Ari sighed when she saw how enthusiastic her friend got about the Three Broomsticks and butterbeer. 'Do you have any idea when the next weekend to Hogsmeade will be?' Ariadne asked.
When she returned from the kitchen, still out of breath, the girl smiled at Nika's comment about being quick. 'Do you think this counts as running for Borr's DADA assignment? I won't be running like this anytime soon.' she chuckled. 'Aha! Look, I think we can use these twigs as hands.' Ari improvised. 'And this still leaves us...in search for a mouth.' she concluded. 'Maybe we can put an enchantment on this snowman, make him special. I used to build a lot of these back home with my Muggle friends, but this one should be different, since we're at Hogwarts. What do you think?'
Nika shrugged and replied with a cool,
"There's always next time." She grinned before the next question was asked. She raised an eyebrow as she thought of the answer.
"Hmm..." Actually she had no idea whatsoever.
"I'm not exactly sure, but I think since we just had one recently the next one should come in a few months. Maybe three months?" She was just throwing out a guess.
"I just hope it's soon because I'm running out of chocolate frogs already!" She ate those things religiously.
Nika smiled and nodded her head,
"Yeah, yeah I reckon you could count it!" Eh, that Lord Borr guy wouldn't care too much. He doesn't put any effort into teaching DADA so why should they put in twice the amount more than him to go out of their way to do the assignments when they could get them done for everyday things. It made a lot more sense this way. Nika looked around to find a mouth, but she was having a hard time finding something that would make a good one. When she heard Ari's comment about making a magical snow man Nika jumped up out of excitement.
"That would be so cool! It could be like our own Frosty the snowman!" Ah, magic is great.
