Default The Boathouse


Banner credit: hermionesclone


Every September 1st, the first years arrive at Hogwarts by boats that carry them across the Great Lake to the Boathouse. Apart from the entrance from the Lake through the long tunnel underneath the castle, this underground harbour can also be reached from the Boathouse Steps which leads down the side of the cliff on which the castle sits and from the path leading down from the paved courtyard.

The Boathouse store the boats for the arriving first years and departing seventh years but with permission from Mr. Baldvinsson, you may be permitted to use one of the boats for an afternoon or two. Life vests, oars, fishing tools, nets and everything else you might need are either hanging on hooks or nails on the wall or lying on the wooden bench.

Please put everything back in its proper place, should you move stuff around. The Groundskeeper will know if you haven’t.

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

Carrying his personal fishing equipment, Dorian made his way towards the boathouse for some fishing on the Lake. He could have been there fifteen minutes ago but yet again, his knack for getting lost played in and somehow he had ended up in the owlery before he came here. But he was here now and that was what counted!

It wouldn't hurt anyone if he took a boat to fish right? Dorian placed his fishing equipment against the wall for a moment and looked around. He saw some life Vests in a box nearby and although he could swim, he knew what kind of creatures lived under water and he wanted to be able to stay above water if he fell in. With his vest on now, he pushed at the boat but it didn't budge at all. Great, he needed help with this. He looked towards the steps hoping that someone would come soon.

Kimi saw Dorian trying to move a boat and said "Hey Dorian, you trying to go fishing?" Kimi had his fishing equipment as well and he was glad that there was somebody else at Hogwarts who liked fishing

1 of 4 Amigos Don't underestimate me!

Reese had decided to take a walk this afternoon around the grounds and found himself down by the lake near the boathouse.. Today was far different than most. Usually, he could be found with one of best friends.. One of which was his older sister, but today he was on his own.. Rylee was off doing whatever it was that she had decided to do and Merlin only knew where Schmebster and Bethlebee were.. He was a lone badger with nothing to do.. He had already finished his assignments and he didn't feel like going down to the potions lab just yet, so here he was.. All alone in the boathouse... What did someone even do in here?.. Meh.

"I am" he said as Kimi walked inside of the boathouse. He saw that he was holding fishing equipment as well. Now that he thought about it, he had never seen anyone else who fished. But maybe that was because Kimi was three years older than him and their classes didn't add up all the time.

"But i can't get this stupid boat loose" he pushed on it again but to no avail "Help me out here?" he asked as he pointed at the boat.

Kimi put his fishing equipment down and said "Sure I will give you hand to get the boat loose Dorian" Kimi was glad that there was at least one other student at Hogwarts who seemed to like fishing and he was glad about that

Default Flying long term assignment reflections post
| Ravenpuff | Part Ninja | Boat Rocker | Exhausted Pigeon |

With her final goal completed, she only needed to finish off her reflections part of her notebook. It had been a few days since her successful loop over the pitch and she was finally ready to write about it. After finding a nice quiet place to work, she pulled out her flying notebook and began.

Quote:
Emmalyn Walsh
Hufflepuff Second Year


Major goal: Be able to do a full inverted loop over the pitch on my broom.

Minor goal 1: Increase flying speed. Be able to cut at least 2 seconds off my cross pitch flying time.

Minor goal 2: Be able to hang on and fly upside down across the pitch.

Minor goal 3: Increase arm strength.

Month 1: Run sprints and work on push-ups and pull-ups. Try to take 1 second off sprint time by the end of the month. Add 10 reps to push-ups and pull-ups each week.

Month 2: Continue running sprints and add in flying sprints. Improve by at least 1 second by the end of the month. Add triceps dips increasing by 10 reps each week.

Month 3: Continue flying sprints and add inverted sprints. Improve flight time by at least 1 second by end of month.

Month 4: Maintain flying sprints or improve. Start loop attempts over cushioned pitch.

Month 5: Work on meeting all goals not yet accomplished and do inverted loop over pitch.

Reflections:
It was a lot harder to keep up with training for my major goal than I thought it would be. I hadn’t ever planned a goal out that far in advance before, so maybe I’ll make more small goals to build to the big one next time. I did enjoy working with Derf on building muscles and increasing flying speed. I think I will team up with an older student next time I try something like this. I could also pair up with a younger student next year to help them. I think that would be a lot of fun. Have a little flying buddy or something like that.
I am pleased with how well things went when I tried my major goal. I didn’t fall off my broom and I was able to hang on for the loop. I had tried the same maneuver multiple times last summer at quidditch came and I wasn’t able to completed it any of those time, so I call doing it a huge success. I did, however throw up all over the pitch (sorry professor). Maybe I can work some sort of training in for my stomach next time.

After the last words were written, Emmalyn gently blew on the ink to set it before closing her notebook. It had been a fast few months and she felt a little sad that it was all over. She would have to thank the professor for having them do the assignment. Her mind was set against it at the beginning, but it had turned out to be one of the best projects of the year.

A pair of pale hands eerily clambered onto the rock, hoisting up the remainder of the skeletal humanoid figure that was attached. It wasn’t alone. After the leader of the pack was standing in the moonlight, more hands and bodies emerged, causing the water to ripple in all directions. Water dripped from their bones and tattered clothing onto the ground as they all assembled beside the boathouse.

Once the troop were all out of the water, everything was silent. Being on the opposite side of the grounds, there were no humans present or fire being casted to keep them away. Their cloudy white eyes were all focused on one spot.

At once they started moving forward. Some took the stone steps up, others decided to climb the rocky side of the cliff. Their bodies, though many were crawling, moved swiftly and quietly.

They were an unstoppable force, all moving in unison, all heading toward the main entrance of the castle.
