What makes him think that?" Did the squid carry around a sword or something? Wear scarlet and gold? Not that squids typically wore clothes, but they also didn't usually have names, eat bread, or speak English either.

Bernie...randomly had some bread in her bag? Okay, then. Whatever worked. Even though her question was directed toward Asher, Isla nodded. "I think it's worth a try," she answered. Besides, now that they were talking about this squid so much, Isla wanted to see it. If bread was what it took, then so be it. Also, his name was Bartholomew Henry? What a mouthful! And who on earth had given him that name? "Aren't there grindylow in this lake?" she thought to ask. If Asher was just going to dive on out there, he should probably know that he might have some visitors.

The first year kicked off her shoes and socks and waded out to maybe the first foot or two of water. She wasn't going for a swim, but a nice wade would be cool. Also, if the squid was going to make an appearance, she wanted a good view of the action!

"Bartholomew Henry," he repeated, making a few long strides in the water to grab the sandwich baggie from the Gryffindor. By the time he made it over to her, that Bubblehead Charm had fully run its course. He didn't notice that, however; he was a bit preoccupied with examining the sandwiches. They seemed ... old? Buuuuuuuut food was food, right? "Thanks!"

Asher shrugged about the whole squid-in-disguise thing. "Not sure why Kenny told me that Bartholomew Henry was secretly Godric Gryffindor. Maybe just an old rumour? Or maybe he's just messing with me..." He was just going off what he was told. He was just eleven after all. There was so much for him to learn and all that. "But we can know for sure if Bartholomew Henry shows up, and we can ask whatever else we wanna know."

The boy then started to tread back to his original position in the lake, sandwiches in hand. He faced Isla when she mentioned grindylows. "Yeah, they're in this lake," he replied. But there was no concern in his voice. "They shouldn't be this close to the surface though. They tend to stick to weed beds at the bottom of lakes." At least that's what all the books he read about water creatures said, and he wasn't planning on going that far down to meet them.

"Could you both keep watch? Blast them away and all that should they show up? Uhh ... just in case?" He clearly didn't have his wand on him and was too young to die.


Bernie didn't really know what to think about this rumor about Godric Gryffindor, except that it didn't make sense to her that her house founder would be a giant squid, like, wouldn't he be more like a lion, or a hippogriff, or something cool like that? So she just kinda shrugged and popped a few more jelly beans in her mouth as she watched the Hufflepuff and the Slytherin.

Mhmmhmm, yep, she'd watch out for grindylows. "And merpeople," Bernie mumbled through a mouthful of candy before she swallowed it. "Watch out for the merpeople, and be polite to them if you see them, and any seahorses or fish you see. But save the sandwich," as old and moldy as it was, "for um, Barty."

Yeah, that was all the advice she had. She'd wait till he dived under before she talked to Isla about what the kid's chances of survival were.
