Summer Camp The Lake Party Closed

Mentioning: @Hjørdis Jensen
Marcus made his way down by the lakeside with a plate of food in hand. By special request, he had prepared one Hjørdis Jensen some sustenance that was a bit more substantial than the snacks and other goodies of the lake party's picnicking area. The man was sporting a Hawaiian shirt and a pep in his step that was probably a bit foreign to the students that were used to seeing him in a suit-tie combination. A couple of days ago when tending the food truck at the annual barbecue, he had also been wearing a different Hawaiian shirt, so maybe the people who saw him now wouldn't be as shocked.

The Head of Ravenclaw had decided that he would focus on having a relaxing summer. Although he was here at camp to help with chaperoning, he would let the kids hash out their problems as needed and really only intervene when it was clear they could not peacefully resolve conflict on their own. Basically, watch them fight from afar and just make sure they don't kill each other. The rest of his time would be spent enjoying his break from the paperwork and the otherwise exhausting task of looking after the children during school.

Marcus delivered a plate of several tacos and a side of halloumi (enough for both her and the groundskeeper, if she chose to share) to the Head of Slytherin, wishing her luck in monitoring the children. "I'll take over your shift in a couple hours if you get tired," he also offered, glancing out at the lake where there were already a bunch of kids splashing around and having fun. He knew that the groundskeeper was also helping keep an eye on the kids, but with how the event was growing, they definitely needed the multiple pairs of eyes.

As he started heading back - intending to return to the food truck and cook something for himself - he was stopped by a familiar voice in the shade nearby. His amber eyes landed on Maya Galim - sporting a swimsuit and looking very summery. He offered a slight smile at the sight of his colleague, pausing to hear what she had to say.
Marcus' Intimidation is in effect.
It is a sentiment that enters people's hearts when they are in your presence. They feel dis-ease when you are present, even if the interaction is casual or even friendly.

The soon to be fifth year was excited for the meet up at the lake and as soon as he had good sight on the lake water, he would start speeding up; Tiger who had been with him would follow suit, unafraid of what was to come. The teenage boy, as the water came close, would jump of and draw in his knees as he lightly hugged them close. He had made sure that no one would be in his way as he jumped, so he sank through the water and gave a few kicks to resurface, cheering lightly as he made it back. He would shake his head as his hair would spray excess water around.

Taking a look around he would find Tiger paddling closer who had apparently decided to follow him into the lake, making the Gryffindor grin at his brave kitten. The boy still hadn't become the best swimmer but he had improved by a lot over the year and time spent at the sea the previous year. He now would no longer seem like a kitten staying afloat in a sorry attempt to reach the shore; well unless that kitten was Tiger who enjoyed any sort of water fun of course. He would rake his hand through his tousled up hair to make it stay out of his face, before he flicked a little bit of water at the Bengal cat, who tried to catch it like a bug in the air, making the boy snicker lightly before trailing his eyes over the proximity of the lake in order to scan it for familiar faces.

Though he couldn't help a slight feeling of uneasiness that seemed to have a grip on his heart. He felt it resonate from the closeby head of house, though the boy had no way of knowing how to sort it in. He was however no one to judge him based on this impression and wanted to scold himself for the slight unease and discomfort that he felt was misplaced and illogical as he barely knew the man.
Calming Presence in effect, for everyone

August 3rd 2021
Early Afternoon
At Great Lake
It feels like only yesterday Cash and a bunch others (either they went to Hogwarts or any other magical schools) arrived at this year Summer Camp. The green eyes loved Summer since they are Summer kid (Cash was born on July 5th). But even though they love Summer; if someone asked the green eyes their favorite season out of the four, the Cuban descendant will definitely say Winter.

Today activities run smoothly although the Summer heat that beating down on them gave no mercy as the sun is set all time high up in the sky. But Cash heard about this year Lake Party and Cash could not stay away from any kind of water. If they were a Muggle, Cash definitely aspire to be a Olympic Swimmer.

Cash just loved water ever since they were a little kid. So, after lunch was over; Cash headed back to their cabin. They opened up their trunk to looked for their swimsuit and the crop top that they decided to wear to the Lake Party. After they found it, they grab their towel and marched toward where the washroom to change into their swimsuit.

The idea of communal washroom did not sit well for the young Ironwoods but they pushed aside their discomforted since they want to enjoy this whole month of Summer Camp filled with fun . Soon later, the green eyes come out from one of the washroom stalls. Donning maroon crop top to cover the half of their swimsuit.

At the bottom of Cash's maroon crop top there's a criss - crossed designed that read 'I Do Not Seek, I Find'. Cash took a fast stride toward where the Lake Party was located. Their feet burned because thy forgot to put any footwear. After a minute or two, finally the Beater arrived at the Lake Party. They heard joyous beachy music blasted through out the section of the Lake that was permitted to swim in.

After Cash put down their beach towel on one of that picnic blanket to claimed as theirs, the young socialite took some of the food that provided from the picnic basket. They also pick some of boxes of juice that had been cooled prior their arrival. The soon to be Third year put down all of the food and drinks that they just took.

For a moment, Cash laying down on their towel soaking up the sun. Thanks to their Hispanic genes, the Beater could easily get tanned. The chatter and laughter can be heard from where they situated. Cash change their position from laying down to put both of their hands behind their back. Their hands planted on the towel, their legs stretched - out.

As they feel they had enough time of sunbathing, Cash stood up and took of their maroon crop top and walk toward the lake. At a time like this, they missed their girlfriend. If only Kara attends, both of the serpents will definitely do have fun time together. Cash almost jumped directly into the water but stop mid stride.

They looked up and the saw small platform a short way into the lake. The platform have two level on it. The lower level is for people who did not have the guts to jump from the higher level, but not Cash. The green eyes then climbed up into the ladder until they arrived at the higher level of the platform.

The walked up until the edge of the higher platform and looked down. From this point of heights, the platform stood several meters above the water. Cash smirked at that. "For those who swim near or under this platform, for your own safety please swim a bit further"Cash shouted to the people down below.

After that fair warning, Cash walked back again toward the other end of the platform where the ladder meet the platform. The Beater sucked in a deep breath and give a little run. When the young socialite almost at end of the platform, they jumped and fling their body up in the air. The height from the platform and the run that Cash had done earlier, gave them enough momentum to do a double or triple front - flip before their final landing which is into the water.

Charles roller his eyes slightly toward Nikita as he replied calmly, "your annoying me by talking about annoying me, well done second string," shooting her a half grin before turning to the set of red hair that belongs to someone who equally gets on his nerves however in a pleasant way. At least in a more favorable way then Nikita did. That girl truly was the worst and was no doubt strong, remembering past practices where he was the target of her bludgers.

The blonde was ready to race however would be distracted by a familiar set of brown hair and blue eyes. To others it may have seemed similar to others but to Charles it was unique, the brightest, clearest blue eyes he ever saw and brown hair that resembled chocolate.

"I'll race you later red," Charles spoke to Scarlett before kicking a bit and heading back to the shore.

As he kicked, the blonde past a set of purple hair whom he had two encounters and offered a head nod to them as he spoke" hey," the blonde eventually got to a part where he could stand and started to walk from the water toward Xeno.

Xeno was a cabin mate who Charles at first ignored and thought of as everyone else but after a few days he started to see that the kid wasn't like everyone else and was actually pretty cute with a great personality and appearance. That was when the blonde realized he had a crush on him which was good since it ment be didn't fancy his friend; Drew anymore but wasn't certain if Xeni fancied him or was even gay.

Charles walked right up to Xeno, stopping in front as he spoke" mind if I join you," the bloke would give the boy a smile and take a seat next to him on the sand looking from the others splashing around in the waves then turning toward Xeno as he spoke" didn't expect to see you here roomie but I'm glad I saw you," smiling a little as he remembered the food and drinks and asked Xeno, " want to get something to eat?"

Mentioning: @Hjørdis Jensen
Although the outside was warm, there was a hint of a refreshing wind that made it bearable. Even dipping her feet into the water was helping some. Maya watched, without much thought, the children playing and interacting with each other. She wasn't necessarily on the clock to watch the kids, but felt that it was her responsibility to always be there for them; even if she is stuck here for the summer.

From the looks of it, it was Jensen who was on the clock watching the kids. She always did a beautiful job connecting to them, Maya thought. It was ironic that she did not seem like the type to really build connection with others, but she did it so easily with the students of the school. As she was thinking of her, Maya couldn't help but to stare in her direction.

It wasn't until Marcus Iwasaki showed up to bring Jensen food wearing a silly Hawaiian shirt. The more Maya recognized him, the more she believed him to be so kind hearted. There was something about him that earned so much respect. Was it his formality? Maybe it was his newfound informality that she learned about recently. Or maybe... It was the fact that he was always there for others. She couldn't put her finger on it. But there was a feeling of intimidation when nearby him. She always felt like she had to be on her best behavior with him no matter his mood.

When he gave the food to Jensen, he looked over to Maya. She couldn't help but to smile his way, her hair blowing in the small breeze in the shade. Maya looked down at the water and then back at him. They hadn't had a real talk in awhile, not since he visited her office. And even then it was a pleasant conversation.

Maya ushered him to come with her hand, motioning him to come on over.

"Where's my lunch?" she joked, scooting over on the rock, making some room for him if he wanted to sit. The closer he got, the more she felt his intimidation.

Xeno watched as people splashed around in the water, and others played with beach balls and sand. It honestly reminded him of his hometown at the water festival down by the beach in early June. He liked this, it was great people all around him were having the time of their lives, now if only Winter, where ever she is would hurry up and get here, they too could have fun just as the others are. He thought more about it, if he knew Winter as well as he thought he did, she would either be lathering up with sunscreen or finding good food to get before meeting up with Xeno. He would go and check her cabin, but he isn't allowed due to the rules of the camp.

There was no doubt about it, this place was amazing and all of the things it had been connected to, yet still Xeno had nothing to do when Winter hadn't been around since he had made it clear to others that he didn't wish to befriend any of them. He had usually been mean, except to those he took an odd liking to, people like Winter, and his newfound cabin mate, Charles. Xeno liked those who didn't try to fit in, the ones who always thought outside the box, and those who always had time to try something new. But he especially liked the ones he could look at once and think, yep that person's cool. Though it wasn't often he thought of people like that, it was actually quite rare.

Putting his fingers through his hair, Xeno sighed. He wished he had known more people so that he would have more people to hang out with and talk to, but he always tended to start fights or at least get involved with them. The boy noticed Charles had seen him, as he saw the blonde making his way over to Xeno, from the water. Sitting up, Xeno smiled finally someone to talk to! As he approached, asking to join Xeno at his seating area, without hesitation Xeno agreed. "Yeah of course," he spoke as he scooted over a bit to give Charles some extra room beside him.

Xeno looked Charles in the eyes as he spoke, a soft smile stuck to his face. "Hmm glad I saw you too, I guess it's congrats to us both for having a good eye!" he spoke, actually using some emotion in his voice unlike he usually had, he had actually exclaimed something- quite surprising. Xeno hadn't eaten yet today and was actually getting hungry so he thought it over for a slight second before tilting his head with a grin "sure why not" he replied, after all, if anywhere else the first place winter would go to look for Xeno would be the food area, so he wasn't too worried about her finding him. He truthfully thought of her like a hound dog, she could find something you lost years ago, as she had done with one of his favorite pendants.

He would then stand and help Charles up, as they both would head off to get some delicious food!

She had almost forgotten what the reliving, calm nature of the water could do to a person as she swam a few rounds enjoying the gentle splash of the aqua-stained liquid splash against her back and hair. It was a serene moment as her mind forgot everything that was troubling her at that moment and instead, Elena found that replaced with happy thoughts, it was funny how that happened but it wasn't something that she regretted. More and more kids began to partake in the water-based activites perhaps desiring for a cool-down as well or maybe just wanting to show off for the sake of it as evidenced by a particular few who would make their entrance into the body of water none too politely via a cannonball gesture, Elena raising her arm to shield her face from any stray splashes that might have been directed her way making a face at that. Boys, they really were something else.

It wasn't long before another voice greeted her and it was a friendly challenge that was brought up, the idea of a race. A swimming contest as she looked at the boy for a moment before shrugging her shoulders in response. "Why not, might as well get some of that workout in." Elena joked grinning bobbing up and down but as for who would be determined the victor of that race, they would have to find out later as the boy's attention was required somewhere else watching as he kicked off eating up the distance between them and the shoreline perhaps attracted by something else as the brunette nodded her head in greeting to the other girl that he had supposedly invited to take part in this race with them. Another house-mate of hers, the face looked familar at least as she racked her brain for the right name, it was floating around there somewhere, she just had to pull it out.

"Hey, Scarlett, right? I've seen you around, I think." Classes, the common room, dorms, whatever it may be, it was nice to have the roles reversed for an instance. People were always rattling on about how Elena seemed familar, something that she tried not to achieve so it was nice not to be in that situation for once. "What'd ya reckon? Still up for that race?" The Gryffindor by far did not consider herself an expert in swimming so she had no clue why she had even bothered with the idea. If anything, she was going to come out on the losing end in this deal but at the same time, it had a factor of fun that simply could not be avoided. It was better than the monotonous routine she had been doing circling their swimming area like a hungry shark. Hopefully, there were no sharks as the thought crossed her mind glancing downwards into the watery depths with a cautious eye. One giant squid and an army of merpeople was enough already, they didn't need any more amphibious horrors making themselves known.

Marcus noticed the way that Maya was gesturing for him to go over, so he headed towards her. He couldn't really think of what she might need, though. He and the Muggle Studies professor were colleagues - she had been among the first people he spoke at length with when he joined the Hogwarts staff as a caretaker. A late night patrol had led to them being friendly when passing in the halls, but by the time September came around, Marcus had become the Head of Ravenclaw and had some more responsibilities to adjust to. When he finally got around to visiting her office back in February, they had touched base a bit but nothing substantial. Then it was back to saying hello in passing or light conversation over meals in the Great Hall.

Hm, maybe she needed him to get her something or deliver a message? He wouldn't mind such a request. The man stepped into the shade of the tree Maya had situated herself by, pausing a few steps away from her when she spoke. Oh, the food. Of course.

Marcus grinned slightly, "You just have to ask nicely." Which was true. He wouldn't mind making her something, but her tone suggested it was a jest which he was merely playing along with. When she moved slightly on the rock she sat on - clearly indicating he could sit if he wanted - he hesitated before taking the seat. He wasn't exactly in a rush to get back to making food (he had snacked on a taco on the way to delivering them to Nora), but he would only stay for a moment.

"Planning a dip in the water?" he asked. Since she was wearing a swimsuit, he figured that she must be planning to go in.

Charles would give the boy a slight nod and take a seat next to him on the warm sand. He usually would have perfer to swim or do some type of activity or exercise but currently the young Dumstrang didn't mind sitting down and doing nothing with the beauxbatons boy. Charles actually was feeling relaxed and enjoyed chatting with the boy which was odd since usually he felt like he needed a mask around strangers and couldn't let them see his true self. Xeno was different.

"congratulations to the both of us then," Charles replied to Xeno when he mentioned they both had good eyesight for spotting the other. Charles eyesight wasn't the greatest but it was pretty good, after all he was a quidditch player and needed to be able to spot a quaffle or bludger flying through the sky. However when it came to recognizing people, his memory wasn't the greatest but but could remember a few that meant the most to him. Cassie, Drew, Iris, and now Xeno.

Charles smiled toward the boy when he agreed to get food and let him even help him up, grasping his hand then pulling himself up. That was big for Charles, usually he did everything on his own but when he accepted help then that meant he trusted the person. Charles didn't even care if Cassie or Drew saw him and commented later. He didn't care if Scarlett was laughing or of Nikita would tease him later. All he care for was Xeno at the moment. Maybe he could introduce him to his friends? He was after all sort of new to being gay after coming out of the closest only a few months ago...

Charles would follow Xeno to the food wort a small smoke as he look over at his blue eyes and asked" how has the camp been for you?" Odd question but Charles was sure what to ask someone he had a crush on and wasn't sure if he liked him back or if he even was gay.

" what are you going to get to eat?" Charles asking Xeno looking from him to the food wondering what he should get as well after all he was hungry but was also a bit worried about his looks.

Maya could feel such intimidation when he sat down next to her. Her left thigh was against his right. She could sense his warmth. In a way, this was the closest she had been with any man, let alone any person. She had always been independent and never sought the need of others' shoulders to lean on.

But ever since she went home, her demeanor had slightly changed. She wouldn't let anyone in, but slowly her doors were opening. She was still the hard-headed Maya that everyone knew, but she was willing to lean on someone's shoulder. That is, if they would let her.

"Planning a dip in the water?"

She couldn't help but the smirk at the Ravenclaw Head. "What gave that away?" she said, crossing her arms, holding onto the tops of her arms in a relaxed fetal. Her feet were still feeling the coolness of the water.

The heat felt intense, and with Marcus' question, it made Maya want to get herself in the water. She stood up, her feet ankles deep in the lake. She took off the skirt part of her suit and placed it where she sat on the rock. Her face in the shade, bare of makeup, looked natural and calm.

"Nora and Eliseo seem to have food and supervision taken care of. Join me," she offered. "With this heat, you'd regret saying no," she smiled, her Israeli accent thick.
