RP: Pooling Resources
Who: Susan, Dean, and Seamus

What: Trying out the pool

Where: Susan's new (and otherwise empty) house - technically the Mews house

When: Tuesday the 11th of November, evening

Rating: SFW

Susan apparated underneath the external stairs of her new house, glad for the cover of darkness to hide her from any spying eyes. As she hadn't yet moved into the house, she hadn't had time to erect any more than the basic (if still blatantly excessive) wards she placed around any domicile she inhabited as a matter of course. This of course meant that the usual Muggle repelling charms that would have allowed her to apparate in the middle of her yard had she wanted to weren't in place. Shrugging off the oversight, Susan walked quickly across the lawn between the main house and the Mews, and unlocked the door to the garage. Now, thanks to the wonders of magic it had been expanded to four times its original size to allow Susan to keep the garage and add a pool room.

She stepped into the pool room and looked up at the ceiling, bewitched to resemble a glass rooftop showing the sky. Smiling to herself, she sat down in one of the deck chairs and began to examine the various spells on the room - spells to keep the water arceptic and healthy, spells to carry away any linger smells, and of course the spells to make the room look like it was in a glass house rather than a garage. She was so distracted she nearly missed the knock on the door. She started at the sound, and then grinned, leaping up and rushing to answer the door. "Well hello hello, fancy a swim then," she asked, gesturing to the water behind her. "Also I thought we could order some sort of food and beverage?"

Susan rolled her eyes and looked at Seamus pointedly. "Seamus, only eating dinner does not three meals a day make," she said, shaking her head and looking heavenward. "But yes, blue and red are fairly standard colours for swimwear. Just be glad I didn't wear my bikini, I'd own you both."

Susan blinked at Dean in a manner of exaggerated shock for several moments. "But Dean, dear... everthing can be a weapon, you just have to work hard at it sometimes." She watched Seamus and Dean engage in round number seven hundred and eighty four of their homoerotic foreplay and managed not to roll her eyes at them, though she did pretend to drown herself at Seamus' mention of his package. "You do that," Susan called after him before looking at Dean. "Are we going to let him get away with that?"

"Thanks dear," she said, moving over to the ball at a sedate speed. "What game are we going to play?"

Dean shook the water out of his face, blowing out the bit that had splashed into his mouth. "Oi!" he called at Seamus' retreating back. "Pretty sure Justin's making sure it's in working order," he joked, glancing briefly at the area in question with a waggle of his eyebrows and a feeling that makes him shift his arms restlessly. He splashes at Seamus' retreating back in a way that is never going to connect and rolls his eyes.

"No, he's not getting away with it. I'll splash him when he gets back. I'd dunk him but I can probably hold my breath longer," he said quietly with a shrug. He didn't want to harm Seamus, or yank his shorts down, but splashing seemed fair game.

Dean glanced between the two balls his friends held and shrugged. "Dunno what to play," he said, "I mean there's always Marco Polo but that defeats the point of grabbing the balls. Piggy in the middle type thing?" He suddenly launched himself at Seamus who had got near enough, throwing up a huge wave of water by stretching out his arms and hands and forcing it to splash up.

Seamus ignored Dean's comment about Justin - it wasn't untrue, but they were here to swim, not to talk about his sex life. When Susan moved over, he pushed the ball across the water towards her - just in time for Dean to make a sudden lunge and douse Seamus in water. He wasn't quick enough to avoid it entirely, but he managed to duck under the surface of the pool and kick his way to safety. He emerged a few seconds later on the other side of Susan - using her shamelessly as a shield against further attacks.

"Treachery!" He complained, glaring at Dean. "Save me, Susan. Isn't that your job, protecting defenceless, honest business owners from menaces?" Obviously, he expected Susan's response to be to turn around and splash him herself. Or maybe to splash Dean. She could be unpredictable like that. He took another few steps back, into shallower water where he could stand up with the water coming to his waist. "Piggy in the middle sounds good, but you," he started, pointing at Dean over his shoulder, "have to go stand in the deep end. Otherwise it's not fair." He shifted to point at Susan this time. "And you can start in the middle, because as soon as I get in there I'll be stuck for the rest of the game." It was true he had an inch of height on Susan, but neither her Auror reflexes nor her swimming skills. He hadn't been in the water for years. It wasn't something you forgot, but he had a feeling Susan could outpace and outdistance him easily.

Susan snicked and nodded at Dean. "Sounds like a plan to me," she said approvingly, already planning to splash them both for being lovesick idiots. Or rather 'not'-lovesick idiots. She knew that the ability to think in italics made her a person who was in need of being watched, preferably from a safe distance - but such was a perk of being an Auror.

She looked at Seamus for a moment, and then at Dean. "Hmmm, it is but I'm off the clock," she said, sending simultaneous waves of water at both of the men with sudden fervor. "Ugh I'm always in the middle," she said with a pout, already moving to the middle of the pool. His words left her feeling slightly chagrined and she silently vowed to try and get Seamus out of the middle at least a couple of times. Once she was in position she looked at them each in turn. "Well, what are we waiting for," she asked, already coiling herself up for a giant leap.

Dean was almost expecting the wave of water from Susan when it came and managed to close his eyes and mouth just about in time. He shook his head and smacked his lips slightly, getting rid of the tiny amount of water which had managed to make its way into his mouth. At least that was preferable to getting it in his eyes. He had goggles for when he went to swim laps but hadn't bothered to bring them for messing about with friends which was clearly a mistake.

"Fine, fine," he said, conceding the point that his height would give him an advantage in the shallower end of the pool. He launched himself backwards into the deep end. He couldn't actually stand in the deep and began to tread water waiting for Seamus to launch the ball. If he was going to come here regularly he might make the effort to start diving in more often.

Still holding the ball, Seamus hadn't been able to duck in time and so Susan's wave of water hit him square in the chest. As he was already drenched, he just laughed and made a show of 'hiding' behind the ball. "Can't get me!" he taunted, then immediately launched the ball towards Dean, flying far over Susan's head. Susan and Dean might have the advantage of being fitter, but Dean and Seamus had been playing football and quidditch and variations of catch together for years. They had the advantage of knowing one another's moves.

Dean watched Seamus get into position and the almost sudden launch of the ball. It was thankfully flying pretty much directly for him, albeit with a pretty steep arc over Susan's head. He adjusted slightly with some quick moves and caught it with few problems. He was pretty sure Susan would be headed for him, and his inability to launch off the bottom of the pool meant he couldn't really push into his throw, but he'd been a decent chaser and aimed back at Seamus, planning the ball just beyond him. It should only take a step or two and he'd be incredibly impressed if Susan could manage to make that particular gain. Familiarity with your friends' moves was an advantage and disadvantage as far as this sort of game went.

Susan watched the ball soar over her and sourely thought that the boys would probably engage in the whole Jedi meld of theirs to anticipate one another's moves. Of course, she could anticipate their moves as well, but she was hit by a sudden and deliciously evil idea. When Dean threw the ball back, she merely watched it, turning around to face Seamus and grinning. "Oops I seem to have missed," she commented calmly. "Well go on Seamus, don't keep Dean waiting."
