating on things and he certainly wasn't easily distracted. It was just his growing anxiety. It would be his worst enemy today, not the hinkypunks. "Straight... just straight...." Please do not move anywhere but straight, headmaster. Please.

Eugh. People.

Odaline supposed that being out on the water at least meant she could make someone fall overboard by accident a time or two. But she still wasn't happy about being here with them. She didn't introduce herself, just took in the names of her group and shrugged when it came to giving her name. Sorry, unavailable.

She was intrigued when it came to the new lights appearing, yet she was already looking in a different direction to what she had started looking in. Was... that the same light her boat mates were talking about? Who knew? Not her, because she wasn't going to even look at them. She'd just move her oar and exist in silence.

Plotting.
