Snow Tracks (OPEN)
[Closed to first 5 people - Elander Stonebirch || Neoma Thora Swallow || Theodore Mordrake]
Scene: The grounds are still covered in crunchy, sparkling snow in the morning of the 6th of Janurary. There is a gentle breeze and a light flurry of snow still falling as the dim sunlight lingers with grey clouds incoming for the next snow fall.
|| Elander took themself outside after breakfast with a journal tucked inside their winter robe displaying Ravenclaw house colors. The first year's blond hair was sticking up in the back because they hadn't been able to find their hat. Probably misplaced or lurking under some books back in the dorm for boys.
Now, what was the young student up to? Ravenclaw things. The first year seemed intent on studying the snow on the ground as they pulled out their hard cover journal. The pages were parted where there was a quill marking a certain spot. If anyone managed to sneak or linger behind them, they would notice on the journal pages were hand drawn animal tracks with their names labelled underneath.
Elander paused and squatted in the snow to peer at what they thought might be a track! "Hmmm....", they pondered. Reaching out, they used the tip of the quill to try to measure the shapes imprinted in the snow. "Maybe.", they murmured to themselves. They began to flip through their journal, looking for something comparative to the print they found. They suddenly stopped flipping pages and pointed at something in the jounral. Comparing what they found in the journal to the print in the snow, the student suddenly sighed. "Just a pygmypuff!", they huffed in disappointment.

Snow Tracks (OPEN)
Winter was doing her normal early morning walkabout, enjoying the lovely snowy weather and morning air. After her visit to the courtyard fountain, she was off to explore further beyond the castle grounds, going wherever her feet would take her. There hadn't been many people outside this early, though most could guess it was due to the nippy temperature, she was sure most people would prefer to keep within the school's walls and stick to the warmth.

After just a tad bit more walking she had noticed a young boy ahead of her, she couldn't quite tell what he was doing. She had seen the young blonde who seemed to be a first year, he was walking when Winters bright red eyes first caught a glimpse of him, but now- now he had been squatting? Though normally she wouldn't just go up to people randomly, curiosity was pulling at her arm and she eventually gave in. Turning her feet in the direction of the boy, she began to walk until she had gotten just close enough to see a single page of his book.
"u-uhm hello, are you alright..? I'm sorry for just walking up out of nowhere but I thought maybe you had lost something in the snow, or something of the sort.." her voice was quiet, though just loud enough to hear clearly. Her head tilted subconsciously as she saw the hand-drawn tracks of different creatures from the grounds of Hogwarts. They were quite well-drawn, so much so they looked as if the animal had printed its paw within the book itself! "oh wow- you drew these?" she grinned slightly at the boy as she saw the names beneath each of the prints. "y-your quite talented if I do say so myself! I wish I could draw that well..!" she was talking out of pure amazement, she couldn't control the compliment and other words that just flowed out of her mouth.
