Slim fingers skimmed the Black Lakes' surface, gray eyes wide and intrigued when an eye peered up at her before it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. She giggled softly. It seems the rumors of mermaids in the lake were true... unless.... Her eyebrows shot up at the tentacle that breached the otherwise calm water.
Well then. She calmly stood from her crouched position. "That explained many..." Her expression went blank. "Many things." Eerie shook her head. Actually, this lake would be one of the most normalist- was that a word?- things here. Her nose scrunched up. "Okay. So maybe mermaids and a giant squid the size of a building didn't technically count as normal." But it was worth the thought.
"Isn't there a spell for gills... Or was that a potion ingredient." It was probably the potions ingredient. If you had been in any of her classes, then you would've seen just how horrible she was. Somehow, a First Year could make better potions than her, something that made Eerie want to pull her hair out. But was it her fault the cauldron always felt the need to explode when she was near? Was it?
She gazed back out over the lake, the lone tentacle waving at her forlornly, as if guessing she didn't want to wave back. And, in a surprising move, she lifted her hand in a slight side to side movement, something that a normal human wouldn't take as a wave. But this was a giant squid. It splashed the water playfully, before it submerged again, leaving Eerie to feel a small bit lonely.
"There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out."
She sang softly, blond bangs covering her face as her face spelled its way across the small clearing. Not beautiful or captivating, but clear and bell like by the way it rang pure. At the last line, she sighed, a huff escaping her lips. "And the boredom continues." She called quite ominously, sinking back into the soft grass that provided an excellent view of the lake. Sigh.
