The minute that Professor Jameson had told them to get changed, Max had whipped his clothes off in a flash, leaving him stripped down to his bermuda shorts and baring his skinny physique that was starting to build muscle in places. Max, though, would likely never be on the same league as most of the boys, but he did not care a hoot.
Glancing sideways at Prim to make sure she was ready, Max smiled at his best friend. She was very pretty, that much he could not deny, but Max was not interested in ogling her in a swimsuit anymore than he was interested in ogling her in her school robes. "Ready?" Max asked, positively thrumming with excitement as he hurried before Professor Jameson and waited for the Bubblehead Charm to be placed, together with the warming spell.
Max had all put run in to the water, diving head first once he was deep enough and kicking his legs for England. Max wasn't the strongest of swimmers, though, so he had to work really hard to catch up with Prim a few moments later as she flew past him. "Wait, wait, wait!" Max insisted in his bubble, alternating between doggy paddle and some sort of breast stroke every few seconds.
Prim had turned to see him by the time to caught up, and thought a little out of breath, Max was beaming at the witch. "Did you see them?" Max asked, looking past his best friend for an indication, before catching sight of the creatures. "Woahhhhh." Max said, his eyes bulging wide as he took them in. "They're so cool!" Max continued, though more to himself. The Gryffindor started to swim closer, because he had to get a better look.
