If was a cold day. Snow covering the ground as the students filed out of the school, bundled up in their warmest clothes. The sun was high in the sky, but it's warmth was somewhere, certainly not at the school. It wasn't an ideal day for a Hogsmeade visit, but who would turn it down? At least it wasn't windy, that was always a plus. Still, it would have been better if it was warm. Everything seemed to be frozen. A few girls were whining about how cold it was and if it started snowing their hair would get messed up. Pitiful.
Standing in a group of her friends, Lily waved at Zane as he went off with James and Teddy. They were going to meet her later at the Shrieking Shack. They said they had to go to the joke shop, no doubt to pull some pranks when they got back. She promised them she'd be there, waiting. As they began to walk down the path, she lost sight of her two brothers and her boyfriend. She shrugged, looking at the five other girls. She listened to their conversation. They were talking about the Yule Ball. Great... she thought, eying the girls as the talked about their dates and dresses. "Uh, I gotta go meet James and Teddy..." she said, walking away quickly.
No, she didn't need to be there that early, but she'd do anything to get away from those girls. How can you just keep talking about all those girly things? She tried to talk about Quidditch, but all the girls cared about were the boys on the team. She ducked her head and began to trot away. "Gee, that lot is crazy..." she muttered to herself as she came closer to her destination.
When she came into the small clearing, she stopped quickly. It looked safe. Shrugging, she began to walk closer, climbing through one of the broken windows. It was at least ten degrees warmer in here. She nodded, waiting for a while in the warmer area wouldn't be so bad. She began to edge away from the entrance hall, moving toward the darker portions of the place. She found a room that reminded her of a living room. She found a comfortable looking couch and sat down on it, pulling her knees to her chest. "I'll just get warm and check outside again..." she said softly, closing her eyes and laying her on her knees. A few moments of warmth weren't going to kill her...
