Oliver had no idea why he was doing this. Plunging into the lake. He didn’t know why but it sounded like fun. He wasn’t the perfect nerdy kid. He did many other stuff too. He was mostly worried about getting caught. There was no way this was allowed. He walked towards the library where he would meet with someone to plan this out. He walked straight in and decided looking. He was looking for someone, alone in a place where nobody would hear. He decided to head to the back of the library. It was the best place to do something not allowed. There, he found a girl. ”Hey- Uh are we going to be talking about the um- the plunge?” he told the girl. He didn’t want to give too much information just in case she was not who he was looking for. He also did not want to be the reason on why everyone would get caught. After he got his answer, he grabbed a nearby book and started reading. He said in a low voice. ”I’m Oliver. When are we doing the plunge?” he asked her pretending to read. He was really thinking if he should push through with this.

E<sup>bony loved trouble. She was usually quiet and subdued, but that was only because she was anti-social, and was socially awkward when talking to people. It wasn't that she was shy, or that she didn't want to talk and be loud and cause chaos. It wasn't her fault her self esteem was picked away during her childhood. People usually thought Ebony was all studious and nerdy because she was quiet and didn't talk much. That was all going to change.

Besides, it was her second year, and second year is always meant for a bit more trouble. She had yet to experience detention, despite having done most other things you could do in this huge school, so it wouldn't be so bad if they got in trouble. In fact, Ebony was looking for trouble. Hogwarts was going to get a lot more fun. Ebony was ready to break out of her shell.

When she heard a group of people were going to jump into the lake, Ebony was thrilled and decided to join in. If she was to be honest, she was excited. Swimming in her favourite place in the entire of Hogwarts in the cold? What could be better? Ebony loved the cold.

They were meeting here to plan it, so she decided to come and see what trouble they had in store. The girl behind it was a first-year named Ava. Ebony had never really met her, but she was happy to get into trouble with anyone, really.

She saw a couple of people already clustered together in a corner in the quiet Library, talking about something. Since she wasn't tardy for once and hadn't procrastinated, she was sure she didn't miss much. She walked up to them and waved.

"Hi..." she started, and then broke off, not knowing what else to say. After a rather long moment of hesitation, she continued, "are you Ava?"

She looked up to get a better look of the people who were going into that icy lake with her. She was relieved to see Oliver, whom she had met before, and leaned against a bookshelf, more relaxed now that she had seen a friendly face.</sup>

─────Lilliana tried suppressing a grin, but she failed, a few dimples dotting her face. She stood by the entranceway in front of the tall oak doors, glancing around. The girl wasn’t sure whether she was excited or terrified about diving into the lake. She tried not to think too hard about it, because she was sure there would be consequences, but whenever she did, a sweeping sensation whirled throughout her body.

Looking around the room for the people she was planning to meet to prepare for the big event, she took a moment to gaze at her surroundings. It certainly wasn’t the first time that she had been in the Library, and it definitely wouldn’t be the last. She stood on carpet, that stretched far. Nearby were multiple shelves, with books that Lilliana could have spent all day fawning over.

In the corner of the library stood a group of people, slightly obscured from her view. From what she could make out, they looked slightly suspicious, as if they were doing something they weren’t supposed to. Thinking they may also be involved, Lilliana hesitantly walked over to them.

“Hi.” Lilliana said nervously. She hoped she wasn’t talking to the wrong people. “Um…” She trailed off for a minute, face beginning to turn red. “Are you involved in the… lake thing?” Her face was a brilliant hue of scarlet. She offered a smile.

Ava had told me to get over to the library. I had a small idea of what she wanted, but I went anyway. I had heard wispers, of a group of students jumping in the lake. It was December, so that water was for sure going to be freezing cold, but that was fine. As long as it wasn’t skinny dipping… I would do it. There was no way Ava would let anyone chicken out, I knew it. So that meant I was jumping in the lake.

As I wandered in, I saw a group of students, and Ava. I knew none of them, but I wanted to do this. This was weird. Ava had just told everyone to meet up and I guess she never figured the rest out. “Hello! I’m Charlie!” I said, hoping that someone had a plan. “Just to check, are we all here for jumping in the lake?” I asked, keeping my voice low, barely audible when I said jumping in the lake. If some teacher or librarian heard that we would all get detention, for sure. “What are we going to wear? Do we need to bring our own towels?” I asked. I hated the annoying people, but I also hated the people who never planned anything.

Valarie was most definitely unsure about this. Ava had explained the plunge previously to her but that did not reassure her. Valarie took up her bad habit of fiddling with her mass of brown curls. She slowly pulled herself up from her seat in the Ravenclaw common room. She had to do this. Valarie was a nervous first year who most people ignored thanks to her quietness. Maybe this would be a way to make the much needed friends. Valarie walked down the halls slowly before she saw what time it was. Panicked, she began walking much faster. When she reached the library, she could tell she was one of the last people there. Unsure of where they were she wandered around the library until the stream the voices grew louder. She turned a corner and spotted the others. There was more people than she thought there would be. She reached to mess with her curls again but forced her hand back down to her side. She cleared her throat.
“ “Hello, is this the meeting for the polar plunge?” Valarie asked the swarm of students. Nervously, she walked a little closer to Ava, the only person she knew out of all of the students. She waited for someone to respond to her quietly asked question.

I was glad that Ava had actually done some planning. I wasn’t one who was constantly planning every single action, that’s just… overkill. But I loved a good plan, especially one that was well thought out. Like this one. If this flopped, then.. that would be bad. We wanted this to be a big success.

A second girl showed up right after Ava explained everything. Her timing could NOT have been worse. She looked nervous. This girl needs some trouble, with a capital T! I thought. She asked if this was the meeting for the polar plunge planning. “Shhhh… not so loud. But yes. We are all planning to jump in the lake. No chickening out or else…” I said. “I’m Charlie. First year, Ravenclaw. Ava just explained everything, but here’s what she said. Grab a towel, or two. No swimsuits. It’s cold in the lake. Even colder than the air. We won’t spend too much time in the lake, or hypothermia will happen.” I explained quickly and quietly. “December 15th. That’s the day.”

Turning back to the group, I asked one last question. “What time should we meet up? At the lake?” That was a crucial question. Very important.

Turning back to the girl, I realized I didn’t know her name. “What’s your name?” I asked.

Valarie couldn’t have been mosre worried. She must have missed everything Ava said. Everyone else seemed to know and understand what to do. Valarie was about to leave and say she wasn’t interested anymore but then a girl’s voice whispered in her ear:
“Shhhh… not so loud. But yes. We are all planning to jump in the lake. No chickening out or else…” I said. “I’m Charlie. First year, Ravenclaw. Ava just explained everything, but here’s what she said. Grab a towel, or two. No swimsuits. It’s cold in the lake. Even colder than the air. We won’t spend too much time in the lake, or hypothermia will happen.” Great. So she had missed everything. The girl- Charlie- couldn’t have been more helpful. Valarie let out a breath she wasn’t aware she was holding.
“December 15th. That’s the day.” Charlie told her. Valarie offered her a smile. Charlie turned back to the group and asked:
“What time should we meet up? At the lake?” A good question, something Valarie had been wanting to know. Charlie turned back to Valarie.
“What’s your name?”
“Valarie. I’m also a Ravenclaw.” Valarie turned back to the group.
“Um…just to everyone knows…I’m Valarie. I’m a Ravenclaw. And I was wondering if we need to have like a lookout in case of a professor or a prefect.”
