The Lake Party
"Telepathic bond my butt! You wouldn't listen to me unless I screamed at you. Even then you might ignore me thus the dragging. Case proven." She waved her hand in front of her at the water having to scream at him and drag him out of his cabin. And he wouldn't even get in the water? Nonsense! "But what if I drown and there is no one to rescue me?" She practiced her damsel in distress look with her palm towards the sky and the back of her hand rested on her forehead, a small gasp of shock emitted from her mouth. The corner of her mouth twitched as she tried not to break out into a fit of laughter but failed miserably. She wiped the forming tears out of the corner of her eyes before turning to where he had been behind her, hands on her hips in defiance.
"But in all honesty, what was the point of me dragging you down here if you aren't going to swim? Your wearing swim shorts for crying out loud are you not? Of course you are going to get wet!" She crossed her arms in frustration. Well technically she wasn't sure what he was wearing but it would've been dumb for him to show up in a full blown outfit. Annie then decided to turn with a swish of her hair and wade out into the water with or without Dale. Ah who was she kidding? It would be with the annoying goofball of course, against his liking but he should have known he never gets to relax when the marvelous Annie is around. The brunette turned around, felt around the water's edge and grabbed Dale's legs or what she hope were his legs and not another random student's, yanking them downwards as hard as possible to get him to fall in.
She was met with a big splash and a bubble of laughter escaped from her as she got soaked. No reply was met when she called out for the sunscreen so she shrugged, burning it is. It was actually terrifying being in the water and unable to see so she'd stay in the part where she could still touch the ground but she tossed that fear aside. "Cheer up, you aren't going to die." She tossed a sassy grin Dale's way before sending another onslaught of waves at him. Let the water wars begin!

Interacting with: Nate Smirnow (@Haley Rose) @Vivian Fletcher
The Lake Party was definitely the place to be today, it was the perfect weather for a swim and the whole event was nicely planned. Irina was happy that she had gone and with Nate nonetheless. He was her go to, her partner in crime, her confidant, or just overall her best friend. As a best friend, he could do things like throw her in the water without any hard feelings on either side. Except it was now revenge time…
‘Try it’ he would say causing her to let out a laugh saying “Oh I will, you better be ready” With that she took a little dive under the water for a ‘dramatic exit’ as one could say. She was just swimming around while waiting for ideas to come to her mind of what to do to Nate. Finally a good one came to her when she was underwater. Now there was just the waiting for the right time to enact it. When she emerged from the water and noticed him laying on his back, it was time.
He was in the perfect spot for her plan and it was time for revenge. She swam back over to him and semi-jumped on top of him. Irina grabbed his shoulders and pushed them under the water, playfully drowning him. Her revenge was just to take him by surprise in the same way he had to her. Perhaps it was just to ruin the moment but Irina saw it as her attempt at revenge. Before she could really do much more, she noticed a girl doggy paddling over to the two of them.
What was this camp without making a few friends? That was one of their goals going into it so a Irina had been trying to be nice to everyone she came across. “Hi, I’m Irina!” she said to Vivian enthusiastically after she introduced herself. Vivian asked what school they were from and Irina let Nate take the question because she had taken the lead in the cabin on the first day. Anyways, the girl did seem to be directing her questions towards Nate not Irina. That’s why she went back under the water to let them converse without her interrupting.

The Lake Party
Marcus watched as Professor Galim got to her feet and stepped into the lake water, but he did not move to join her. He instead focused his eyes on the rope that had cordoned off this part of the lake, feeling mildly impressed by the enchantments that had been done to keep everyone safe here.Interacting: @Maya Galim
When the dark-haired woman turned back to him, Marcus raised an eyebrow at the request. He made a show of looking down at his own clothes. He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt, but also a pair of jeans. He didn't have his wand on him to transfigure said jeans into swim trunks, nor did he even remember the spell that would do that. And not that he wanted to. Swimming with the kids did not sound appealing at all, especially when his amber eyes glanced in their direction and saw cannonballs and shouting. Swimming was not exactly Marcus' favorite physical activity, but it did come in handy on the days that he worked out in hot weather. It was refreshing after.
"I'll have to decline your offer anyway," he said, getting to his feet like she had, but staying by the rock which was a few feet from the water's edge. "Not exactly interested in all of that," he said, crossing his arms and gesturing with his gaze to the chaos of the children and the floating toys they had. The slight frown he sported while looking at the students morphed to a grin when his eyes landed back on his colleague. "But if you get hungry after your swim, you could come by the truck," he invited. He knew there was a bunch of snacks and treats at this event that Nora had baked and put together, but Maya had seemed envious of the tacos he made for her. It may have been just a joke, though, so the invitation to the truck was just that - an invitation, not an expectation.
With that said, Marcus would tell her goodbye and to have fun with swimming before he walked away, back to the cabins. That's where the food truck was parked, and he could cook in peace away from the kids.

The Lake Party
It was the third day in the Summer Camp - his second Summer Camp spent at Hogwarts, one of the magic schools located in the continent of Europe. Gregorí was not a real morning person, but he could get up anytime he had decided the day before as long as he was not too exhausted.
That morning, he woke up quite early with a feeling that there would be something different today - and then suddenly he remembered: the Lake Party.
There was this swimming pool at the grounds that was opened almost the whole day, but on this particular day, food and drink would also be provided. Gregorí was not a fan of parties, but he did not really mind them anyway, and who could resist free picnic with a chance to dip oneself in a pool on a summer day?
The Horned Serpent student joined the Lake Party that early afternoon after he had had lunch and had waited for about half an hour to let his stomach digest the food. When he arrived, a lot of kids were already there. However, he did not seem to see Drew around.
Drew was Gregorí's closest friend at school. But because the American was a talkative and friendly boy, he was popular - a complete opposite of the Mexican - and he seemed to have new friends from other schools. Considering this camp was interscholastic, there was a good chance that Gregorí could spot Drew with his new friends. But he did not, and it honestly rather amazed him - he had always thought they would be at this Lake Party.
"Maybe they'll be a little late," he thought. Still in his t-shirt and swimming trunks, the Ilvermony student took a canned soda and waited for the Wampus, dipping his toes inside the pool. But he would not mind if somebody would come over and invite him to talk - he could even have new friends, too!

Wow! A Lake Party, this was what Selina was talking about. A Lake Party, this was exactly what had crossed Selina's mind not a swimming competition a nice, fun Lake Party.
Maybe even making new friends.
"Wow, I wanna get in." Selina said admiringly looking at the lake.
"Who are you?" Selina asked to a boy wearing multicoloured dark, swimming trunks and he looked like Quidditch Player material, probably a Chaser.
"I'm Selina, from Hogwarts, what school do you go to? It's just I don't think I've seen you around Hogwarts before." Selina said awkwardly. Selina always went awkward around some people and I guess this cute boy, was one of them. He looked quite a bit older then Selina, two or three years maybe.
It was hard to tell as Selina was almost as tall as the boy she was extremely tall for her age. But she looked even skinnier now for the weirdest reason.
"I'm going to go for a swim," Selina announced to the boy, "if you want you can join me."
And at that moment Selina tossed her bag and towel aside and leapt in the shape of a pencil into the freezing water, but it was warmer when she was in there for longer. She decided to look if the boy was coming or not.
"Come in, it's lovely." Selina said swimming around in a circle to the boy kindly.

The Lake Party
Throwing the little mermaid @Haley Rose into the lake. Open to interactions.
"Hey now, it's a Lake Party. That could be...AT the Lake Party, or it could be IN the Lake Party. It never specified," he defended himself. Simon smiled, glad to see Haley there. Of course she'd be there. He didn't know how Haley perceived herself at all times but she was a bright and social butterfly. She always had a new friend to meet. Not a bad thing though, by any means at all. It meant you could have people to depend on and easily connect with others - even over creepy authors like Lewis Carroll in a magical school's library.
"You look like Ariel," he admired, wondering if she'd get that reference. With a magical mother and a muggle father he wasn't sure all of what Haley had been exposed to over time. Plus, Walt Disney had been an American and maybe not all Europeans followed the early before-their-time classics. Ariel was beautiful, one of the most beautiful of all the Disney princesses.
He would continue though and hope that perhaps she knew. "And if you're Ariel, who does that make me? Flounder or Prince Eric?" He would never be Sebastian, he was far too grump and Simon was rarely grumpy - only with reason, and even then he did his best to find the good out of any bad situation.
He left his beach towel behind and walked with her along the edge of the lake. "Oh no, I don't think you've seen the sea witch yet for your legs! You need to get yourself into the water. Quick! Don't worry, I'll save you!" and with that he reached down and picked her up, going as quickly as possible so she wouldn't protest and he tossed her into the lake. Sure he was only twelve but he was able to do this effortlessly with the help of his dhampir abilities.

@Marcus Iwasaki
Rejected!
Maya couldn't help but to smile at the rejection of her invitation to come swimming. She understood-- not everyone enjoyed a good swim. Granted, she was near a lot of the children, but she was not necessarily in their vicinity. She was off to the side.
"I'll take you up on it," she said, stroking her arms in the water as she went deeper into the lake's water. She could feel the coldness of the lake as the heat was beaming on the surface of the water. It felt good. He was missing out.
Maya dunked her head into the water. It reminded her of stories that her mother would share about going to a Mikvah-- it was a pool filled with flow water that would purify them. Her mother often prepared herself to go once a month. Maya remembered helping her brush her hair. Maya, still underwater, took in the feeling of being immersed. She then popped back up onto the water's surface and slid her hair back.
She took a few moments to float in the water. She then decided that she was done with being in the water. Her stomach was growling and Maya knew just who to go to in order to fix that.
Maya was soaking wet and dripping water as she got out of the lake. She did not bring a towel as she wanted to be soaked up by the sun, hopefully earning a tan in the process. Maya grabbed her skirt that she kept on the rock and tied it around her hips. She then decided to walk slowly towards the food trucks where Marcus may be.

@Serena Towers @Paige Grant @Henry Knight────── ☆ ───────[font=times new roman]S[/font]he briefly wondered if one could get hot in water, but dismissed the thought as quickly as it came. It was preposterous to think that someone's temperature would go up in water - that wasn't heated at least - especially Scottish lake water, which was always cold, even in August. Still, Scarlett didn't mind. She loved the cold, and it was very refreshing when Scotland was at the dizzy heights of...something degrees; Scarlett wasn't so sure.
She was getting quite tired of standing on her tiptoes - oh the pain of being short! - and decided treading water would be a bit too much for her, so she elected to wade further into the shallow parts of the lake. Charles then answered her question, proving he wasn't a complete dunce. He proceeded to not-so-subtly insult the boy, Arjan, and the girl, Lebedev. Scarlett raised her eyebrows at his descriptions. They all seemed very sporty. And Charles was a Chaser? She had never been informed of this. It made her see him in a completely new light, and not necessarily a positive one. "Huh, Lebedev looks a bit younger than me - no offense. I'm short so I get mistaken for a second-year a lot." She shrugged. It was quite funny to pretend she was younger than she actually was. "But you guys are all athletes? That's impressive - is Durmstrang like a really sporty school or something?"
Scarlett attempted a nonchalant hair flip, which miserably failed because her hair was rather soaked from herself and everyone else diving into the lake. "Me, myself, I'm a Beater like Arjan and Lebedev here, so I kinda automatically like them. And if Lebedev gets on your nerves-" Scarlett smirked, eerily similar to that of the Cheshire. "-all the better! And sure, I'll race you. I'm trash at swimming but I don't really care, ahaha. This end to that end?"
"Uh, duh," said Scarlett, in response to Lebedev. "Aren't you proud of your own school? Granted, we do have a lot of...weird, dangerous magic-ky things here at Hogwarts, but it's part of the charm. And of course I'm joking! Don't go around calling people Hoggy-warts. Some'll probably beat you up."
"Ohh yeah the potion thing," said Scarlett with narrowed eyes. Her experience with spiked punch containing Amortentia and other nasty potions at the Blossom Ball had not been a pleasant one. "Wasn't my idea, at least. You can take your complaints to the ball organisers, one in particular, who's a massive-"
Scarlett cut herself off before she could say anything more...spiteful.────── ☆ ───────

The Lake Party
Interacting:@Henry Knight as Charles @Simon Kincaid
Haley splashed the water back at Charles laughing, "I guess there's a lot you don't know about me yet." She laughed before turning her attention back to her real target.
Surprised, Haley looked at Simon as he compared her to Ariel. Of course she knew Ariel, Sebastian, Fabius and all the others, but she didn't have Ariel's red hair, yet the comparison was kind of cute. She grinned broadly at him before she started to sing.
"Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's weather"
"Price Eric?" she laughed out loud now to tease Simon a bit, She pretended to ponder and think about it further, "Mhhh." She looked Simon up and down and surveyed him. She took his arm and lifted it up as if inspecting him. "Maybe Fabius or more likely Sebastian?" she teased him further, trying to suppress a grin.
The two walked together to the lake and suddenly Simon seized the opportunity and lifted Haley up. Startled, she gasped and screamed out. "I don't need to be rescued." But at those words she was already flying the air and her loud laughter died out as soon as her body hit the surface of the water and dived under. When the red-haired head resurfaced, she pushed her hair out of her face and gave Simon an evil glint, meaning revenge.
She walked back to shore and held out her hand, he was far too strong for her to really have a chance, but she also knew Simon. He was too much of a gentleman to not let Haley have this moment. As soon as Simon would grab her hand she would pull him to her in the water and playfully dunk him in the water.

Swim the lake with @Haley Rose
And she would be correct.
Simon felt...sorta bad but not really. After all the girl was already wet! All he was doing was making her more refreshed on this hot day out by the Lake.
He lowered himself and extended out his hand to help her when she pulled at him, disturbing his center of gravity, and causing him to stumble from the edge and into the water below. It was instantly refreshing, both for temperature reasons and to also get out of the sun for the moment, slipping below the water's surface.
When he came up, he would only give her a playful glare before brushing his hand along his face to try and get his hair to lay back as it should. "You know, that wasn't really a princess-y thing to do, my dear." He expected no less from Haley Rose though.
"I mean, what if I couldn't swim? What if I was to drown here and now because the professors that are here are too busy tending to other matters? Or maybe I could have been snatched up by Herman and held captive for the rest of my days. He would take me out now and again just to toss me across the lake and fetch me like a stick toy of a dog." He had heard somewhere someone refer to the Giant Squid as Herman. (had to)
