Cold, it was always cold in Winter but something about the dark cloudy afternoon chilled Elena a bit more than normal. Still, she wouldn't go back inside, not to the bustling halls and random crazies that filled the school. Freedom is the most amazing feeling in the world, and peace like this was freedom too, of a sort.
So she sat out on the grounds with her back to a tree and closed her eyes, trying to find a way to sleep. It was her last attempt at sleeping outside on her own before she'd pick herself up and head over to the stables, as much as she wanted help she didn't feel like she should take it. Another hangover of a long life where nobody was out to protect her, she couldn't rely on other people because when they realise that she's not as good as they think, then she'll be alone again.
Instead of a blanket she'd simply brought a banged up looking pillow and an old winter cloak that Elena refused to stop wearing. No matter how many odd looks she got from it being too big for her and from it being a bit more banged up than any first year's coat had a right to be.
Elena closed her eyes and even though she didn't want help, also wished that this experiment would fail.
I'm weak my love.

Walking round the grounds, Rose pulled her hood up against the harsh wind. her head was buzzing with not just thoughts and all the new things she was learning, but also millions of questions. A few weeks on from being sorted, she still couldn't understand why she was a Gryffindor. Yes, she always stood up for herself and (as cheesy as may it sound) what was right, but still. She had been so sure that she was going to get Ravenclaw, she loved to learn new things, experiment, and just be herself.
Rose was quite a shy girl, and preferred to watch things happen. Unless, of course, troublemaking or breaking the rules was involved. For some reason, it came naturally to her. The already very good friends with other girls in her dorm, although they could be a little loud and, well, Gryffindor-ish at times.
As Rose pushed long her hair out her face, she caught sight of a rather odd looking... Lump, for want of a better way to describe. it was sheltering under the tree, probably from the incoming storm. As she approached it, she realised that it was in fact a person, probably a first or second year. "Um, are you ok?" She inquired, wondering why someone appeared to be sleeping outside instead of the castle.

The wind howled but was mostly blocked by Elena's cloak. She managed to close her eyes and was getting towards sleep but then she was woken up by someone. She peered up at her, icy blue eyes scanning the kid next to her, fiery red hair, blue eyes. Definitely the kind of kid that would come out into the cold for no apparent reason and talk to someone that was trying to sleep. Elena might be a tiny bit bitter when she wasn't getting any sleep, and that was why she got up and swung her cloak onto her back. Experiment was a complete failure, because apparently people would brave the cold and howling wind just to wake Elena up.
"I'm fine, I was trying to get some sleep but that experiment failed. Looks like I'm exiled to sleep in the stables forevermore." Elena tried to sound bitter about that, but really was relieved. For some reason the patch of grounds around the stables were warmer than everywhere else, "I figured the cold would deter people, but alas no, it's a curse of mine, to never be left alone to sleep. Neutral meeting you whoever you are, I'm going to go and find somewhere nobody will try and wake me up."
