She had gone down to the grounds because she figured that it was the best place to hide from this person for a while. The only problem was that it was cold so she couldn't stay outside for that long.

So the redhead was headed back up to the castle so that she could warm up a bit, and possibly take her wrist brace off for a while since it had been bugging her. Lily trudged through the inches of snow on the ground as she reached the courtyard. Instead of trudging through the center of the yard, the third year walked through the bit of covered walkway along the side of the courtyard. Only now did she look up occasionally to watch where she was walking, even to just look for Phoenix, her owl, whom she expected to show up at some point in the day.
