Feeling rubbish about yourself really was the best way to deal with severe weather. Or was that the hours she'd spent outside on the grounds recently? It was something like that.
Elodie pushed open the door, declined her choice to grab herself a drink and went to choose a table to wait at. If she had nothing with her, it wouldn't matter if Lady Kurumi was late. It'd look like she'd only just got here herself.
One elephant.
Two elephant.
Three... Clearing her weekend schedule has been easy seeing as all the eggs in the hatchery had just been laid and were a long ways away from needing her assistance, Kurumi had even found some time to bake something for Elodie. Something for her to take back to the castle at least. She assumed the owner of the Three Broomsticks wouldn't be too pleased with people eating outside food in their establishment.
Pushing open the door and brushing some of the snow off her coat,
Kurumi looked around for second year Elodie and momentarily forgot just how much time had passed until her violet eyes fell on the not-so-second-year girl standing off to the side.
She entirely missed her friend's somber mood and flashed a big BEAMING smile at her. "
Elodie!" she waved before walking over to her and wrapping her up in a hug. "
Congratulations again on becoming a prefect." Because it was worth saying in person this time and not just on parchment. "
I'm so incredibly proud of you! What do you want? My treat."
