Nika stood and watched everyone as they skated by. Now where did they get skates? As she watched she saw a familiar face. It was Elyon! The first person she had talked to at Hogwarts. She waved at Eylon and smiled. Looks like she had skated before and had experience something that Nika will in no doubt be lacking.
Wrapped up in her gryffindor scarf and gloves, Emily walked through the grounds trying to stay warm. She would have normally spent her time reading in a warm common room, but she had over heard someone mention an ice-skating rink and she just had to check it out!
And sure enough, as she came to the lake, she saw it frozen and people ice-skating on top.
"wow" she breathed.
She noticed Nika by the side of the lake and went over to her.
"Hey. Are you coming on as well?" she asked nodding slightly at the lake.
She had been ice skating a few times with her sister, but she was still scared the ice woudn't take her weight. She hated the though of crashing through the ice into the cold water below.
