Lucinda giggled and let go of the girl. "Don't worry, I don't have anything on me, other then these and water." She tugged the towel over herself to keep warm as she shook her body to get some water out of her hair. "See?" She smirked and started to walk by the side of her as they continued along.

"I could do with perhaps seeing you again some time... To talk about some things. If its alright?" She asked and looked at her feet, drawing her wand and trying to recount spells to help dry herself quicker while considering if she should or let herself stay wet, she's going to take a shower anyway.

With a frustrated groan as she gave up trying to recount spells she put her wand in the straps for her bra on her back. "I hope you get your shoes back. I can share you some of mine if you need."

"You know it, babe," Zeta said with a grin and gave Lucinda a gentle slug on the shoulder. "What are eccentric, shoeless, Hufflepuff, Pepper big sisters for?"

They hiked back up to the castle, the rocky path giving way to the ancient paving stones and steep steep steps. Zeta was taking a liking to this funny little Gryffindor who was quick to threaten a hex or few, who was immune to pond-cold, and eager to help when it came to dredging up Doc Martins. Where had this little weirdo been all her life? Zeta offered another smile and hauled open the heavy door.

"Hey, I'll see you later, okay? Don't worry about me."

Lucinda smiled warmly and nodded at Zeta as she gave another stretch. "Yeah, I'll see you later then. I do hope you find your shoes." She stopped and bent down to dry her legs and a bit of her upper body with the towel so she isn't completely wet for the walk back. "We need somewhere quiet...not somewhere people will see also. The Boathouse yeah? In a few days?"

She gave an eager look, half hopefully she will show and half fearful of her rejecting her. "Its something I want to get off my chest and I'd rather others don't hear. Although it may yet be something that others already know." She goes to put on her shoes so that she does not hurt her feet on the cold stone floors. "They should invest in some good carpets in the castle."

She gave a gentle smile to her and started to make her room back to the Gryffindor common room, needing a good shower and some hopefully hot water.
