What with the tantrum that had caused her to fall awkwardly on her ankle. But never mind that, Katie wasn't going to allow her thoughts to drift in that direction. She was going to skate, no serious practicing, and just have fun.
Or that was the plan at least. Arriving at the partially frozen lake, Katie took her time to pull on her skates and lace them up, making sure they were good and tight, her shoes being shoved into her backpack that she left out of the way, off to one side before stepping out onto the slick ice surface.
Staking on the Frozen Lake' had ripped through the school like wildfire, and there was noway Patroclus going to miss out on it.
Having run from the Great Hall, to the Seventh Floor to grab his skates, back down and across the grounds, it was little wonder that the Prefect arrived by the lake side, panting for breathe. But even that was not going to stop him, infact it had been a warm up.
Flopping himself down on the ground, Patroclus ripped on his boots, and shoved his feet into his stakes. Jumping to his feet, he bunny ran to the lake's edge and placed his skates on the ice, one at a time. However he hadn't tied the left boot all that tight, and the next thing he knew, his arms were waving in the air like windmills, trying to balance himself.
Seconds from falling, he reached out and grabbed the closest thing he could.....let did he know it was the arm of a Hufflepuff student.
