trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
hey there little lightning boy
blushes at the playful nickname, stutters "Uh, yeah, I...I come here sometimes. What about you? Do you...do you come here often?"
quickly interjects, blushing even more "No, no, I didn't mean... well, yeah, but... uh... I was just wondering if... uh... you'd like to be friends?"
smiles, relieved "Great! So, um, what's your name?"
chuckles nervously "Um, nice to meet you, Fat Boi. I'm Harry Potter. But please, don't call me that. I prefer... I prefer 'Harry'."
giggles "Marcus, huh? Well, it's nice to meet you, Marcus. I hope we can be great friends. So, um, do you want to do something fun?"
sure what do you wanna do
excitedly "Well, how about we go for a walk around the lake? The air is really fresh today, and I could use some company."
gestures animatedly "Great! Follow me, Marcus! We're going to have such a wonderful time together!"
starts walking briskly around the lake, gesturing animatedly "So, Marcus, did you know that Professor McGonagall is actually a pretty good Banshee impersonator?
As they continue their walk, Harry accidentally trips over a tree root and falls face-first into the lake, soaking himself completely. Marcus stands nearby, trying to stifle his laughter.
sits up, dripping wet, and brushes his wet hair back "Oh, um, yeah, I'm fine. Just... just took a little dip, I guess."
laughs nervously "Yeah, well, it's all part of my charm, you know? The random bursts of water everywhere. Keeps things interesting, right?"
shivers slightly, wrapping his arms around himself for warmth "Brrr, it's a bit chilly today, isn't it? We should probably head back to the castle and get dried off before we catch hypothermia."
hugs Marcus tightly "Marcus, I'm so glad we're friends. You always know how to make me feel better."
i just laugh at you fall into the water
grinning "Hey, Marcus, you know what's even more fun than falling into the water?"
pauses for dramatic effect "Getting a rubber duck to join you in the water! Imagine the look on their faces!"
enthusiastically "Yeah! They'd be completely quacked off! It would be hilarious!"
starts walking briskly back towards the castle "Come on, Marcus! Let's go get some towels and start our prank! We'll make it the best one ever!"
rushes into the castle, dripping wet, and heads straight for the towel closet "Marcus, I'll find the towels! You go gather some buckets and cauldrons!"
frantically searches through the towel closet, pulling out an assortment of colorful towels "Got 'em! Now where did Marcus go?"
