I have no words. Or rather, I have many words, but they're all severed and scattered around and don't make much sense.
This was... brilliant (three cheers for Aang embracing his inner Arthur!). I had imagined it a bit differently, but I like your way much, much better. There's never enough of the thoughtful, deep insight of the characters you give, the way you describe their attitudes, reasoning and motivations; and you always keep it so well in-character! I love how you wrote Aang in here. It made me happy along with the rest of Hogwarts! It's like, long-wave Avatar effect or something! Not to mention the Kyoshi Island feels were flying all over this text.
I loved it as a whole, easy to say, but the beginning of the night ride scene deserves a special mention. You pictured a secret student gathering in the most perfect way there is. Scattered utternaces give a great impression of an excited crowd and have something inherently funny in them. I swear I could see the Weasley twins going around and taking bets ( ... )

THAAAAAANK YOOOOOU ~~! *hug attack* I'm so thrilled you liked it! As usual, your comment made me all giddy and excited and blushing.

I had imagined it a bit differently Me too XD Then I sat back down to the started piece today and, well. The characters basically decided to take the wheel. For the better, I suppose ;)

Haha, no problem! :D I'm not the Avatar, but I'm always happy to make people happy with my comments.
Out of curiosity: what had you planned for this installment originally? To be honest, I was half expecting a twist between the lines of: "Come oooon.Go. Move. Stir. Budge. Damn you, phlegmatic British creature! This is booooring!" XD

You'd do a damn great job as the Avatar, let me tell you.

First I just wanted to have a shortie about how Aang's having fun at Hogwarts (hence the opening part, written waaaay earlier) and rides a squid to the delight of the crowd, but with the emphasis on humour and action and perhaps an intervention from grumpy teachers in the end. Then I thought it would be nice to write Aang exploring the depths of the lake with its many inhabitants and forgetting all about the squid-riding. That was what I was going to do today, actually.

Your idea is pure WIN. I can totally see that happening! Lol at phlegmatic British creature :D
