Not being all bundled up from the cold that honestly was super cold, seriously man how did anyone handle it? The fact that he'd been at Hogwarts for all of four years really didn't make him get used to the vast changes in weather, nah it just seemed to make dealing with it much more difficult. "Of course I can, I mean it does get a bit cold; but not to the point when things freeze. That's just north from where I live. We just get rain and still a bit of heat." That was why he loved winter in Los Angeles, it was just both kind of relaxing and awesome at the same time; but seeing the snow was also kinda cool.. both literally and figuratively. Ice skating huh? Another interesting thing since he had never skated before, though that wasn't something that he was going to mention right now. "That sounds pretty fun, though you know I'll probably still fall over in the process. Skates and I sort of don't get along." He had been referring to roller skates but the same idea applied, either way it was going to be something that he'd never forget.
"Ah yes, I'm not sure why they would call it that. There are more suited names but whatever floats your boat dude, anyway doesn't that start in a couple days or something?" Well he thought so at least, from the last time that he had looked over the announcement in the common room; but there was always a chance that he was wrong. And of course he was going to admit that since he wasn't stubborn by any means. When the conversation went back to talking about OWLs and well exams in general, he attempted to remember exactly how well (or not) he had done on the OWLs. "Well I didn't, but I also didn't do as well as I thought I would. At least this time I'm going to be well prepared and try not to freak out." That was the last thing that he had wanted to have happen, it wasn't that much fun the first time so he hoped that he could do everything in his power to stop it from happening again. "You know.. if you still want help with Runes this term, I can help. I'm taking that and honestly I didn't do too badly last term; ended up with an Acceptable." It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Meh. Even though she wasn't ignorant of the possibility that not everywhere in the world had winters like that she was used to, Stella still found it odd that Matt had the ability to surf even in wintertime. And she simply looked at him as he'd verified that, before smiling. "That sounds nice. Different," she replied. It all only made her even more curious about California, but she knew she wasn't going to get to visit where he lived any time soon. She figured this year she'd go home again for the holidays, and then over the summer she was going to be showing Matt around her world. She still wanted to get to see his eventually, too, though. Her smile grew into more of a grin as he'd responded to her suggestion of ice skating, however. "I'll help you. I mean, you were going to teach me swing dancing this year, the least I can do is teach you how to ice skate. Once it's cold enough, of course," she said. She wasn't afraid of him hurting her, by falling or anything. Hurting himself was another story, but then that was what cushioning charms were for. Not to mention she had a feeling this would be yet another fun plan for this term, as long as they were allowed to skate on the lake again. Or maybe the duck pond.
"It's a type of dance," she continued with a giggle, at his reaction to the name the anniversary event had been given. "That's why I think it's some sort of formal dance, although they really could have just called it a ball. And I think you're right," she concluded, trying to think back to the announcement in the common room. That sounded right, at least, and either way she was excited. Just trying to figure out what the school had planned was intriguing, but they'd find out what that was soon. Right now she'd gone back to her curiosity about his reference to his own OWLs, and she hugged him again as he spoke. "I'm sorry. Is that why you were so determined to help me with mine?," she asked, innocently, before slightly getting off that topic again. "You know I'll help you with your NEWTs. Studying for them, at least." Obviously she couldn't take them for him, and she smiled yet again as he offered to help her with Runes, even though she hadn't really asked."I'd love your help. I don't really want to have to drop Runes, but I'm still not very sure of myself in the subject." Even if he'd only gotten an Acceptable, that still could mean he was better at the subject than she was. Plus, they were going to be studying together anyhow.
