WHAT:  After this Murdoc realised the children (and staff) of Hogwarts were in dire need of swimming lessons.
STATUS: Ongoing

[GATHER AROUND CHILDREN it's a warm summer day and the lake is perfect for diving into your sudden but inevitable deaths. You should all be dressed in your swimming trunks (which you clearly have don't even lie) because Murdoc sure is. He's determined to conduct this in the best manner he can, though he wasn't quite expecting the turn out to be so large. People who can swim are welcome to become his assistants because he could probably use the help.]

C'mon then. [He nods toward the water.] Let's get started.

[Welp. Here goes nothing. She edges into the lake and peers into it before carefully stepping in. The water is cold and already she wants to step out be she wills herself to push in till she is about waist deep and she looks back at Murdoc dubiously]

I've tried to learn before but I've never been able to float very well.

[wwistful]

Then we'll work on that. [He takes a few steps back, encouraging her to wade a little deeper.] Once you figure that out, the rest comes naturally.

[moirailcompass]

[She bit her lip, but nodding, trusting him and going in a bit further until she had to stand on her tip toes]

O-ok. [She held her arms out to help herself balance.]

What do I do?

[wwistful]

Push your self out of the water an' let yourself float. Like this.

[He does it himself before letting himself drop back to his feet.]

If it's too difficult, I can move you.
