Default Herbology Lesson 1 - Just Keep Swimmin'

Bright and early, Professor June Flamsteed is all smiles and waiting for you by the more secluded area of the lake. It may be a long walk over there, but a bit of walk is all you need to wake up anyway.

Hope you all remembered to wear appropriate swimwear, Professor Flamsteed definitely posted a notice about this prior to this lesson.


OOC: HELLO! And welcome to Herbology Lesson 1. Hope you have read the rules, if not - please do so before posting. Class will begin soon <3

Evan saw the smile from the Professor and offered a small one back, chuckling softly when his sister got spun too, absolutely positive that made. her. day. Professor Flamsteed's love of the subject and enthusiasm seemed evident, and it was really hard to not get excited for her classes even if he sometimes dreaded the beginning of them. He really should learn to just remember it would end up being fun.

But yes, it was apparently time. Having very much a sweet tooth, he could have a picky palate for things that were BITTER or SOUR so he was actually feeling nervous for having to try the plant. But the effects sounded so cool so... trade offs? Maybe he'd get lucky and gillyweed would be oddly sweet? "Anyone still need a partner?" He wished his voice didn't come out so timid asking the question, but he tried to look like he was cool as a seacucumber.

Kamran was indeed on his way. There had been a couple of hold-ups, one of which involved challenging an all-too-familiar student just wandering around, though he may as well have been talking to one of the defence dummies up in the castle for all the answers he'd received.

Future problem; Kamran had agreed to help in this Herbology class, and he was very much a man of his word, exceptional circumstances notwithstanding. He'd continued on to the designated area by the link, mental notes filed away.

"Good morning, Professor Flamsteed," he said, coming to a stop by June and nodding in greeting to her and any students who had not yet entered the water, and glancing at the bag in her hands. "Ready, willing, and able." To be that second pair of eyes, yes.

He'd have to admit that he was excited about the activity, in fact, just like his sister, he would've wanted to do the activity solo. Nothing beats doing such exciting activity alone to be honest, especially if it involved some form of risk. The primary reason for that was he didn't need to be liable for his partner, you know? If something goes wrong, he wouldn't have to answer to it, because he did NOT want to babysit. He was a babysitter by default at home being the eldest, and it was something that he was getting sick of really fast.

And so, when they were asked to partner up, Noah let out a soft sigh. He did not like the feeling of being treated like a child when clearly the current session was an adventure in and of itself. Ugh. He cannot wait to get to uni...

Crossing his arms, he stood back as students partnered up and collected their gillyweeds, hoping he'd be the last one in the line and go solo. One Gryffindor could hope.

Kiz was a little disappointed when Nemesis left, but when Professor Flamsteed announced that they'd be heading into the water, all the disappointment seemed to evaporate instantly. Because because because. Kinsay James would be finding Sir Henry today, regardless of his opinions on mornings! So the directions were only half relevant to Kiz who didn't plan on looking for the secret thing that Professor Flamsteed hid in the water.

If only one group would win the prize, then the chances were already pretty low. So it'd be more worthwhile to go on her OWN mission. Finding the squid was likely a better prize than Kinsay could ever hope to receive from a professor anyway. Besides, it was already decided. Now she just needed a partner who would be willing to go along with it. In the meantime, she made her way over to Professor Flamsteed and retrieved two pieces of gillyweed. "The other one's for my partner," she made sure to assure her professor before making her way over to Evan, after having heard him asking around.

"I'll be your partner," her voice was soft, but there was a bit of mischief in her eyes. She'd tell him the plan once they were out of earshot. If she said anything now, she'd risk ruined plans. "Got you gillyweed." She offered him the piece, looking back to check that their professor wasn't spying.

Okay, so the warming up was over. Claudine literally felt warm because of the exercises, at least the warmest since she had arrived. She made her way over to Flamsteed, hanging back a bit so that she wouldn’t be caught in the midst of the crowd. She automatically glanced to Heath at the mention of group work. Besides, there wasn’t anyone else she trusted to save her should some aquatic creature decided she would make a good breakfast.

Need the boyfriend ask? The bonus was Ashley being with them {because she didn’t see why the younger Ravenclaw would refuse}. “Sure!’’ Claudine was now a tad looking forward to heading into the Lake now that she would have these two with her. “Shall we go get the gillyweed then?”

A smile flashed across her lips and she beamed at him. “I’d love to be a duo or trio!” she said happily before chuckling when she heard his comment. She headed closer to him and was tempted to link arms with her new friend!! Maybe later she’d do that?

I’d love that. I need all the help I can get with creatures,” she laughed, appreciating the reference he made to the Kneazle that was unimpressed with her. It was a little gesture but it meant a lot to the Ravenclaw. “What do you think Gillyweed tastes like?

Lisa did stop in her tracks when she saw Lia and her special friend. THEY WERE HOLDING HANDS? Awww... how cute! But also gross cause cooties but they were so so cute. Oh wait a minute... was this Lia’s SPECIAL FRIEND??!? It must have been.... She didn’t think she had to hold partners with Atlas like that... or did she? She flushed pink at the thought. “Err... I don’t remember holding hands being an instruction,” she whispered to Atlas.

She flipped her hair confidently before resting her hand on her hip. “Anyway we should have a team name because we are going to win. We’re both smart.” Very smart so Lisa was confident that they would RULE this competition.
...there were some regrets. A minor one. And that was with this whole team name thing and then this being a competition? Atlas...didn't want to compete. He wanted to explore and take his time with it. Diligent exploration and not...well, he wasn't even sure what there was to compete about. Auntie June had said there was something down there for ALL of them and therefore accessible and available to everyone. So there really was no competition unless you didn't find it at all and THAT would not happen because he intended to be diligent in his observations and experiencing the Black Lake through the gillyweed experience. He did like that she called him smart though...so that made up for a tiny fraction of his disgust with the rest of what she said.

But before he could get to any of that...

"I'm more worried about the texture than I am the taste," he considered while rubbing his increasingly more square jaw. "Earthy overcooked spaghetti with a murky film over it. I hope it has a bit of a crunch to it." And while she stopped to observe his peers being couply again, Atlas went to collect their gillyweed and came back. He hadn't been paying attention to anyone else too much this lesson, his observations on these particular two coming into the light more another time because his own dormmate Apollo was being shoved out by Tag and there was a certain kind of Gryffindor brotherhood you just HAD (apparently)...and thus he had taken slight noticed. He had also been worried about having two left feet at the time as well. "Oh...uh..." Hand holding...uuuuuuuuh. He wasn't sure what to say to that but when he thought about things practically it made sense. "Well...if you are afraid of getting separated from me then it would be a good idea to hold my hand. Especially while we adjust to our magical enhancements underwater." Standard buddy system stuff, really. "Also grindylows could try and snatch you but if you're holding someone's hand then there is a preemptive defense built in to that." Unless you both got snatched but...minor detail he would omit for now.

Shrugging, Atlas offered her her share of the gillyweed. "...what does that even mean...winning?" Or maybe there WAS just one thing down there and it was a race to who could find it first? That still had no appeal to the Gryffindor. "I don't want to rush the experience. Aun---Professor Flamsteed said at least 20 minutes under water...I intend to milk every second of the gillyweed's effect." Was he being too uncompromising? Maybe. "...but you can name us whatever you want." The name was nonconsequential to him, unlike the exploration opportunity.

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Ash was starting to get worried that she'd be left alone or had to sit out or something. That would be so sad! She needed to get in the water. But thankfully, Heath and Claudine were going to be on her team! Willingly, even. Cool. "Yes, let's form a group." She nodded. "Yes, let's get the gillyweed right now. Like, actually right now. As in, immediately." She nodded again, maybe a little too enthusiastic. She wiped sweat off her face again. Please?????????? Please???????? Please??????? She wanted to get in the water. She wanted to get in the water right now. "Let's go over there and say hi and get the gillyweed and get in the water." Was there a competition going on? Whatever, sure, fine. Ash just wanted to go in the water. Right now.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

The older Slytherin leaving the class had not gone unnoticed by the first year and he wondered why anyone would want to leave a class in which they were going to be EXPLORING THE LAKE?! Or maybe they had a fear of water? OR MAYBE THEY COULDN'T SWIM! yes, that was the most logical explanation on why they would leave this class. But wouldn't the Gillyweed they'd be using later make someone a good swimmer? As the music began to play he sighed. What was it with this school and having to dance to music to warm up? Couldn't they be doing simple stretches without the music? Please?

Still, the boy followed the stretches that the Professor was doing because he did not have a rhythm that he could come up with on the spot. Last time he had followed along with Alfie and had realized how out of shape he had been. Ever since that ancient runes lesson, the Hufflepuff had been using five minutes every weekday to stretch before bedtime. when it was FINALLY!!! time to get inside of the water, Daniel stopped moving and listened to the instructions. So first they had to pair up and then eat the slimy and probably disgusting-tasting Gillyweed. "Can i join a group?" he asked. He promised to be good!

Violet had been looking around, anxiously trying to find a group to join. She'd been daydreaming and was caught off-guard when everyone began to pair up. Then she heard a voice asking to join a group. Turning, she was a little disappointed to see if was a first year--Violet usually tried to pair up with older students, hoping to get an advantage from their experience. Still--at fourth year, she guessed she was becoming an older student herself now. So...

"I'm not a group, but if we pair up, I guess then we'll become one. If you want to," she said to Daniel.

"...but you can name us whatever you want." The name was nonconsequential to him, unlike the exploration opportunity.

She crinkled her nose when he described the apparent texture of gillyweed. “Gross....” she frowned. It sounded less enjoyable than some of the foods that her family had made her try on holidays several years ago. “Hopefully it does have a crunch and it’s not like octopus tentacles.” She liked them fried as calamari because they were salty. She was still coming to terms with liking the non-fried variety.

Lisa was truly oblivious to everything Atlas had accomplished by the time she stopped staring at Tad and Lia. She had LOAAADS of questions about them but now was time to continue on with their activity.

A blush crept across her face. Starting from her nose, pink coloured her nose, cheeks, and tips of her ears at that suggestion. She took a deep breath. It was a practical explanation as to why people should hold hands. She looked to Atlas and then down at her hand briefly and then back to him. “Grindylows sound terrifying. More terrifying than plotting fish and kneazles.... I’d prefer not to get lost or drowned so I will... uh.... hold your hand.... I think it’s sensible

Thanks,” she smiled as she took the Gillyweed that he has offered and eyed it one last time in her hands. Was it still moving or was that just her eyes? Her stomach flipped at the appetizing look of the ... thing. Ahem.... Right. She was about to suggest bottoms up and cheers Atlas but she gave pause when he asked her about winning. She chuckled at his response. “Fine with me. I’m curious to see what this feels like.... but winning for me doesn’t have to be quick? I want to get into the water quick and fast to experience said experiences. But being done with it? I’m a okay with milking it.” She nodded for further effect before shrugging. “Besiiiiides... Winning sounds like it won’t be an actual prize other than bragging rights which is fine by me. I think we’ll win because of our knowledge and hard work. You for your knowledge and me for my stubbornness to get the job done. It’s an unbreakable combo.” Together they were formidable.

but anyway! Maybe we’ll be Team....” What team name combined their names together?! And somewhat cleverly? “Alias. Team 2. Not first, not last, solid mid pack for pace. Whatcha think?” she asked as she headed towards the water slowly.

Kinsay pulled a face as she thought about actually eating the gillyweed. She was a picky eater in general, to be fair. So did she think it'd taste horrid? Easy. "Definitely." The texture was enough to know. But but but. Kinsay REALLY wanted to meet the squid and gillyweed seemed to be the best bet, as standing by the surface and trying to get it's attention hadn't been very effective so far. So. She'd be eating it regardless of how horrid it'd taste. Unfortunately.

"Professor, Evan and I are Team Squid!" And now, for the fun part. She took hold of his arm and attempted to pull him towards the lake.

Because. She. Was. Excited.

"Okay, so, here's the plan." She only started whispering once she was sure they were out of earshot. "We have to find the squid. Have to. It'll be better than finding the prize. I promise." ........ So? "Are you in?" She bounced up and down, her eyes HUGE and filled with all sorts of hope and eager excitement. If he said no, she'd probably be crushed. But it was fine. He wouldn't say no. ....... Would he?

Default little catchup and... team dry land?
Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!

Aerobics and swimming stretches were not what she had expected out of Herbology class (okay, well maybe the swimming stretches, today) but Margaret played along, doing lunges and jumping jacks and some old Muggle disco moves and just generally getting the blood flowing. She was participating, okay? In everything that was just...not underwater.

Totally participating.

When she saw Upstead sneak off...she wondered if she could go, too? Even with all they were learning about gillyweed... magic wasn't about to reassure her she wouldn't drown. Magic was literally the reason she had almost been drowned first year. So, no, she would not be taking any gillyweed. She hung back as everyone paired off, hugging herself a little for comfort from the pure awkwardness that came from not trying to participate.

Was that...Mr. Kazmi? She looked curiously at the flying instructor. Why...was he here? He wasn't going to judge her for not going swimming was he? FOR THE RECORD, she could swim. Just fine. Very well, in fact, she was a fast swimmer, but she did not want too. Because water was dangerous. DANGeROUS.

Default Claudine & Ash + Question for professor!
Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll

SPOILER!!: Claudine & Ash <3

Besides, there wasn’t anyone else she trusted to save her should some aquatic creature decided she would make a good breakfast.

Need the boyfriend ask? The bonus was Ashley being with them {because she didn’t see why the younger Ravenclaw would refuse}. “Sure!’’ Claudine was now a tad looking forward to heading into the Lake now that she would have these two with her. “Shall we go get the gillyweed then?”

As in, immediately." She nodded again, maybe a little too enthusiastic. She wiped sweat off her face again. Please?????????? Please???????? Please??????? She wanted to get in the water. She wanted to get in the water right now. "Let's go over there and say hi and get the gillyweed and get in the water." Was there a competition going on? Whatever, sure, fine. Ash just wanted to go in the water. Right now.


Heath smiled as he caught Claudine looking at him. He knew she wouldn’t refuse his offer; the asking was simply a formality. Oh, and Ash had accepted his offer too. Good! The three of them would make a great team. Who knows? They might even win this competition… whatever it was. He nodded at Claudine’s question, but before he could speak, Ash beat him to it. Wow, someone was eager! He couldn’t remember ever seeing Ash so enthusiastic about anything!

That enthusiasm made him smile a bit more. “Okay, we’ll get the gillyweed immediately,” he said, already turning toward Professor Flamsteed. Soon he was back with three portions of the gillyweed, two of which he gave to Claudine and Ash. The other one he kept for himself. He looked at the greenish plant in his hand, cringing at the slimy texture. He could only hope it would taste better than it felt!

Then a thought occurred to him. He had no idea how long it would take for the gillyweed to work after eating it. Since one couldn’t breathe air while under its effects, maybe they should get into the water first. Just in case, he raised his hand and asked, “Professor, how fast does the gillyweed take effect after eating? Do we need to wait until we're in the lake to eat it?”

Kinsay REALLY wanted to meet the squid and gillyweed seemed to be the best bet, as standing by the surface and trying to get it's attention hadn't been very effective so far. So. She'd be eating it regardless of how horrid it'd taste. Unfortunately.

The distraction of coming up with a team name helped though. It helped loads and LOADS. "Team squid is perfect, Evan!" ... Very apt. Even if he didn't know it yet. Hehe. "Professor, Evan and I are Team Squid!" And now, for the fun part. She took hold of his arm and attempted to pull him towards the lake.

Because. She. Was. Excited.

"Okay, so, here's the plan." She only started whispering once she was sure they were out of earshot. "We have to find the squid. Have to. It'll be better than finding the prize. I promise." ........ So? "Are you in?" She bounced up and down, her eyes HUGE and filled with all sorts of hope and eager excitement. If he said no, she'd probably be crushed. But it was fine. He wouldn't say no. ....... Would he?

Her quick agreement that it would taste terrible had him feeling down. Was there a charm that they could use first to make something taste better? Or was however awful this was going to be party of the e x p e r i e n c e. Probably that, so he wouldn't even bother trying to ask Professor Flamsteed. He eyed the little thing in his hand, already grossed about by the texture to but... well, he had plenty of candy in his bag that he could wash the taste out with later.

The Ravenclaw was unsurprised she liked the name, but pleased none the less he was able to suggest something agreeable. He smiled slightly at her and nodded. He eyed the water again as Kinsay advised of their chosen name, inching closer towards it. They should probably go ahead and get in now, shouldn't they? Only had so long to explore. He was surprised by the arm grab when she pulled him towards the water, trying to not immediately jerk away. He knew she didn't mean anything by it, but he was not at all fond of being touched.

It was fine though. This was fine. He let himself get pulled.

When they were closer to the water and her voice dropped, he raised an eyebrow surprised, but happy to hear, she already had a strategy.

Except.

Whut.

His first inclination was to say no, because what if they lost house points by not following instructions? And he opened his mouth to answer as such, but then snapped it close noticing her expression. Her excitement at the prospect was so similar to the look his sister's often gave him to get him to go along with their silly ideas. He wasn't sure if Lisa had been teaching a class on how to get Evan Nam to say yes to any scheme, but this was it. So he nodded. "I'm in." Even if they didn't look for the prize, as long as they were exploring and using their wands it was still technically doing what they were supposed to right?? Right. "You ready? We've only got 20 minutes and a lot of ground - er... water - to cover."

Well, within the boundaries anyways.

Taking a deep breath of air, he ditched his robe over his swimwear, slipping it into his bag and putting it up higher away from the water and out of the way from others, before returning back to the water's age and... eating the piece of gillyweed as he started into the water.

Ugh. Gross.

Dahlia beamed at Professor Flamsteed when she complimented her perfect form during their stretches. "Thank you, Professor." It might have seemed like a little thing to some but even the tiniest of things like that went a really long way sometimes. And she was glad to see that how hard she was trying was being noticed.

Despite the quietness of the laughter, she still heard it as she continued to stretch some more as instructed. Turning her head just enough so only he Tadhg would see, Lia quickly stuck her tongue out at him in response to his laughing. She was gonna get him back for that. "Mm, I know but I don't really care if it does or not." The taste was something she would have to simply deal with to get to the end results.

FINALLY!!!

It was time to get in the water! Lia grinned widely. Partners. Got it. Blue eyes flickered over towards Tad standing beside her just in time to here his question. "Obviously." They were pretty much always partners, unless they weren't. She took a moment to remove her hoodie and place it into her bag with the rest of her things, no point in get it wet.

Grabbing Tadhg's hand once again she headed over to Professor Flamsteed to get her bit of gillyweed. Cupping the slimy cold gillyweed in her hand, she walked over towards the lake where they were supposed to be getting into the water. "Ready?" Cause she was!

Taking his notes and hoodie and putting them in his bag for safe keeping, he put a little water proof charm on his back to keep it from getting wet. He also did the same thing to his glasses he was wearing as well. He was ready and prepared for this lesson, he had a feeling they were going to go intoctje lake. He loved swimming, so this was going to be a great lesson for sure.

Shaking his head as she stuck his tongue out at him, he quickly did it back. "To be honest neither do I, the ability to go underwater for twenty to thirty minutes? Awesome!" They already tried the PolyJuice Potiond together, so this was nothing compared to that. They were only second years and already dealt and tasted some pretty weird stuff.


Smiling as she agreed to be his partner once again he sighed in relief, he didn't want anyone else to be his partner on this adventure. They were usually always partners, but he was learning that he couldn't always have her. He was trying he really was, but that was another issue. Doing some last minute streches and popping his neck he was ready to go.


Letting Lia guide them towards Professor Flamsteed. he gave her a soft warm snile before looking at Lia. Giving Lia's hand a small squeeze he smiled at her. "So ready, lets do this Bubbles!" He was ready to do this and hit the water and have fun.

"I'm not a group, but if we pair up, I guess then we'll become one. If you want to," she said to Daniel.
It didn't take long before one of the students had agreed to work together with him although he did have a feeling that she wasn't too pleased. Not that it mattered to him if she was or not he was just glad to have found a partner. "Alright, I'm Daniel" he said casually. "We need a team name, right?" was it even a team if there were only two people? Maybe they needed a couple name? Eww no too gross. "Wait, I'll go get us some gillyweed" he walked to the professor , mentioned that he was getting a piece for himself and for his partner before walking back and handed her one. "It looks disgusting doesn't it?" he asked as he held the piece up to his eye level and wiggled it. Maybe he could prank V with this stuff one day?

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Claudine narrowed her dark eyes at Ashley. That girl was being unlike herself. The sixth year supposed whatever it was that had caused the intense red face earlier was also the cause for this unnatural behaviour. She shot Heath a look that said, ‘What’s up with her?’ The gentleman of a boyfriend brought back three pieces and Claudine gingerly took one. “They do look like rats tails,” she observed in disgust. Just think, they actually had to eat that!

Ugh.

Also, Heath had raised a good question. “Maybe we should eat it on the shore of the Lake,’’ she suggested but was looking in Flamsteed’s direction for her answer. Claudine had no intention of floundering around like a fish out of water by eating this disgusting thing without proper information on the timing.

When was Ash being herself, exactly? What did that even mean? Who was she? What was the real her?

Ash would have argued that she was acting extremely normal because her normal self liked to cover up problems and bottle up emotions. She was behaving quite predictably, which meant erratically, which was very usual for her and therefore predictable.

"We could just stand by the water, take the gillyweed, and then put our heads in the water." But they could always ask the professors first. Sure, safety, blah blah blah. She needed to get in the water and cool down her emotions before her emotions spilled out. "I'm just ready to go. In the water. Right now." Yeah.

Ugh. Gross.
Kinsay would've felt all sorts of guilty if she knew about his aversion to touch. It was just. She was just. SO EAGER. SO EXCITED! How many times had she come to the lake in search of Sir Bartholomew Henry, only to drag her feet back to the castle in horrible disappointment? Far too many times. Maybe ten, at least. But this time they had something that changed the whoooole game. Gillyweed was the secret to finding the squid. She just knew it.

So when he agreed to ditch the lesson plan and join her in the hunt for Henry, Kinsay's WHOLE face lit up. She wanted to hug him, but she didn't because that might be weird. Maybe she'd hug him after their swim, once they became bonded for life because they found the giant squid together. Maybe then.

She shook her fists with excitement, bouncing up and down in place (but only a little bit, as she didn't want to draw too much attention). "Ready, Freddy!" She gave him an eager two thumbs up, before pulling her t-shirt over her hand and discarding it alongside her shorts. Taking Evan's lead, Kinz stepped into the water. "Here we gooooooo." She gave him a nervous sort of look and plugged her nose before popping the gillyweed into her mouth and....

Ew.

It was even worse than she was expecting it to be (and she had been expecting the worst).

The effects took place quickly. First the webbing of her feet and then her hands. Instead of staying above water to wait for her gills, Kinsay decided to make a S P L A S H! Hopefully Evan would join because it was kind of hard to breathe up there. She'd just wait here under the water for him. Breathing was way easier in all the wet.

Dahlia laughed making several more faces at him childishly just because she knew that she could and and she knew it would get him to laugh. "Great! We got the Gillyweed, we need a team name.. what do you want our team to be called? It can be anything right? A creature or a color or something else that we like?" Coming up with a team name wasn't easy because she liked sooooo many different things and she didn't want it to seem to girly.

Reaching the edge of the lake she looked out over the water. "We only have twenty to thirty minutes. So we have to stay together, be careful and have out wands at the ready." There was no room for error. Would really like for this to be a good experience without any mishaps and not to turn into something she'll end up fearing or having nightmares over. "How far into the water do you think we should go before eating the gillyweed?" Glances over at him curiously.

Violet didn't even have a chance to get her name out in response to Daniel's greeting when he was talking about team names (did they need to name themselves? Violet hadn't heard the teacher mention that), and then he ran off to get the gillyweed. That last was rather handy, though--Violet was glad to see this first year was willing to step up to the plate and not just wait around for her to do anything.

But, first things first. "My name's Violet, by the way--Violet Blackthorne," she said, "and from what I've read, yes, it tastes and feels rather awful. But considering what it does for you, I'm willing to put up with it." And with this last remark, she took her share of the gillyweed, popped it in her mouth, and began chewing it meditatively.

But this time they had something that changed the whoooole game. Gillyweed was the secret to finding the squid. She just knew it.

So when he agreed to ditch the lesson plan and join her in the hunt for Henry, Kinsay's WHOLE face lit up. She wanted to hug him, but she didn't because that might be weird. Maybe she'd hug him after their swim, once they became bonded for life because they found the giant squid together. Maybe then.

She shook her fists with excitement, bouncing up and down in place (but only a little bit, as she didn't want to draw too much attention). "Ready, Freddy!" She gave him an eager two thumbs up, before pulling her t-shirt over her hand and discarding it alongside her shorts. Taking Evan's lead, Kinz stepped into the water. "Here we gooooooo." She gave him a nervous sort of look and plugged her nose before popping the gillyweed into her mouth and....

Ew.

It was even worse than she was expecting it to be (and she had been expecting the worst).

The effects took place quickly. First the webbing of her feet and then her hands. Instead of staying above water to wait for her gills, Kinsay decided to make a S P L A S H! Hopefully Evan would join because it was kind of hard to breathe up there. She'd just wait here under the water for him. Breathing was way easier in all the wet.
Even though he'd probably made the wrong decision, it was hard to not feel like he'd made the right one when her entire face lit up the way it did. They'd be fine, this was fine. Maybe they'd get lucky and even ACTUALLY find the squid? It would be pretty cool...

Her face after eating the gillyweed was not encouraging, but he just took the plunge and shoved it into his mouth immediately after and tried to just swallow without tasting. Did NOT want to know the full taste of it, but had had enough to know it was GROSS. Dove into the water after Kinsay because didn't really want to stand in the air now that he was essentially turning into a fish out of water. So should be a fish uh.. in water.

He was relieved to see she'd waited and offered her a two thumbs as well, which was both hard and looked incredibly odd now that he had webbing. He didn't know if they could talk and be easily understood but.. he was going to try. "Where you want to start?" It sounded kind of warbly. But taking the water in didn't hurt him or anything so.. that seemed fine at least.

This was really, really cool.

He kept his wand in his hand as requested, just in case there ended up being a need for it as well.

Kinsay James fully intended on finding the squid today, even if he wasn't a morning person. And once a Gryffindor set their mind to something.... It best become a reality because the alternative would not be pretty.

Still waiting for Evan under the water, Kinz took to looking around and breathing with her new gills. This was so awesome! Kinsay would have to ask Professor Flamsteed for more gillyweed when they were done with the lesson. It'd be really useful for future adventures too. Maybe she could even convince Cal to use some with her! He wanted to see Sir Henry too, Kizzy remembered. Fortunately, Kiz wasn't left with her own thoughts for terribly long (as that often leads to disaster). She waved to the other half of Team Squid, her face fully revealing all her surprise when he started speaking.

Whoa. She didn't know they'd be able to do that. As for where to start... Kinz tapped her chin, looking around, before looking back to Evan and confidently pointing DOWN! Sir Henry probably slept in some sort of cave. Maybe. Kizzy probably should've read up on Giant Squids before going to search for one. But there wasn't any time to waste, so she just motioned for Evan to follow her as she started swimming down, down, doooooooooooooooooown.

She didn't really know where to go after that though, so um. Hopefully he had ideas.

Default Daniel--Violet's going into the water!

Violet watched in amazement as the webbing began to form between her toes and then her fingers. Next would be gills, supposedly. She figured she'd better get into the water before that happened.

She hadn't heard much from her younger partner since he'd brought over the gillyweek, but Violet couldn't wait much longer on land. She turned to Daniel over her shoulder and said, "Now or never! See you on the other side." And with that, she splashed down into the water, one step at a time, and began feeling her neck for any signs of gill formation.
