SWIMMINGGEDDON.

[wwistful]

WHO: Murdoc Donoghue and YOU
TONE: Fun, WHIMSICAL, horrifying
RATING: PG-13 and onward
WHEN: September 7th
WHERE:  The Lake.
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.]

Well, we're wizards. I am sure we can.

Of course we would have to check if they don't already exist. If they don't, I'll have a look at the show. I did say I would during winter break then I can find some recipes. Now the only thing that would probably give us trouble is enchanting them to do the things you described.

[remembertheroses]

[That all sounds rather exciting! She can't help but let that big smile spread across her face because the idea of Pop Biscuits actually being real is very appealing to her.]

What can I do to help?

[coffeewithtea]

On our first Hogsmeade trip we should check Honeydukes to see that they don't have anything like them first. Actually if they do have anything similar it would be good to find out how they are made.

Wait, can you go to Hogsmeade this year?

[remembertheroses]

[Oh. She needed to go there? Her face fell slightly as she shook her head.]

[coffeewithtea]

Well in that case I can make a note of the types of candy they stock. I can even bring you some things back. If you like that is.

[remembertheroses]

A-ah! Y-you do not have to, it is ok! I have already asked Coraline for help to buy me candy. Thank you but it is alright, it will be rude of me to ask this of you.

[Ever the polite and well-behaved one, Ib can't bring herself to impose on others.</small<]

[coffeewithtea]

You're not asking. I am offering. I like don't mind. I mean you should never say no to candy.

[He doesn't mind that is why he asked. Besides, it would help them achieve their goal by comparing the Honeydukes candy and if not it would be great to have a lot of sweet.]

But I'll definitely take notes on the candy.

[remembertheroses]

N-no...but it seems impolite as we have only just met and I do not wish to be rude.

[coffeewithtea]

Okay, but if you do change your mind you should totally let me know.

[remembertheroses]

[She hesitates a moment, before she finally nods and smiles.]

OK. Thank you Ka Lung, that is very nice of you. I hope we will be able to create the sweets, they would be very interesting.

[coffeewithtea]

[He takes that to mean that she will at least consider it.]

It would be but it is going to be a lot of work. Still, I am sure we'll be able to achieve it in the end.

[remembertheroses]

I will wait for your instructions then. I am still learning how to cast magic, so I may not be that good, but I will do what I can to help.

[coffeewithtea]

That's fine. I think I will have to do a bit of research in any case. I am not sure what sort of spells are used to enchant sweets anyway.

[remembertheroses]

Maybe we can ask Professor Matteris?

[coffeewithtea]

That is actually a good idea. We should do that.

[remembertheroses]

I-I can ask her, if you like!

[The fact that he praised her idea made her blush a little; eager to please more, she made the offer to speak to Professor Matteris, eventhough the sharp-tongued, one-eyed teacher really scared her.]

[coffeewithtea]

All right. Then we'll meet up. I'll have a list of all the sweets ready after Hogsmeade weekend.

[It is a good idea so of course he would acknowledge it. But then he was not aware she was scared of Professor Matteris.]

[remembertheroses]

OK!

[She nodded fervently. She's always trying her best to help everyone else out and not be such a useless baby.]

[coffeewithtea]

[He didn't think she was like that at all. Maybe she was shy but with the right topic she could really open up. He was glad for it because now they were going to embark on a journey to make some enchanted sweets.]

I'll look for you then.

[remembertheroses]

((OOC: I have a plotting post with Ib, maybe we could discuss more stuff there if you'd like?))

Alright. I will keep a...ear? Out?

Ah, I mean, eye! I will keep an eye out.!

[coffeewithtea]

[He'll give her a salute before backing off and he will let her draw. He would see her once more once he has the list done.]

[remembertheroses]

[She giggles a little before returning his salute with one of her own as well as a bigger smile than the first one she gave him. Her drawing resumes, but this time it's filled with images of biscuits that go pop and fizzy lemonade and all sorts of yummy treats. She can't wait!]
