( ` rummages through his things as the other speaks, looking for this cap and goggles; after he finds the items, he stands up grinning and heads towards the door, while quickly shrugging on a jacket and stuffing the two items in his pocket) Shall we? ( ` steps through the door, holding the it open for a few moments for the other male to pass) I suppose it’s a good day today. I wore my speedo under everything today. ( ` chuckles lightly) You must think I’m a total weirdo now, huh? ( ` jogs down the steps, quickly glancing at the other male) I’m sure a lot of other people wear their speedos around, right?

[ravharu]

{--` notices the other pulling out a pair of goggles, and he checks his own pockets, making sure his own are still in there. he nods and steps out the door, but glances back to the ravenclaw to ask;} how long does it take to get there? {--` hopes it's not too far away, as it'd add to the time spent away from it. eyebrows arch upwards at the confession, his heart taking a strange leap for a second} you wear your speedos underneath your uniform? {--` his minds hops off to how he's doing the exact same thing with his own} no.. i do that too. {--` it's logical if you think about it. really saves time} you're the first person i've met that does that too..

(’ He stops) Of course I’m joining (He turns round to face the other) And don’t worry, I’ll show you the sight, although if you don’t join the swim club I suppose you’ll never see it. (he smiles smugly, his pointy teeth showing)

[ravharu]

{--` he saw it coming - the other couldn't not join the team after all. he's not sure whether he'll even try to, what with races not being his kind of thing. rin has his decision on edge, though, and now it's tougher than before} do you want to race..? {--` asks, even though he knows the answer. racing was something he'd given up on a while ago. returning to it hadn't been an option to him before}

Mhm, just tickle it {` she said with a knowing smile, like watching a child opening up a present that she had wrapped up especially for them. Of course Haru was no kid and this was hardly a present, but she was excited to be able to show him something new} - {` his touch being the trigger, the pear giggled and transformed into a golden handle, protruding from where the piece of fruit had been sitting on the painting. seolhyun felt almost as if it was her first time too. she bit her lip in excitement and glanced from the handle to the boy to try to gauge his reaction} So, right, that’s how you get in, you know, for future reference {` she said sweetly, stepping over the frame and down into the kitchens. the elves were busy, majority of them cleaning up after preparations for dinner} it’s really kind of.. a huge place. {` she said in awe. it never failed to amaze her every time she came in}

[ravharu]

{--` the whole idea of having to 'tickle' a painting was completely foreign to haruka. fair enough -- he had been living in a different continent for the majority of his life so he wasn't used to magic being put in practice. every day at hogwarts could amaze him. he snapped his hand back once the thing began to transform, shoulders scrunching up in surprise} it's supposed to do that? {--` looks back up at the other, expecting confirmation before touching it. he nodded and took a moment to step in after the girl. looking at the rest of the elves, he felt out of place -- he was never one for being busy, never one to rush around or rush things} this is bigger than the pool.. {--` doesn't know what to focus on, what with all of the elves working on numerous tasks} who do we ask for help?

( ` his grin grows wider—if it were even possible—and he lightly nudges the other male’s shoulder with his own) Cool, I’m in the seventh year dorms too. We’ll be like, I dunno, dorm and pool buddies. ( ` chuckles lightly as he makes his way up the steps, balancing on one foot to kick the door of the dorm room open. he walks towards the empty bed besides his and puts down the things he is carrying on the trunk in front of it) I sleep right there. ( ` points to his bed and takes a seat) I’ll be ready really quick, so you should dig through your stuff for a jacket so we can go.

[ravharu]

{--` his excitement dies down a notch at the bump of their shoulders, unused to being so close to people he doesn't know well} ..dorm and pool buddies? {--` it doesn't sound too bad, but at the same time he's not sure how it could benefit him to have a 'buddy' for the pool. surely it'd mean that he'd have less alone-time with the water. he follows after the other ravenclaw, taking in the sights of the dorm he'd be staying in for the next year} so this is my bed? {--` points to where the other had made himself at home} i don't need a jacket for swimming. {--` states, but moves closer to open up his suitcase, then picking out his old school's swim team's jacket; it was placed right on the top} i don't need a lot of time to get ready either. {--` shrugs on the jacket and waits for the other, aiming to waste no time}

[ravharu]

[ `/ stares at you before quipping ] if i buy you a lake, would you be my merman? [ `/ asks seriously as possible, though his twinkling eyes give it away that he's flirting ]

{--` stares back, his interest being caught at the mention of a pool} you want to buy me a pool? {--` ignores the latter part of the question} how big are we talking?

[fencer-x]

So I heard you wanted a subbed, HQ FrFr! video…? Done by yours truly, so no promises XD

I realize some of you might be in dire need of this

[ravharu]

[/ he raises an eyebrow] So are you gay or watersexual or what..?

{--` keeps a steady gaze on the boy who appeared in front of him} watersexual..? {--` waits for a second, but still doesn't understand what the other is getting at} what is that?

[aih-yearbook]

( c ) i ship both haru and jongsuk with water. threesome please.

uh, well… ( ` cocks his head slightly to one side, his teeth working on his lower lip) The prefects bath isn’t too deep of a bath. The one time I went I ended up… not swimming. ( ` his lips curve up into a grin, thinking of his last encounter with a certain gryffindor in the bath) Yeah, yeah. I’ll take you to the lake, but let’s get you settle first and get bundled up. It’s pretty damn cold outside.

[ravharu]

{--` waits patiently for the other to elaborate, then frowns afterwards} not swimming? is it not deep enough? {--` the implied explanation passes straight over his head, too innocent to understand it -- not that he'd even consider having sex in water; it would be insulting to the water gods} you will? {--` starts with a gasp, excitement coming to him. he refrains from groaning when the other boy decides that after is the better time, though he nods once, reluctantly turning away from the window} i'm in the seventh year dorms. {--` points out bluntly, hoping to speed the whole thing along so he can get to the place he'd rather be}

{` she scrambles to her feet as he gets up, eager now to be able to help him} Sure! We can go to the kitchens and the elves could probably whip up something for you to try! they are really helpful and kind {` she assured him, already heading towards the hall that she knew the kitchens were off of.} Just watch, the way you get into the kitchens is really cool too {` she gushed with excitement, her feet flitting across the floors at record speed to reach the portrait of the fruit bow. she glanced back at him to be sure that he was keeping up and watching} Now {` she began when he was beside her} You just have to reach out and tickle the pear. and a door handle will appear. {` she gently reached for his arm to lift it} Go on, try!

[ravharu]

{--` her eagerness is easy to pick up on, but he doesn't show that it affects him; instead brushes off his robes. he looks up at her with raised eyebrows} they can make anything? {--` follows with a nod, curiosity coming to mind} the.. way to get there? {--` fastens his pace to keep up with the girl, stopping in front of a rather large painting of some fruit. confused, he looks over to the other, getting even more so when she reaches out for him. he pulls away for a second but lets her guide him anyway} tickle the pear? why tickle it? {--` reaches out his fingers to tap his fingers along the curved lines of the pear, it feeling strange under his fingertips as he waits for the magic to happen}

(’ He stops and turns around, very evidently angry with teeth showing and shouts) Listen if I say it was just a passing thought it was just a passing thought. (gets up close to Haru’s face and quietens his voice) and nothing more, okay?(He storms off yet again)

[ravharu]

{--` can't help a smile coming to his lips at the other's anger - admitting to himself that he missed this - though he nods as the other invades his personal space} are you gonna join, rin? {--` asks, minus the hopefulness that he really felt. he waits while the other storms off, waiting for the slytherin boy to turn around again} you still have to show me that 'sight'-- {--` calls after, trying to provoke him}

haru is so dumb why would the gills be on his face they’d be on his neck

(’ he begins to act defensively, over- dramatizing the whole affair) I was just asking idiot. It doesn’t matter to me whether you join or not, it was just a passing thought… GOT IT? (he storms off down the hallway’)

[ravharu]

{--` waits until the other begins turning before he talks and he moves forwards to steadily catch up with the other} but that means that you were thinking about it. {--` looks up to the other once they're in step} and that means that you were thinking about me. you were thinking about me, weren't you?

sayonato mister! haru ✕ mina

{* // claps when he says the word } yes, that’s it! oh, poo, i knew i messed up the wording. {* // slips on a small frown before allowing it to drop just as fast } oh … oh, {* // shakes her head furiously, hands waving as if to say that she definitely didn’t mean to say goodbye to him } i did— i, oh. kon-ee-hi-wah? {* // blinks, slowly sounding out each of the syllables carefully, not really the best when it comes to speaking other languages except for english and french } mm, {* // beams when the other smiles at her }

[ravharu]

{--` blinks at the clap, her enthusiasm being a lot louder than he'd expected of anyone} ..the wording? {--` refrains from pointing out that it was only one word in the first place, but he doesn't want to spoil whatever fun she seems to be having. he bows his head quickly in understanding. her pronunciation isn't the best (nor does he think her japanese is even second best) and it almost makes him smile again, just tugging at the sides of his mouth} no. {--` says patiently} kon-ee-chi-wah. {--` spells out in syllables, not doubting his own teaching ability at all}

it is really really good {` she said honestly. she felt a bit guilty that he had shared the last of his favorite food with her, but she felt positive that they would be able to find some more if he really needed it} yeah it’s not so hard.. well i’ve never done it but you basically make a hole in the ice with your wand and then put the fishing line in. or maybe you can even summon them out! {` she gasped, the idea coming suddenly to her} i bet you could do that! {` she exclaimed, waving a wandless hand in the air as if it held her wand} accio mackerel! like that, i bet they would come as long as there was a hole in the ice for them to get out of {` she nods} of course i can show it to you. are you busy now? we could go now. and see what the elves have made for the students today!

[ravharu]

{--` smiles a bit more confidently, feeling more comfortable as she states her opinion. it fades when she begins explaining, when his interest is captured again. he would probably gasp too if he could be bothered, but he nods slowly, running through the plausible ideas that spring to mind} i could.. {--` thinks aloud, albeit to himself, until his eyes are drawn up towards her actions} it's a good idea. {--` says while looking her in the eye for a change} we should do it. {--` gets up at the question and picks his lunchbox up in one hand, turning to her afterwards} no, i'm not. are you taking me to the kitchens?

[ravharu]

{` she gives him a thumbs up, showing that it was, in fact, good, even if it wasn’t something that she usually ate. she really didn’t mind the flavor, though when he alluded to the fact that this was all that he ate, she coughed, a few bits of mackerel going down the wrong way} You- you only eat mackerel? {` she asked, doing her best to keep her voice straight so that he didn’t wrongly think that she was judging him, she was just surprised} Really only mackerel? Well, I think you can get some in the lake, but I don’t recommend swimming for them. Um.. maybe you now how to ice fish? {` she really didn’t like the thought of him out there on the lake, though. ice was tricky and could betray you to the depths} but, you now, the school food here is really great and.. and sometimes they serve many different kinds of fish.

[ravharu]

{--` smiles a teensy bit wider, accompanying it with a shallow nod} it's better than anything else you've ever had, isn't it? {--` ceases smiling to watch her, the concern not showing on his face. he tilts his head to the left} hmm, no. but maybe i should.. {--` looks back down to the near remains of his favourite food} no other snacks are as good. {--` shifts his attention back to the female ravenclaw} in the lake? {--` asks, interest piqued} in hogwarts' lake? {--` stops to think} no.. but i can learn. {--` pops the last piece of mackerel into his mouth} you should show me where that is. then i can see what they serve.
