| | | Fun Under the Sun  <3Thank you Karla for the beautiful graphic! Gazing out upon the lagoon you are reminded of just how perfect and beautiful nature can be. The crystal clear water of the lagoon beckons you to take a dip in its tranquil waters. Whether it be just your tired feet or for a full on splashing swim, the water is at a wonderfully fresh temperature with depths that vary from very shallow to deep enough to dive in.
Schools of bright fish are seen darting here and there and more than one turtle is seen lounging in the afternoon sun at the water’s edge where the lagoon is fringed with sandy beach and flattened rocks are found perfect for sunbathing.
Feel like jumping in? Why not use the ever convenient rope swing your prefects installed precisely for that reason. Rocky easily climbable out-croppings frame the lagoon's clear water, providing the ideal location to jump safely off of. And let’s not forget the waterfall that slopes in such a way that it could easily be used as a water slide.
But that’s not all the lagoon has to offer. Explore the hidden cove behind the waterfall where beautiful coral decorates the entrance and fluorescent algae embellish the cave walls drawing your attention to the amazing sea shell mosaic of the Black Lake against the far wall.
Truly, this abandoned paradise is a fitting end for your adventurous quest. |

If it happened to Carter. She didn't know how to swim.
Shrugging her shoulders, she sat up on the turtle and drew her wand, ready to show him how AWESOME she is at the 'Aguamenti' charm. Being best friends with Evelyn, a borderline pyromaniac, she HAD to be an expert at that spell. But, apparently, Carter was going to be a party pooper and not let her show him. "You're no fun, you know that?" Merlin, Caroline not only broke his heart, she took away all his.. whatever it is that makes a person fun. She had no idea. "I think we need to name these turtles." she said, putting her wand away and laying back down on the turtle. "I already have a name picked out for mine." And it was a GOOD name. The BEST name ever. Patroclus. "Really? You think that? I happen to think I'm worth quite a good time." Carter said sneaking a look at Destiny. Maybe she was just saying that because he didn't want to see her do the 'Aguamenti' charm? He hoped that was all. He'd hate to think he was losing his 'fun' factor. "That's a good idea." he said staring at the sky again. "I'll name mine..." Not Caroline. He couldn't do that. It would be way too embarrassing to openly admit that he missed her. A lot! "Caro --- uhh." Merlin. How was he going to fix this? "Care if I name mine after you?"
Blink. Blink. That was the best save he could come up with?

Blink. Blink. That was the best save he could come up with? No, she didn't think that at all. She KNEW it. It was one-hundred percent pure FACT that Carter was no fun. What was the point of riding on an enlarged turtle if he wasn't planning on getting wet? Destiny, on the other hand, had two perfectly good reasons why she wasn't getting wet. One, she had chocolate frogs in her pockets, and two, she didn't know how to swim. An 'Aguamenti' Charm to the face would surely knock her right into the water. "Then let me wet you." Or it would be the end of that conversation and he would be dubbed BORING.
A grin broke out on her face as he thought her idea was good. Of course it was, it came from her head after all. She sat back upright on the turtle and waited to hear the name he picked out for his. Caro-uhh?
That was HORRIBLE! The poor turtle would be teased by her turtle -- "You want to name her after me?" If Destiny had any sense, she would have said that wasn't a good idea. But, she had none, so she didn't. Her grin widened and she nodded her head vigorously. "Of course!" Which meant.. "And I shall name my turtle after YOU! All they need now are wool bombs."
Speaking of wool bombs, did Carter have any of them left?

Speaking of wool bombs, did Carter have any of them left? Carter pouted silently for a moment. "Fine." he said finally agreeing. If all it took was him getting a little wet for his 'fun' to be back... well, there were worse things that could happen.
Besides. It wasn't like it would be terribly inconvenient to get wet. He was wearing swim trunks.
He blinked a few times waiting for her response. Hopefully she wouldn't have caught on to him almost saying Caroline.
Phew. She didn't. "Of course. It would only make sense." he said. He smiled when she grinned and nodded. "Brilliant." he said after she declared she was naming her turtle after him. "We have a turtle bond now." Which... sounded slightly cooler in his head. He'd have to come up with a better name for it.
He tilted his head to the side. "You want to give our turtles wool bombs?" he asked. She better have a good reason for it... "Because... I have some up in the tower still..." And if she had a good reason for giving them to turtles then the bag would be down here in the time it takes to say "accio wool bombs."

And if she had a good reason for giving them to turtles then the bag would be down here in the time it takes to say "accio wool bombs." Destiny gave Carter an almost pleading look. All she wanted to do was wet him. She was sure it would, not only have herself considering him fun again, she was sure it would make him forget all about his broken heart. Yes, she was doing him a favor! Her grin widened as he allowed her to FINALLY wet him, and just as she was about to draw her wand once more, she decided not to. It was not going to be as much fun, for her, if he expected her to get him. It had to be a surprise attack. "I don't want to anymore." Lie, lie, LIE!! Hehe.
She began pet, pet, petting the turtle's shell once again. And now that he had a name, although, Carter was not as good of a name as Patroclus, but it'll do. Glancing over at the Gryffindor at the mention of this 'turtle bond' they now had, Destiny raised an eyebrow. "Do we get to wear capes?" It sounded like something that would let them wear them, and well, capes were AWESOME!
Mimicking Carter, she too tilted her head to the side. "It only makes sense." It did. To her. They bonded over wool bombs, their turtles, with the same name should do the same, right!? Right. "You should.. summon them." Carter received a shifty look.

"You should.. summon them." Carter received a shifty look. Carter shrugged. "Your loss." he said with a grin. Destiny was lying. She had to be. She seemed so excited about splashing him just a second ago. She was obviously waiting for an opportune moment. And Carter was ready for whenever she decided that moment was.
He watched her out of the corner of his eye. She was petting her turtle. Her turtle that was now named Carter. And he was petting his turtle that was now named Destiny.
Ehh... It wouldn't be the weirdest thing that had happened to him. "Do you want to wear capes?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. Sharing floaties was one thing. But capes? Oh no. What if she wanted matching capes? One thing was for certain. The more he thought about the matching capes, the less he thought about a certain blonde snake named Caroline. "Okay..." he said not sure if he was liking the idea. He pointed his wand lazily in an upward and toward the castle direction. "Accio wool bombs." A bag came speeding out of the castle much quicker than he'd expected. He grunted slightly as the bag hit him in the stomach. He summoned that bag with a little more force then he intended to. "Now what?"

Man the sun was bright, even with his sunglasses on. Ivan held his hand above his head and tried to block the sun as he laid there with his feet in the water in just his swim trunks. Dropping his hand again he sighed and closed his eyes. His last term here this seemed like a fitting end. Lying here by himself soaking up the sun and trying to ignore everyone else playing in the water and such.

His last term here this seemed like a fitting end. Lying here by himself soaking up the sun and trying to ignore everyone else playing in the water and such. Wading through the water in her two piece and sunglasses, she spotted someone familiar on the beach completely dry 'cept for his feet. She thought he looked pretty good in his trunks, but he was definitely missing something.
Quietly she moved through the water over to where she spotted a pail in the sand, grabbing it she went back in and filled it. It was a small pail, but it held water anyway. Stepping over to him barely making a sound she threw the pail of water over him and giggling ran off down the beach.

Yeah Ivan was counting sheep's maybe he could fall asleep. He was just about there when he felt something cold and wet hit him and he sat up quickly. "What the hell?!" He looked around for the culprit who so rudely dumped water on him. He'd get them.
Was that his.... He squinted toward a figure running away and then stood up. "TJ?!" What was she thinking? He was so going to catch her. He took off after her weaving around the people in his way until he caught up to her and reached to wrap his arms around her. "Do you know how rude it is to do that?"

Running through people and dodging a first year just before she felt his arms wrap around her, she couldn't help squealing with laughter again. "Just thought you use a little cooling off." she teased.
Her eyes twinkling in laughter as she leaned back to look up at him. "Hmmm rude...to cool you off?" Biting back another giggle, she wondered what he would do in return.

So dumping a thing of cold water on a sleeping person is acceptable to you then huh?" Ivan asked with his arms still around her. He looked down at her and smirked. "Yes rude. Now how will I ever return the favour?" She was already wet so throwing her in the water wouldn't be as much of a punishment.
Hmm. He kissed her cheek and squeezed his arms around her waist in a hug. "You're just lucky I love you that's all," he said with a grin. Yup she was indeed.

"Thought it was time to wake up?" she asked stifling a giggle, her eyes sparkling even more in laughter. "Hmmmm a kiss would be work." she replied cheekily. He would dare would he? Well she was wet, so throwing her in wouldn't help, but he wouldn't try something and risk a professor catching them...right?
Feeling his kiss on her cheek, she grinned relaxing back against him. "I was gonna write mum and dad and maybe come with you for the summer, instead of going back home." she said softly. She was gonna surprise him on their way home but couldn't wait. She hoped it was welcome, if not, well she'd surprise him later that summer and just show up.

Ivan raised an eyebrow at her suggested punishment and laughed, "A kiss would be work...I need to remember that." He walked over to the edge of the water and sat down again with his FEET in the water. HMPH her ruining his relaxation time.
He looked over his shoulder at her and raised both of his eyebrows, "Coming with me?" Really? "Well I have to go to Russia a few times but.... Well are you sure you want to do that?" Her family seemed pretty close he didn't want to cause any issues there. They had seemed so happy to see her over Christmas break.

She really didn't want to sit on the sand, when the sand could go in places she really didn't care for it to go. "Be right back." she said before running over and grabbing it.
Laying the towel down next to him, she sat down on it. "Well...it'll be the last I see you until the earliest at Christmas." she replied quietly. "If I'd be in your way I don't have to really. I just thought it'd be nice to spend the last two months together, since we missed so much this term."
Tilting her head onto her shoulder she looked out over the water. "Next year is gonna be so long...'specially with the NEWT's at the end of the year."

And we both know I just can't handle that much," Ivan said with a smirk as he stared out at the water. He heard her run off and looked around. Alright. He could do this. Right? She was basically asking to live with him this summer. For more than a few days. Talk about commitment.
He watched her as she sat down next to him. "I..um...you won't be in the way no." He leaned back to lay on the sand and stared up at the sky. "Yeah it will be a long year." He turned his head toward her and took off his sun glasses. "I love you T.J. But anyone living for me longer than a few days is kind of an unprecedented thing for me right now."

Laughing lightly she shook her head at his comment about him not being able to handle that much work. Stretching out her legs in front of her as he spoke. She turned her head to look over at him seeing him looking back at her as well.
She hadn't meant that she'd...oh wow. Umm, how was she...
Turning pink she bit her lip trying to figure out how to explain. "I erm, wasn't exactly planning on staying with you. I wouldn't even consider...well not consider... I wouldn't expect someone to have to room and board me for two whole months."
Her eyes searching his, she shook her head again, "I don't know how I'd even feel moving in at this point. I kind of had a few ideas, but I erm..." She didn't want to push him or this. Maybe coming out there wasn't such a good idea.
Awkward...

She hadn't meant that she'd...oh wow. Umm, how was she...
Turning pink she bit her lip trying to figure out how to explain. "I erm, wasn't exactly planning on staying with you. I wouldn't even consider...well not consider... I wouldn't expect someone to have to room and board me for two whole months."
Her eyes searching his, she shook her head again, "I don't know how I'd even feel moving in at this point. I kind of had a few ideas, but I erm..." She didn't want to push him or this. Maybe coming out there wasn't such a good idea.
Awkward... Wait she wasn't planning on staying with him? Ivan propped himself up and looked at her, "Well then where were you planning on staying?" What had she been planning on renting a place in Diagon Alley? Or go back and forth between homes? How absurd.
Looking at her he moved closer practically on her towel. No need for everyone around to hear their conversation after all.

Looking at her he moved closer practically on her towel. No need for everyone around to hear their conversation after all. "Well honestly, since I'm now of age, I really should get a job of sorts." she replied making a slight face. "Really I can't depend on my father to pay for everything, and it would make much more sense to live near where I work."
Grinning at him as he moved closer, she leaned back propped up on one arm turning more towards him. "I was hoping to find a small flat right in London. I applied for a job when I was gone for the Easter holidays...at a muggle theatre."

Not many who would voluntarily go out and find a job without being forced to," he said with a smirk. Well he knew he wouldn't that was for sure.
Hearing what she said about a flat in London he pursed his lips thoughtfully. "Well, it just so happens that I have a, well, not so small flat in London," he said casually. "What kind of theatre? And doing what?"

And doing what?" Seeing his smirk at his question she shook her head "No, I might have to just do it whether he wants me to or not. He isn't keen on me getting a job, nor is mum."
Her eyes finding his again, she looked at him curiously, "I didn't know that, I thought it was just the estate you had." Shrugging inwardly, she wasn't sure she knew where he was going with that. "It's just a cinema, I get to man the counter." she replied with a laugh. "Free popcorn and pop whenever I want. I only work 3 days a week, but I thought maybe perhaps between working and your own stuff...we could well...meet up?"

That didn't make any sense. He wouldn't if he didn't have to that's for sure.
"Oh no we have a lot of properties. It was a hobby of my fathers at one point. Though mum bought the flat in London and the one in Russia because she refused to stay in the same rooms my father had. Memories I guess." He shrugged and leaned his head on his hand. "Anyway that wasn't my point. You can use it if you want. Rent free. No obligations and such. Wouldn't be exactly like we're living together though I do own it." Did that make sense? Hmm.
A cinema? Hmm interesting. "What a deal there. Free popcorn and soda. Lucky you," he teased.

Shrugging, she shook her head, "I suppose it sounds odd, but I just want to prove I can make it out there, ya know?" Wiggling her toes closer to the water, she scooted down a little towards it. "Prove it to him but also to myself. I guess."
Well that would work, wouldn't it? At least get her started, on being able to save up to eventually get a place of her own, once she decided on going on to do... "I'd like that." she said honestly. "And you'd have a reason to come check on me." She added nudging him gently with her side into his, winking. "I mean checking on the house and making sure it's still there."
"Yeah..." a smile flickering on her face. She was a little nervous about it all, but she hoped to be able to see him more if she wasn't at home. If she'd gone home for the summer who knew how often she could get away.

"But if that's what you want to do I'm all for it," he said with a smile.
Oh good she saw the brilliance of taking him up on his offer. He smirked and nudged her back, "Yeah make sure you haven't burned down the place," he teased.
Well that was one way to handle things. Let her live in his house but not live WITH him. He was definitely not ready for that step yet. No sir. He needed to take a look at the flat then before she got around to moving in. Hmmm. "So with you having a job if I leave for a few weeks you can't come with me?"
