Word has spread pretty fast of the latest tragedy...or was it a tragedy? The black lake had frozen solid, apparently...and to Vesper, this presented a rare opportunity. Ice skating!....Though, she hadn't taken the ice to consider the giant squid or the merpeople. Surely, they had exist routes to safer waters...or something.

Anyway, as she'd dressed to brave the outdoors, a thought occurred to the Ravenclaw. Wouldn't it be super fun to have a certain Star-crossed Professor along for the adventure?! This thought only popped up because she'd heard of his exploits with other students. She'd never gotten her time with Professor Flamsteed and he was an excitable man. Excitable like her. They had the potential to be fast friends, indeed.

So, here she was...outside his office...knocking and beaming from ear to ear.
