The Black Lake

[Caithre]

first year - - - - with Desmond Isla and Clara - - - - nervous

Lizzy was all business as she stepped off the train and followed after Professor Murdock away from Hogsmead and the platform. Though the walk didn't seem to take too long, she could already feel her hert pounding in her chest as she glanced from student to student. Everyone already seemed to know everyone else, or were quickly getting to know them. Quickly feeling overwhelmed, Lizzy focused on watching the professor as they walked along the shore to where a bunch of boats were all packed in together.

Indecisive as she was, it look Lizzy too long to decide which boat she should jump in, and, suddenly afraid of getting left behind, she headed for the nearest one. A boy had jumped into it already, with a couple of girls following after him. One of the girls asked if she could join in, but Lizzy moved around her, climbing into the boat anyway.

She gave the boy a look, raising an eyebrow at him, "Look. It's not like there's many spots yet, and we already know we're going to have to share. Just sit in the front if you don't like it."

The boy had apologized to her, but Beckah had already forgot what the boy was apologizing for. As they came to the Lake, she smiled huge. It was so awesome! She couldn't see anything to propel the boats so she figured it was magic, which was awesome! The girl looked around for a second, then heard the Professor say four to a boat. That wouldn't be hard, she sought out and immediately found Roo, taking his hand in hers. "Can I ride with you and Flick?" she asked sweetly. Roo and Flick had helped her and she'd never forget their kindness. To her, they were her forever friends, like Lily and Arnie from back home. She smiled happily, her eyes blue eyes shining with exuberance.

You can fake that smile
For a hollow while
But the kids all learn
Once those bridges burn


Flick held her tongue until the adult man had turned her back and then rolled her eyes viciously. She was not apologizing to the t**t waffle. No way no way. He didn't deserve an apology. He was an idiot and idiots didn't get apologies for being idiots. That was catering to the lowest denominator! That was just asking for humanity to be ruined! What happened to survival of the fittest? She could feel her mind flying off on a tangent and she wasn't sure how to bring it back. She blinked and rubbed her eyes, but it wasn't doing anything, so she just wrapped one hand around Roo's sleeve and followed behind him almost blindly as they headed towards the boats.


Because survival of the fittest didn't always mean her. She wasn't always fit, and her brain liked to play tricks with her and confuse her and make the world seem way more complicated than it was supposed to be. So survival of the fittest wasn't really including her but it included her before it included the dumb-witted sphincter bomb. Yes... yes it definitely included her before him. She was more fit to survive than him. Right? Right? She blinked a couple more times, and tried to focus on anything.


The sound of the girl... Beckah's voice brought her back around a little. She nodded her head, keeping her stern look in place. She didn't need anyone to know the confusion that clouded her mind. It was all in her head after all. Not real. Just tricks her brain liked to play on her. Just tricks.... "Yeah boat together. Sounds good." She muttered, before quietly climbing into an empty boat and offering a stabling hand to Beckah and Roo. Because maybe they weren't fit to survive by Darwin's rules.... but she wasn't one to give up just because someone else told her so. Rules were stupid and she was alive even if her brain liked to play tricks on her.



And don't be surprised
If they don't buy your lies
Some of us can see through
Your stained glass eyes




xxxThe s**t gets thicker.... It's toxic

Valentin got into one of the boats, a stupid grin on his face. He loved this sort of thing. He only wished they could go swimming. He had heard from his parents that there were merpeople in the black water, and this was confirmed to him when he saw a while away a splash and glimmer of scales underwater. He was so excited he could barely breathe. He had always been curious about several things his parents had told him about Hogwarts and the merpeople and the giant squid were near the top of the list. He sat in the boat contentedly as it moved serenely across the water, not really talking to the first years in his boat unless they spoke first. He dipped his hand in the water and watched with a smile as the ripples trailed away from his fingers.

"Confidence is to believe in yourself..."

"Well...that certainly is a good thing," he said quickly, before moving his eyes back to the professor that had been dealing with whatever the situation was. It seemed that the professor had dealt with situation quickly and very well. Good...it was about time that the students move back on to their schedule. He felt it incredibly bothersome to have to sit there and halt their progress because one person just decided they up and wanted to cry. And judging by the professors reaction...no one got punched in the face which made him wonder further what could've possibly happened to make a girl cry already. Wasn't the first steps toward Hogwarts supposed to be a happy experience. But...he kept his eyes on the road to Hogwarts. The professor had said boats...so they had to have been crossing a body of water. Which body of water they would be crossing still was unbeknownst to him. But...he loved the water...so surely it would be enjoyable.

The professor waved the students onward...to which he figured he would tell Kiera more about Germany on the way towards the boats. Many people loved to hear about the wonders of Germany, but he never could quite portray what those wonderful sights were because Germany was his home and he saw it quite a few times. But, he could definitely explain a little bit about Munich. "I personally love Germany...and I prefer it to England immensely. Since I lived in South Germany, the weather is much nicer. Although, the winters are just as harsh as any countries either. But it doesn't rain nearly as much there as it does in England. It seems like it is raining here more than it is sunny sometimes," he said to her, shrugging his shoulders. The weather was much nicer in South Germany, but that didn't mean that it wasn't just as bad at times. Monsoons were monsoons...and thunderstorms were thunderstorms...all could prove to be one in the same whether he was in Germany or the UK. "Schooling seems the similar when talking about the wizarding community. Munich is full of historical landmarks similar in prominence to that of those in England. It isn't all that different to be honest. Well, besides culture at least. We eat, drink, and do different things during the day. I do recommend visiting Germany when you can though." He kept moving along with the professor, great pace in his step.

When they got to the boats...he looked around. The sun had receded behind the horizon and the moon began to rise fully. It was a nice, starry night out. Truly a sight to behold, but now was not the time to marvel at what he could see most nights. He had done as he was instructed lazily, getting up onto the boat and awaiting Keira to do so as well. He took the lantern in his hands...and awaited the boats to start moving. He personally didn't care if anyone decided they wanted to join them. Whether or not he felt like talking was a different story. "You excited?" he asked calmly to Kiera. She generally looked more excited about all of this when he first saw her than he was. So...maybe that excitement still lingered?

"When no one else does"

spaceRuaridh just wanted to be there already. He'd gotten caught trying to sneak off, big whoop, but now he was stuck with this crowd of other kids that he knew he wasn't going to like, and none of them were going to like him, either. Year hadn't even started yet and he already had one girl who couldn't stand him, which was fine by him because the only thing worse than an idiot was an idiot who couldn't admit they were an idiot and instead thought other, smarter people, were the idiots. When his uncle told them that they had to sit four to a boat, he glared, and briefly considered climbing into the boat Cal was standing in, just because he figured that would make the other kids stay away. But, he'd seen his uncle handling some stupid altercation earlier, and figured that he'd be the sort of guy to worry about the idiots and make them sit with him. So, instead, he climbed into one of the still-empty boats, crossing his arms and staring straight ahead, at the castle. He didn't know who'd be dumb enough to climb into the boat with him, but they'd better leave him the hell alone. He wasn't some snooty rich kid like they all were, and he didn't have time for them to suddenly realize he didn't belong there and start mocking him. He'd punch them out of the damn boat if he had to... And get expelled, but whatever.

Clara was at first caught off-guard for a second when Isla took her hand and followed the big guy, who apparently was named Mr. Murdoch. She didn't think he was that intimidating, no; she thought she had probably met much worse people for her standards of intimidation to accelerate to the high levels. She wasn't used about holding people's hands, especially when she just met them, as she usually waited for that certain level of friendship where she was allowed to do stuff like that to people. She decided to let that thought go, though, since it was probably no big deal.

When being asked if she was expecting someone, she nodded, "Yeah, kinda sorta. I met someone named Skylar this recent summer, and she's really nice. She's my cousin's boss' son's bestfriend, but alas, we still did not found each other." If only if she realized that maybe blonde people were hard to pinpoint in the crowd, or maybe if only she didn't bump someone, she would have found her. "But that's no biggie, I'm sure I'll find her in Hogwarts. But overall, sure, I can come along." She went with Isla and decided to pick a boat with a girl and a boy. Well, it full now, but at least she didn't have to deal with that one boy.

The big lake loomed before them and Beckah was more than excited to take the trip across it. She smiled when Roo and Flick allowed her into the boat. She accepted their help and climbed into the boat, eagerly waiting for them to start going. Looking over the edge of the boat, she said, "The water is so dark! I want to swim in it!" She leaned over the egde, putting her hand into the water. It was cold! She retracted her hand and put it to the swelling on the side of her face. The cold sensation made her giggle. She smiled at the two others and nodded. So far, this was a good trip, minus the freak out.

Desmond couldn't help it. Excitement was in the air tonight and eventually he too began to feel the butterflies in his stomach and an eagerness to get to the castle. After he got into his boat, a girl came up with a friend in tow. They wanted to get into his boat. "Uh... Sure... I guess... I'm not with anyone...." His stuttering was becoming less and less a thing as the excitement began to overtake everything he was feeling. Maybe that was some kind of magic as well? Who knows. Desmond let the girls take the seats opposite of him, leaving the one next to him vacant. A little piece of him hoped it would remain so, but as fate would have it, it would soon be filled. Another girl walked up, and he had no reason to deny her. He allowed her to take the seat next to him. Well, his boat was full. There was no denying that. Holding the lantern high, he sort of waved it around signalling that his boat was full and they were ready to go whenever the professor was. Bringing the lantern back down, a simple question was posed. Desmond simply thought he was thinking it, however he did indeed verbalize the question to the group. "How are we supposed to move if there are no oars?"

Keira followed Sterling to the boats, glad the commotion seemed to be over but not really knowing what had happened. She listened to him talk about Germany and it did sound very nice, but not somewhere she would choose to go early in her world travels if it was as similar to Germany as he said it was. Still, it did sound interesting, and she was always interested in the idea of exploring new places. "Well, I will definitely have to go one day," she said. As they got into the boats, Keira smiled and looked down at the sparkling black water. It was beautiful, and it reminded her of the lake that her family's manor stood next to. Both lakes seemed to have merpeople, though she supposed the lake by her home probably had less. She looked back up at Sterling when he asked her a question and she nodded enthusiastically.
"I'm ecstatic. I can't wait to start classes and learn how to do magic. I'm especially eager to learn transfiguration and charms. What about you?"

Sitting down in the boat carefully, wary of the water, she rolled her eyes. She didn't want to fall in - she couldn't swim and who knows what would grab her? "Probably magic..." she muttered, nibbling her lower lip and looking over the boat. "I mean, we're going to a magic school with a magic train and magic wands, it isn't quite a stretch to assume the boats run on magic as well. The school can't possibly expect 11 year olds to know how to properly steer a boat, could it?"

Honestly, she was starting to feel a twinge of nervousness hit her stomach. She was feeling queasy, and didn't really know what to expect. Of course, she knew the basics, but she was still quite panicky inside. But she didn't want to make it apparent, she didn't want anyone to think she was too weak willed or stupid to be here. Her mother was paying quite a sum of money for this and she didn't want to leave.

"Am I the only uh... they call it... halfblood. Am I one of the only ones, or are there more?" She directed the question to the only boy in their boat, keeping her stare unwavering. She wanted an answer to the question, and now.

spaceCal watched all of the first years as they made their way into the boats.On the trip to the lake, he'd noticed a few students here or there he thought might have issues, and he wanted to be sure that, if necessary, he helped them. But, everyone managed to get in the boats safely, to his relief. Glad to see that everyone had made it in more or less unscathed, though there had been a lot of tripping, he boarded one of the boats as well, then called out again for their attention.

space"Alright, everyone! Get settled in, we're about to move." When the first years stopped moving about so much, he settled himself in and tapped the wood of the boat he'd boarded, causing the entire fleet to begin moving slowly across the lake. "As we move, be still, be careful, and don't try any funny business. Get a good look at the castle, maybe try to see if you can see anything interesting in the lake, but do not do anything that might cause your boat to tip over or someone to fall out." This time, there was no attempt at sounding kind; he wanted the student to know better than to try anything. And he certainly didn't want anyone falling into the lake. He'd been doing well enough at the job, he didn't want to ruin it by having to show up at the Great Hall with some poor child freezing and soaked to the bones.

"Magic..." Desmond said aloud, seemingly un-bothered that the girl answered the question he posed in his mind (or so he thought). "I guess you're right... I don't really know much about this place anyways." Letting out a sigh, Desmond brought his lantern over the boat's edge and took a look into the water below. Even though it was dark, the lantern lit beneath the boat with ease. "Amazing..." He muttered as he felt a jerk in the boat and snapped his attention back to the professor. It was time for the journey across the lake to begin. As the trip started the professor warned against falling out of the boats. 'He won't have to worry about me... As long as I have this lantern I'm good...' Desmond's fear of the dark was beginning to catch up with him. He hadn't noticed how dark it was outside. The reality of it all was beginning to set in just as the girl, Isla, posed a question to which he didn't have an answer. "I'm not sure. I don't even know how I get to come here. A few months ago, magic wasn't real to me... Now it is. It's hard to explain..." Desmond rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "I'm Desmond by the way... I forgot my manners... Sorry." He said, sheepishly as he waited for a response.
