"Yeah, I mean I've apparated up a few times, but she's doing Biochemistry and has a social life and stuff so she's pretty busy," he said and shrugged. Jess was building a real independence for herself. He winced when Lucy mentioned her phone though. "Mine works at home usually, but not at the studio or if I'm the other side of the Leaky. I've caused a couple of minor panics staying there, but thankfully my parents know Susan's address just in case, and they answer owls if they get them." When he'd holed up with Seamus right after he'd broken up with Ophelia in particular had inspired a few interesting messages.
Dean moved himself to the end of the pool, a couple of arm spans between himself and Lucy. "Crawl it is then, I'd rather not break your head. There and back again?" he suggested. He had no idea if she could tumble turn, and he tended to find it a bit tight at the shallower end they'd be heading for (plus he wasn't that practised at it), and he had a feeling she was built a little more for speed than he was. A lot of his swimming was endurance based, although he also tried swimming at speed a few times every session or two. He waited for her assent before nodding. "On three then? One, two, three," he counted down evenly, the one hand he'd been gripping the edge of the pool with releasing as he launched himself forwards.
