It was the first few days of being at Hogwarts and for avie this was proving to be endlessly exciting. He never had so many opportunities to just do stuff. It also helped that classes hadn't quite started, so he also didn't have that issue, where people were telling him where to go and such. He was just good at dealing with it. Everyday as it turned out was a new opportunity to do something. It was as if, the young slytherin that he would never actually run out of things that he could do. There was so much, and his mind was buzzing from all the excitement it was causing him. He was also fairly happy with the hat's choice of Slytherin, while the people didn't seem overly nice, he was sort of used to that, so it hardly bothered him. He enjoyed it, it was going to be just like with his cousins. It was going to be amazing, and Avie was more than happy. It was however an odd thing every morning, where the boy had to decide what he was going to do with his day. On that very section, he had decided to check out the lake. He hadn't gone outside too much, and since it was a relatively nice day, the boy figured that owuld be a good place to be. So, that had been exactly where he had gone. He had chosen to wear his shorts, hand me downs from his cousin, and an old New Zealand rugby team t-shirt. He didn't actually have any swimming gear, so that was the best he could get. He didn't have anything to help him see underwater, which considering the fact that the boy wore glasses anyway was not going to help much. None of this stopped him though. He was in the water, diving down and swimming around. Every so often scraping against rocks that hadn't appeared to be as close as they were in his line of vision. It was fun, he had gathered a few rocks which he was storing in the pockets of his shorts. His glasses were in the other pocket, Avie didn't think that they'd get too badly damaged, though he had seemingly forgotten that his shorts were not actually waterproof.
It was as he resurfaced, and stopped to get his breathe that he noticed a girl sitting by the lake front. He could sort of see that she was writing. He was more curious now, so, he dove into the water, and resurfaced slightly closer, staying mostly still in the water, from closer, he could make out the fact that she was talking, he stood up to full height, and took his glasses out from his pocket, shaking them slightly to get excess water away from them that he realised that the girl was mumbling. He didn't think she was talking to him, but he wasn't entirely sure. He wasn't ever sure how to address it. Should he call her to tell her that she was alone, or head over. "Hey!" He called to the girl, though he meant it in a non-threatening manner, he wasn't sure if it had come out as such. He cursed himself slighty, and moved slightly closer to where the girl was sitting, ignoring the fact he was completely dripping wet, that he had a number of cuts and bruises, and that he was barefoot, because he hadn't wanted to destroy his shoes. "You know you're talking to yourself? Like not even in your head, you are actually talking" He just wanted to be sure that the girl knew that she wasn't actually using an inner voice, that he and other around her could hear what she was saying. He hadn't made out most of what she had been saying, but he had water in his ears. Taking a few more careful steps towards her, he began to get curious, the girl, he remembered her from the sorting, so they were in the same year, but not the same house. However she appeared to be writing. They didn't have any work so far, that couldn't be school work. "What are you doing anyway?" He asked, not really caring if the girl didn't want to talk to him, or that he might be intruding upon her. He was curious, if she told him to back off and go away, he probably would. The lake was endlessly interesting. He'd continue the fun he'd been having. But, he was curious.
