"I get it," Keag replied, nodding as she stood up straight again. "I just wish I knew what I wanted." Er..."To do, want to do," she added hastily, realizing she had slipped somewhat. "You know what, though, if you wanted to take a swim, I could just watch. Maybe dangle my feet in the water for a bit. How does that sound, eh?" She figured that the arrangement would work out the best for both of them.

Dean nodded, his brow raised as she quickly added on to her previous statement. " You want to watch me swim? " He asked her curiously. This was an odd suggestion but if Keag wanted time to think or whatever he didn't want to intrude. " Alright, that sounds good I guess. " Dean said, then waved his wand in a semi-complicated manner, and he had the swimming trunks on instead of jeans. No nakedness, which work out. (( )) He set the pants on the bank, sort of next to Keag as well as his shirt. " Hey, can you hold these for me? " He asked, handing over his glasses.

"It's not so much that I want to watch you swim as that I know you want to swim, and I don't want to keep you from doing what you want to do," she stated, sticking her tongue out at the boy. It made her more comfortable to know that she wasn't standing in his way of doing something; besides, after he'd had his dip in the lake, perhaps the awkwardness wouldn't be so apparent. Keag was grateful that Dean knew a spell to swap his garments, as she hadn't considered the potental awkwardness of that exchange. (( )) Through force of habit, Keagan folded Dean's clothing more neatly when he set it up beside her. She then placed his glasses gingerly on top. "Sure thing," she answered. "They'll be safe here."

" Oh, alright. " Dean said to her, taking her word for it that it wouldn't bug her if he took a swim. When she stuck her tounge out at him he returned the gesture with a grin. He put his tounge out back where it belonged in his mouth and watched as she refolded the clothes. His vision might've been poor, but he did see her place his glasses on the stack. " Thanks. " He said to her with a nod.
Next he turned towards the lake, said, " I'll be back. " with a grin and started running towards the lake. He need only run about 15 feet before he jumped into the cool, semi-clear water. At the place he jumped in at it was only about four feet deep but Dean didn't notice.

Keagan shook her head in good humor as the boy took off for the lake. Boys will be boys, she supposed as she reached down to untie the laces on her saddle shoes. They were off fairly quickly, and after stuffing her socks into them in a tidy way and setting them aside, Keag's feet hit the water with a satisfying splash. It was the ideal temperature for a day like this, and the coolness on her warm ankles felt wonderful. She sighed happily as she shut her eyes and let her feet simply soak.

He resurfaced, shook his head like a wet dog and wiped the water from his eyes. " Come on, Keagan. The water's fine. " Dean joked, knowing she wouldn't join him in the water. He stood for a second, the water up to about his chest or so as he stepped out tentatively, going in deeper. Dean could feel the movement beside his legs, little Lake creatures scurrying about, wondering what this big new creature was. He jumped head long into the water, swimming for a bit under the water before coming up again. He had opened his eyes underneath the water and seen a small little eel looking thing. He thought it rather funny.

Keagan rolled her eyes as he shook the water off his head. She had opened her eyes when BK had sidled up beside her and rubbed the length of his body against the length of her leg. The touch had tickled, but she had simply giggled and stroked her hand along the cat's back. She then turned her attention back to the boy in the water just as he dove. He had nice form...The Gryffindor blushed as she thought this and glanced away to the cat again.

( nice form? lol )
Dean stood very still as he felt something rush past his leg. It very really wierd, slippery, even. He shook his head slightly and dove in. When he came to the surface again he flopped on his back and floated around for a few minutes, controlling himself by his arms. Dean stood up, now the water was at his neck. He ducked his head under, holding his breath. Due to this he sunk all the way to the bottom of the Lake. Dean opened his eyes and saw a pair of eyes staring back at him. ' Holy ****. " He thought to himself as he sprung himself up and wiped the water from his eyes.

(Oh j4)
Keagan didn't see any of what was going on in the water after she looked away. At first she was simply averting her gaze, but then she got caught up in other things. For instance, the second year that had just greeted her as he walked past toward the Quidditch pitch. As she turned and greeted him back, she also spotted a Ministry official heading in the other direction.
The student officials had been warned many times about the Ministry's presence at Hogwarts, but this was the first time Keagan had actually spotted them. Perhaps she was Ministry adverse, or maybe it was just the limited time she spent out on the grounds, or out of her common room in general. Either way, actually seeing it struck her a bit differently, and she frowned before looking back to the cat.

( j4? )
Dean was getting slightly bored in the water. He enjoyed taking long swims but now he didn't feel like exhausting himself. He looked up and saw a small figure close to Keag. He shrugged and began to swim towards the bank. When he reached it and stepped up onto shore he said, " Hey, Keag. " And reached for his glasses from atop the pile. Placing them on his face he took his shirt and put it on, even though his body still had water clinging to it. He grabbed the towel ( let's pretend it came with the trunks... lol ) and dried his hair, ruffling it.

(j4=ja=yeah ) When Keag's attention turned back to the water, she saw Dean swimming back. "Hey," she greeted back, though still distracted slightly by the lanky man, who she could only assume was an Auror, still visible behind her. She glanced over her shoulder at the man again, but then turned back to see Dean with his shirt and glasses back on. She smirked slightly when she noticed the damp patches of his shirt clinging to his body where his skin had still been wet. "Have a fun swim?" she asked as he toweled his hair. (silly ) When he pulled the towel away, his hair was all over the place, and Keagan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

(( i get it... )) " ' Lo. " Dean said, even though he had already greeted her. Dean looked past Keag to see a man, he presumed him to either be with the ministry or the staff, walking past them. He caught the man's eye and shook his head slightly. The aurors being there annoyed him to no end. " Eh, fun enough. " Dean replied, turning his attention back to Keagan. He picked up his wand from his pants and muttered a few words and was completely dry. Even his shirt. ( ) When she laughed at him he shook his head, althought he was smiling slightly.

"Was more of a dip, though, wasn't it?" she inquired, just to make small talk, as she pulled her damp, dangling feet from the water and let them drip dry out over the rock where she sat. She shook them a bit haphazardly, spattering both herself and Dean with small droplets of water before grinning up at Dean. His hair was still a mess, but she kept her giggles inside as she looked to him. "Any more ideas?" she asked, wondering what he'd like to do next, though she realized she wasn't being much of an idea person herself.

" Ey? Just a bit. " He replied with a slight grin. Dean felt a few droplets of water from Keag's feet and he laughed. " Impressive. " He noted with a nod. " Ideas? " He asked, then guessing Keag meant something else for them to do he shrugged. " Dunno, maybe you should think of something for us to do, huh? " He suggested bcause everything he did suggest to her she didn't want to.

Dean's response to her question sounded a little bit defensive, but Keag supposed she had probably warranted that by being opposed to his previous suggestions. Though she had merely tweaked the last one..."Well...," she began as she thought. Her eyes lit as if there really was a light bulb there as she got an idea. Keagan jerked her thumb over her shoulder toward where the soccer ball lay. "You have that nifty ball with you...Want to kick it around a bit? I could go for that."
