Dressed warmly Cris made his way down to the Black Lake for their combined Charms and Care of Magical Creatures Lesson. With the occastional snowflake falling from the cloudy sky, Cris would stick out his tongue now and then, to catch one of them.

When Cris reached the Black Lake he was surprised to see that it was completely frozen over. Yes it had been very cold lately, but not enough to freeze this lake which Cris knew to be very deep. Then Cris smiled. There were Winged Horses including a Thestral grazing behind the Professors.

Yes Cris could see them due to having witnessed a tragic accident when he was about ten years old.

But Winged Horses? Like Sander, he loved working with them back home and Cris hoped that was what they would be working with today.

Walking up to both Professors, Cris greeted both of them with a smile. "Good morning, Professor Fuller, Professor Thompson, although it's cold, it's still nice to be outdoors," he greeted both of them. "Professor Fuller, I'm Cristoffer Strand, a transfer from Durmstrang," Cris introduced himself to his Charms Professor.

Tucking his gloved hands into his pocket, Cris then stood aside and waited for the other students to show up for class. Cris figured that he would stand up for now. Standing up was definitely much warmer than sitting down, even if there were soft blanket provided.
