It was a lovely December morning, and Bailey smiled as she yawned, waking up.
After she pulled on a sweater, she peeked out the window to see that it was snowing!!! A soft fluffy white blanket was all across the grounds, and she could distantly see some smoke twirling up from a distant chimney.
Smiling, Bailey got dressed. She headed down to breakfast, where she enjoyed a steaming pile of pancakes and a cup of tea.
She headed to the kitchen, and made a quick batch of chocolate chip cookies. She liked having food on hand, particularly freshly made food made by her.
It was 8:46 AM when Bailey was finished with the cookies, and was walking out the front door. She had gone back to her dorm and changed into winter clothes. She had her bag with her, and it contained her water bottle, a thermos of hot chocolate she had made while the cookies were in the oven, her wand, her notebooks - one was her journal, one was of cake designs and one was just a notebook. She also had a book to read, her container of still warm cookies, her picnic blanket, and some miscellaneous candy and objects.
Bailey made her way down to by the lake. She laid out the picnic blanket, and dropped her stuff on it. Then bailey promptly flopped into the snow, smiling, and laid there. She stayed in the snow, happy, until a shadow fell across her face. Looking up, Bailey saw the owner of the shadow and it was….

Ah, Sunday. A day he did not use to be crazy about because for a couple of months he had to get up early despite the fact that he had no class to attend. But he had Sunday School to come to, and it was mandatory to attend and pass if he would like to receive his First Communion. There had been time when he almost gave up (simply because of his laziness), but he did not (since Mum and Dad would be mad if they found out the real reason), and now that he was slightly more mature, he was glad with that decision.
There was something missing if he did not receive the Body weekly. Even now that he had an enchanted radio he could use to listen to a live Holy Mass broadcast on Saturday evenings or Sunday mornings, he still lamented how he could not receive the Sacrament of Eucharist and instead had to say the Spiritual Communion prayer.
But now he liked Sundays. As with many people, Marius considered one whole Saturday better than a Sunday, but it was not bad. Nay, it was great. A winter weekend with snow like today was the best, he loved snow. Putting on his trusted green coat, the second year began to explore the outdoor, out from the dorm, the school building, straight to the Hogwarts grounds, further and further, until he saw the Great Lake.
He got company as it turned out; someone else had been here, was still. The person apparently was not there for playing in the snow like him, as she had a picnic blanket and stuff.
And apparently, she was somebody he knew.
"Fancy seeing you alone, Bailey," the Hufflepuff greeted, his tone friendly, but there was something behind it. He did not realise it, nor did he have an intention, but something was amiss in the way he pronounced the word "alone", at least it was slightly stressed. The speaker himself did not even notice this, but one would now know whether or not his listener did.

Having eyes, but not seeing beauty; having ears, but not hearing music; having minds, but not perceiving truth; having hearts that are never moved and therefore never set on fire - these are the things to fear.

Damion was not sure what he was doing up at this hour on a Sunday for crying out loud. But well he was hoping that this day would be better than his other ones. He had had some bad days but he was trying his best to have good faith that behind every rainy day there was a rainbow. He wore something really warm as he made his way to the Great Lake.
Damion was trying to not think much about the younger Gryffindor Boy but well his mind was not being good. His thoughts were going out to him. He couldn’t stop wondering much about Kim. Anyways, he shook his head to get him out of his mind. He was hoping that he would meet someone new. He knew Bailey, well as a friend of Kim’s. He was sort of jealous of her as she got to spend more time with him than he did.
Putting his jealousies aside, he walked to the Great Lake. Pulling his jacket over his chest more, he was making sure he’d stay warm. He didn’t want to catch a cold or worse… fall ill. He smiled as he got closer to the Great Lake. There was Bailey with someone other than Kim. He was sort of sure that Kim would be there, but oh well. He made his way to her and smiled. "Hello Bailey!" He said looking at her. He was happy to see her alone. Well sorta… Anyways, he turned to Marius Brown and smiled. "I don’t think we have met earlier." He said. "I am Damion White." Damion introduced himself. Turning back to Bailey he said "Whats the plan Bailey?" He asked. "And why are we gathered so early in the morning?" He said rubbing his eyes a little.
It passed you up and slipped you by. But we're all bound to end up back to where we started
