I think I need a quick swim.

[albuspottah]

  Yeah, yeah, whatever you think necessary. For me, coffee would do.

[nate-fg-blog]

Well you know what they say. Nothing wakes you up like swimming in just-above-subzero water.

[nate-fg-blog]

I think I need a quick swim.

[albuspottah]

Oho, yes. I forgot I was speaking to a brainy.

[nate-fg-blog]

Mhmmm. Yes. And besides. I also need the cold. It would help me wake up.

[nate-fg-blog]

I think I need a quick swim.

[demi-rhodes-blog]

Sounds good to me! When should I meet you?

[nate-fg-blog]

As soon as you get ready, of course.

[nate-fg-blog]

I think I need a quick swim.

[albuspottah]

I hope you can perform the warming spell well, then.

[nate-fg-blog]

The warming spell's the least of my worries.

[nate-fg-blog]

I think I need a quick swim.

[demi-rhodes-blog]

I’m glad! Thank you! When are we going? I have lots of free time.

[nate-fg-blog]

How about after the next Quidditch practice?

[misty-wood-deactivated20130318]

Nate,

[misty-wood-deactivated20130318]

Yeah, I mean, I guess I would. I’m not so certain as to why you suddenly care about how well the Slytherin Quidditch team is being treated.

Hexing second years,slipping potions into teachers’ drinks, you know, the normal. I’ve tried to reason with him, but he just gets real angry. Compromising, like how?

[nate-fg-blog]

I don't care about how the your how team's being treated. But I do care about you.

Oh so you're admitting you've been digging your own grave. Tsk tsk. Like promising him something. Higher grades. Make a deal he can't refuse.  

[misty-wood-deactivated20130318]

Nate,

[nate-fg-blog]

Oh. You could have mentioned that earlier. What? Zabini giving you a hard time? And surely.. that’s just that. A threat. I mean come on. He can’t be serious.

[misty-wood-deactivated20130318]

Nah,not really. I mean, sure he’s a tough captain, but he’s a good one at that. He’s been working us to the bone lately. 

Eh… I don’t think it’s just a threat. I’ve been getting into some deep trouble with McGonagall lately, and my dad doesn’t want me to taint the Wood name.

[nate-fg-blog]

Oh. Okay. You would tell me when he steps out of line though, right?

What kind of trouble are we talking about exactly? Then... can't you try to talk some sense into him? Or compromise a deal maybe?

[nate-fg-blog]

I think I need a quick swim.

[liisa-land-blog]

  Words to live by.

And it’s normally very cool where I come from, so most of the year the water is freezing.

I did get really sick from swimming in cold water once, but I was about five or something. 

[nate-fg-blog]

Caught my drift then? Anyway, I really need a cool splash on my body. even if it is still February.

Well at least now you know better.

[misty-wood-deactivated20130318]

Nate,

Practice has been strenuous lately… and it doesn’t help that my dad is threatening to take me out of Hogwarts.

[nate-fg-blog]

Oh. You could have mentioned that earlier. What? Zabini giving you a hard time? And surely.. that's just that. A threat. I mean come on. He can't be serious.

[nate-fg-blog]

I think I need a quick swim.

[rose-weasleyrp-deactivated20130]

  I’m positive.

[nate-fg-blog]

Bet you a hundred galleons some people would love to disagree with you.

[nate-fg-blog]

I think I need a quick swim.

[marcuszabini]

  Not so much envy as horror.

[nate-fg-blog]

You have a creepy way of coming to me, you know that, Marcus? If you like me just say it.

[nate-fg-blog]

I think I need a quick swim.

[demi-rhodes-blog]

  Oh I love swimming! May I join you, Nate?

[nate-fg-blog]

Well of course, Demi.

[nate-fg-blog]

I think I need a quick swim.

[liisa-land-blog]

I understand that. People say I’m crazy because I like swimming in the winter, but it has such a way of clearing my thoughts.

[nate-fg-blog]

Fuck what they think right? The colder the water, the more I love swimming really. Not to the point of acquiring hypothermia of course but....

[nate-fg-blog]

I think I need a quick swim.

[rose-weasleyrp-deactivated20130]

No!

I’m looking at you because you’re stripping your shirt off — a sight no one wants to see, Nate.

[nate-fg-blog]

No one wants to see? Really? Are you sure?

[nate-fg-blog]

I think I need a quick swim.

[marcuszabini]

Please refrain from stripping until you are far away from my poor eyes. I don’t want to have to think about things like this Nate.

[nate-fg-blog]

Can't bear the envy? Awww. Gladly.

[nate-fg-blog]

I think I need a quick swim.

[rose-weasleyrp-deactivated20130]

[nate-fg-blog]

What? I don't believe you're looking at me because you want to join now, do you?

[nate-fg-blog]

I think I need a quick swim.

My mind's still in a fog after the weekdays. And ughhh,
