Spotting Mark in his own boat, Nettie grinned and immediately headed towards that one. As she approached, an older Ravenclaw girl (whose name escaped her at the moment, oops) and climbed in. "Hello!" she piped up as she plopped in.

'Hi..can I join you guys?,' she asked.

When the boats appeared, Anna could hardly see because she wasn't exactly at the front of the group, but she wasn't bothered. Soon enough she managed to get close enough to find a boat with an empty seat. She climbed onto it and greeted those in there. All Ravenclaws, it seemed. Anna didn't have a problem with that. "Hi, all!" She greeted them with a grin as she settled in. "I'm Anna." She introduced herself in case some of them didn't know her name, and also hoping that would make them tell her their names, because although she had seen some of them before, she actually didn't know them.

Except the little boy who was Ravenclaw's keeper the previous year. Gunter. She knew that much. It'd be helpful to know his first name, actually. "Where's my-" There the oar was! The fifth year quickly grabbed one and got ready to row! "Cool!" She finished with a beamy grin.

At first it was fine an Older girl from his same house joined him in the boat. That wasn't so bad if others around his age joined him then it wouldn't feel very awkward. In fact he was sure the awkwardness would reverse onto the older girl for getting into a boat of younger students. "Hi." Mark said with a smile to her as she settled into her seat.

Who else. OH Nettie! Mark liked Nettie she was fun to be around, and she was only a year older than him. Wait no not like liked Nettie, maybe he just liked her. "H-hi, Nettie. Welcome aboard!" Heheh that was so dumb and awkward Mark covered his face with his hood a bit more. Maybe he'll go back to disguising his voice again.

Next in Line? a First year. Mark was there once, that was last term. What a weird term that was. Why was he acting awkward in his own thoughts?! C'mon man! Man up!! "S-sure. yeah the more the Merrier." Ah butts he forgot to disguise his voice. Too late now. Just be Mark as Mark as you can be.

Oh...so far it was a Ravenclaw Boat! That made Mark calm down a bit....nope

Who was this? The Gryffindor Captain? Uh...Anna? Mark supposed it was inevitable that his boat wasn't going to be full Ravenclaw. "Hi, Anna I'm Ma..." oh she was already moving on to start rowing, Okay. He grabbed at his oar too then looked at his fellow rowers. Was it on his command to start rowing that was his role as the coxswain to start the process right? Except he had oars too so maybe he wasn't in absolute command?

He looked again....Oh..oh Geeze his Boat was full of girls...Okay that's okay Mark nothing wrong with that. Why hesitate? "W-we can go now. If if you want to go. It's not on my command though, you know. I don't want to be the boss or anything. Just a suggestion." Ugh so much for Mark being as Mark as he could.

Anna was a Gryffindor and a Captain too. She could Captain the Boat instead of him. Please take command! Actually maybe the stern of the boat was on her end anyways. So she was at the front so yeah she was in command!! There, problem solved.


It hadn't occurred to him until he heard the Headmaster tell this Hufflepuff to not step into his boat that Mark would have felt a little less outnumbered. No he can be here with them! Please...Just make the boat a little bigger or something with your expert magic! Mark just gave the first year Hufflepuff an apologetic look as he was sent elsewhere to be on another boat.

Sorry.


Mariam was starting to think that she had indeed chosen the boat in which she would be the oldest by the mile within it, though had a slight sigh of relief that someone a little older joined them, regardless that it broke their streak of blue and bronze. Not that she had anything against younger years. A little more experience would have been ideal, but who knew, they could surprise her.

Plus, it was learning experience now and all that.

"Mariam," she said with a slight nod of her head to introduce herself. She'd gotten the names of Nettie and Anna, and a hint at the boy's name, but figured if she needed the rest... well, they were sitting right there if they found themselves gliding through dangerous waters. To go or not to go? That was indeed the question. Alas, the professor gave them their cue.

"Looks like zat is our green light." To go, that is, before they lost the professor. Grabbing the oar she'd be working with, she waited to begin so they'd be in sync with one another, at least up until...

Oh.

Which way... captain?
