Hagrid's come into the bar for a bite to eat, and a cold tankard of beer. He's in a cheerful mood today, as usual.


And still looking for people to try out his pumpkin boats out on the lake. Any takers?

Hagrid holds back a chuckle - he wasn't sure if Caspian would know that the giant squid had apparently been abducted.

"Mr. Julia Fruitnugget," Hagrid says with a cheerful nod. "Yeh probably don' have much ter worry about."

"That is extremely comforting," he calls back, treading water with an amused expression on his face. "What a way you have for making me feel better, Hagrid."

He can, he figures, take on a giant squid if he needs to, so he spends a few more minutes happily diving and splashing around before climbing back into the punkin shell and rowing back towards shore.

Hagrid is laughing outright as Caspian ignores the threat of a possible giant quid attack, and grins as he rows the pumpkin boat back to shore.

"How it work for yeh? Any adjustments need ter be made?" He asks, as he pulls the boat up onto the shore when it's close enough.

"Floats as easily as a duck, and about as stable as one, too," he grins, jumping out into the shallows. He is soaked straight through, his shirt and trousers clinging to him, but he looks extermely happy about it.

"It's a little bumpy if you don't know how to balance in the water, but she's so round that you couldn't flip her at all, unless you were trying to."

"Great!" Hagrid says, happy to hear the news.

He takes a small carving knife from his pocket and carves "King Caspian" in the side, near the top.

"Now folks kin tell which ones have bin tried already, an' are safe ter take out. O' course, yer welcome ter take it out any time atall, until it decides ter rot or summat. I tried a couple o' different charms ter keep that from happenin'."

Hagrid eye Caspuian's dripping clothes. "I ain't very good at dryin' charms. Yeh'd better go on an' get changed before yeh catch summat."

Assuming the dead can get sick.

Caspian rasies an eyebrow, but shrugs and heads off waving.

"Thanks for letting me try her, Hagrid! See you soon!"

Hagrid waves in return, and picks up the boat to rest it back up against the outside wall of the bar.
