For a dip. or perhaps a splash. (open)

[Stacy Oswald Shade]

Bethany was excited about going to the pier, if only to dip her feet in(she didn't have much time or she would've gone swimming), as she hadn't had time in quite a while. She was so exited however she rushed toward the end of the dock and mis-stepped sending her dropping into the water, robes and all.

She swam to the surface and clung to the dock resting her head on her now crossed arms.

"why me..." she said with a frown

Her wet robes were weighing her down and she was tired and annoyed and didnt feel like pulling herself up, so she just hung there hoping for something good to come of the situation.

Kel walked along the pier. One of her many favorite places. Brown eyes alert, as she walked with the pier as it moved. Today she wore only her school attire. Instead of her bagpack at her side, her hands were the only thing present. Kel had desided that she would leave her art stuff back in the dorm, instead of hauling it around the school. Her eyes alert she found a girl gripping the side of the pier. "Oh my!" Kel exclaimed. As she went onto her knees, extending her hand out to help the girl out.

Bethany smiled, gratefully, as someone took her hand and pulled her out. she sat on the edge and sighed squeezing some water out of her hair.

"Thank you." She said "My names Bethany."

Bethany looked to where she thought the person would be. She wondered who they were as she felt herself checking how wet she actually was.

[keladry]

Kel nodded her head."Are you alright?" she asked. As she took out her wand, to help dry Bethany's clothing. "Whatever caused you to fall into the lake?" Kel asked her, realizing her mannors were off, she added. "I'm Kel Elliot."

[Stacy Oswald Shade]

Bethany smiled and said "Thank you, Kel, I'm fine." She blushed and continued "I was being careless and didn't check where I was walking." Bethany shivered slightly and adjusted her underclothes tactfully from the outside of her robes.

Bethany thought longingly of the common room fire "I'm.... So... Cold..." she said shivering. The fact that she was skinny as a stick didn't help much either and she felt around to stand up.

[keladry]

Kel stood with her. "Come on, I'll help you to the Hufflepuff common room. I'm sure you'll be warm up there." suggested Kel. "And I've done that a time or two, almost got myself in some devil snare back at home once, because I accidentily hit a step wrong over my Uncles garden."

[Stacy Oswald Shade]

Bethany smiled despite the chill "Th-Thanks" she said reaching out for the Kel's hand.
The warmth of the common room sounded wonderful, and bethany hoped to get there as quickly as possible.

[keladry]

Kel nodded. "So where are you from? I'm from, South-Asia." Kel explained. "And how do you like Hogwarts so far?"

[Stacy Oswald Shade]

Bethany smiled. "London. I was born and raised there." she said "I like it very much, how about you?"

She looked where she assumed the castle was and her ticket out of the dripping clothes she had on.

[keladry]

"Wow London must be facinating. I have only been there once. To get on the Hogwarts Express. Never really had the chance to look around." she told Bethany. "I like it alot. I have to say, it's great to call something home after all these months of moving around, since I was little." Kel admitted.

[Stacy Oswald Shade]

Bethany smiled and said "Yes..." in response to what Kel had said about London, and simple nodded after she finished.

"Asia must be amazing." Said Bethany in a curious tone.

All the time getting closer to Hogwarts and the warmth it held, unlike most other castles.

[keladry]

"It's different. I have to say there seems to be more people. I lived in a large city called Singapore. You've probably heard of it. It's mostly known because of the Pirates Of the Carriabean movie... But it doesn't look like that... And I haven't seen any pirates, that look like Orlando Bloom." she told Bethany with a crooked grin.
