He held tightly and shook his head. "You're not going into this deep water alone, nope. So stay still and in my arms, and then I'll stay down a little longer. I'm not going to let you drown. Sorry Sirius, not happening."

"I just bes helds like daddy does." He frowned."Foat! What mommy says it is." He nodded and gave Hannibal a firm stare, feeling like he would have to teach this man a lot.

He looked at him. "I cant hold you like you're daddy, because I'm not your daddy." He started to float backwards, and moved the kid to his stomach, as he floated in the water, like a jellyfish. "Want some candy after this?"

"Yes! But I wants swims." He nodded and just looked at the side of the water. Observing his grandfather's movement, he waited, and then took the opportunity and jumped into the water, sinking, and just moving his arms and legs, holding his breath.

He kept floating, till he felt the weight from him, lessen, and when he picked his head up, there was no Sirius." He sighed and shook his head, and then dove down, seeing Sirius kicking his legs and moving his arms. He swam right under him, so that his head came between his legs and he resurfaced Sirius on his shoulders as he held to his legs. "If you want to swim, fine. But not here. This part is too deep." He sighed. "Come on, I'll teach you how to swim in the more shallow part, and then maybe, just maybe I'll let you swim in the deep part, sometime soon, with me around. Sound good, little man?"

"Yup! I sees a mans down there." he nodded and then looked down at his grandfather and moved some hair from his own eyes and then methodically made circles in Hannibal's hair.

He looked up to him. "I'll check it out later, dont worry." He walked to the shallow part of the water and bent down, putting Sirius down. "Alright you have a choice. Swimming lesson first and then candy. Or candy and then a swimming lesson?"

"Hmmmm....lessons." He started into the water and walked around and then let his body fall in the shallow part and just waited."Whens I starts swimmings?"

"You're not going to learn it in one day, kiddo. It's gonna take a few weeks. But lesson number one. You need to know how to flap your arms." He outstretched his arm and brought them back and forth. "Do that. It's the easiest way for you to learn how to swim for now, and when you improve I'll teach you a better lesson." He got into the water, and started to flap his arms back and forth, swimming a few inches from him, then back.

He imitated his grandfather and smiled."This ways?" He continued moving his arms and waited, looking to him for approval that he was doing it the right way.

He nodded. "Yeah, that way." He smiled. "Alright try to that in the shallow part of the water. He pointed with his foot. "Swim a little ways and then swim back, practice makes perfect."

He laid in the water on his stomach and then started moving his arms but found he just stood there and moved almost an inch and then he frowned."Is useless!"

He laughed and shook his head. "Nah, it's not. You just have to do it in the right place." He picked Sirius up and moved him to a part of the Bay that was about 4 inches deeper. "Alright try it now."

He nodded and tried again, moving his arms and found that he moved some, but his legs were dragging him down."Legs." He lifted one and pointed."Useless."

He smiled a bit. "Alright, lesson number two...moving the legs." He got on his stomach, and started to kick his legs widly, while water splashed everywhere, then moved his hands back forth. "Alright, kick your legs, and move your arms."
