[Lake] Summertime [Ellie]

[Ellie Rook]

Ellie made a face. The squid? Well, for all she knew he was dying in an entanglement of seaweed. Ok, that was mean. He was stuck in an entanglement of seaweed, not dying, just stuck. She shrugged. "He's fine." She said, a smirk forming on her face. "I saw him evening up his tan lines two days ago." She said, thinking back on how she had avoided the beach on account of the large beast.

Ellie loved the sun. She couldn't wait till the term ended. Sure she would miss Hogwarts, but her parents had recently written to her about how they would most likely be spending the summer traveling down the Amazon river. Ellie could just imagine how beautiful it was going to be. She was already getting her small suitcase ready, full of shorts and tanktops and lots of bathing suits. Oh, and bugspray.

She looked at Lucas, and tried to make her face seem stern, but it only ended up looking like she was in pain. She burst out laughing and looked out toward the sun again. She didn't notice Lucas looking uncomfortable.

Ellie sighed and nodded. She dove back into the water and started after Lucas. She laughed as he mentioned his clothes. Then she got an idea. Ellie out stroked Lucas and quickly beat him to the shore. She climbed out of the water, dripping wet. "That time you had a head start!" She said laughing as she waited for him to get to the shallow end. She laughed as she spied his pile of clothes. Grabbing her towel she quickly wrapped it around her and then went after Lucas' clothes.

Ellie laughed as she held behind her back. "Oh dear!!" She said in fake surprise. "It looks as though someone has thought it funny to take all your clothes!!" She said, her wet hair beginning to wave naturally and uncontrollably in the early evening heat.
