Edme studied the damp snow beneath, bits of dark grass peaking out through any crevice it could find. She moved her foot around, watching as the snow grew clearer and clearer until it separated to more grass.

The story of Juniper was surprising, the girl from the lake being the same one who tried to fight a group on their celebration day. "Really?" they asked, eyebrows high on her forehead, "That's... rude. Did she fight you?"

A bit of wind swirled around and swept Edme's hair around a bit, flipping in weird directions. She fixed it absentmindedly, continuing to listen to Maggie intently.

A bit of weird anxiety shock pulsed through their stomach at the mention of the permission slip. Had she been caught? As Maggie continued on, Edme let their shoulders fall. Safe. "That would be nice. I've only been down a few times, but I can recollect some of my bearings." The Ravenclaw smiled as a memory bubbled up of marveling at the candy shop with Draven. Not-so-fond memories caused the smile to falter, the first arrival to the Shrieking Shack and the twist in their stomach.

"Do you go down often?" she asked, fixing the weird mess their hair had become with the growing breeze.

XXXXMaggie had never visited Hogsmeade, actually. It was funny; she'd gotten her hands on a permission slip to enable her visitation before third year, but hadn't utilized it, much less thought of it, since she secured it in her possession. "Oh, no, I left. My friend Liana left so I followed her," she explained, tugging her fingers through her hair as the cold wind hit her full blast in the face. The winter chill was not something Maggie appreciated, except for sleep. Oddly, she always slept better when it was cold out. That was aside from the point. The hair began to get frizzy and cold and dirty looking as the cold settled over it. Hogsmeade was a much nicer prospect. Maggie rolled her shoulders. "Oh, no. I've never been, but I've been thinking about it. Just haven't had the time. I'd like to visit with you," she turned her toothy grin on Edme, the tiny gap in her teeth pressed through slightly with her tongue against it. "We could get butterbeer, or something. Do you have galleons?" Not that Maggie was a freeloader, but, y'know. Eleven-year-olds didn't have a whole lot of money. "God, it's cold out here."

Edme wasn't actually very sure how she came to be in possession of a permission slip. It had just kind of... happened. The main reason they wanted it was to visit the rumored candy shop in Hogsmeade, something they had thankfully gotten to do. It was just as she had built it up to be, but the other hadn't gone down to the place since. It would be nice to visit again.

"Oh, that's good." they replied thankfully.

Their mind travelling to the ideas and considerations for the two going to Hogsmeade. There was so many stores and places Edme still wanted to visit. "Oh, well I can semi-show you around." she smiled back, something she would have preferred not to do if it wasn't for how contagious Maggie's seemed to be. "Only a few. I'm sure it's enough though."

The nip of a breeze still played on the Scottish person's nose, almost taunting them in their need to feel the outdoors. It was relieving, but it was freezing. It wasn't just going to turn spring with the snap of your fingers, Edme realized this, but still she wanted to wake up the next day and see the bright sun hanging in the sky and waving down at the wizards, inviting them to take a stroll out in bright green grass.

"I think it's best we head in soon." they recommended.

XXXXThe chill of the winter nipped at Maggie's nose, turning her skin red and causing her nose to run. Maybe standing out in the cold, doing nothing but let the wind and cold bite at her fingertips and turn her extremities blue, wasn't the best move, but it was anything to make a new friend or two. Sure, Maggie hadn't met many people standing around like this, but getting closer to one Edme Achillian seemed to be in the world's plan for her. After all, it wasn't every day that you collided with someone who you meshed so well with. Hell, the only thing that was similar was the connection to Liana Kerr a few months prior. Honestly, Maggie wasn't sure that this budding friendship with Edme would ever reach the one she felt with Liana, but by golly, was it close! "That's probably for the best," Maggie agreed, wrinkling her nose and shifting, a little sniffle pushed out through her nose. Ugh. "It's too cold. Why does it get so blasted cold out here?" Maggie turned on her heel, shoes dragging through the snow, watching the shoe prints that she had made in walking down here get filled up with a thing coating of powdery, fresh snow. What a day. What a wonderful day. She began the slow trudge back up to the castle, in search of a warm place to sleep. And a bite to eat. Unless stopped, Maggie will exit the thread.

Great Lake

Edme didn't have to be in Ravenclaw to see that Maggie was practically an ice-cube from the bitter air. They hadn't realized how long the two had been out in the chill, and even she would admit to feeling the winter weather down to her feet, so cold they could fall off.

Maggie was a peculiar girl in every good way. Edme couldn't help but feel like the two mixed well, or at least in her view. They had enjoyed just about every moment of speaking with Maggie, words seeming to flow out like water from a glass. But now it was time to go inside and bask in the warmth that Hogwarts provided.

"Winter, I suppose." the Ravenclaw sighed softly, clasping her hands together quietly and rubbing them together for warmth. Soon enough, flowers would be blooming all around and the sun would peak out from behind the clouds to grace the school with it's beauty. But before the rainbow there must be rain.

"Goodnight." Edme smiled softly as Maggie began the walk back to the mucky palace.

For a moment, the Ravenclaw stayed in place to stare at the un-moving water below. As the air clawed at their arms and wetted her eyes, they decided on turning around to follow Maggie's tracks. Maybe the Great Hall had hot chocolate.
