Who: Arran Wood and Lydia Winters.
What: Exploring caves.
Where: Wookey Hole caves.
When: Saturday 20th August.
Warning: Arran still likes swearing.
Arran had wanted to visit the Wookey Hole caves ever since he'd picked up the flyer on one of his visit to the library's computers. For a start, they were caves! Arran had been in caves on holiday once, and they'd been pretty cool - something about going down into the earth and seeing all the rock formations - so it only stood to reason that English caves might be just as exciting. Better than that, though, the muggles apparently thought a witch lived in the caves! (Or were pretending to think so, for marketing purposes, Arran wasn't stupid enough to miss that as a possibility.) The idea was just so ridiculous. Witches and wizards lived in houses, just like muggles did, they didn't live in caves.
When he'd invited Lydia to go with him, Arran hadn't been thinking of her as Roger's friend, because she'd been friends with both of them for so long that Arran had just absorbed her into his list of people he could spend time with. It had occurred to him later, that Lydia was maybe closer to Roger than she was to him, but frankly if Roger thought Arran should stop being friends with her because of that then he could get fucked. Roger was the one who'd ruined everything. Arran just hoped they wouldn't have to talk about him, because he'd done enough of that for one week.
"Lydia," he called, knocking on her door. "Are you ready? Because I've been ready for hours." True, though mostly because Arran was used to waking up early for training.
