People began to arrive at the lake to skate and the numbers quickly grew larger. Jasmine watched as Cris began to talk to a number of classmates. Most she had seen around, but some she did not know.
Cris intoduced himself and Jasmine to a pair of Ravenclaws that she had seen in class and around the Common Room. "Hi, I'm Jasmine", she said to them both. She started to realize just how limited her circle if friends was. She really needed to get out more.
When Cris held out his hand, Jasmine took it and they skated on. Then, there was someone that Cris wanted her to meet. He introduced her to Tessa. Ahhhhh, Sander's girlfriend. it was amazing that they had not crossed paths sooner. "Hi Tessa. It's nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you." Jasmine chuckled at Tessa's statement. She was not lacking for confidence, that was for sure.
Cris stood in between
Tessa and
Jasmine as both girls introduced themselves and began talking. Cris smiled. He knew that Jasmine and Tessa would get along really good together. The Strand men, really knew how to pick their ladies. He glanced over to see who else had joined them on the ice and wasn't surprised that more students had come out for a chance to be outdoors having some fun for a change.
"
Hey ladies, look at that Professor Flamsteed is out here with the others too. Let's go and join them, " Cris suggested to both Jasmine and Tessa and skated over to join the snake line, glancing back to see whether they were following him.
"
Ahoy there! Mind if we join you," Cris asked as he skated along with the others. He noticed
Nigel take a fall and would have gone over to assist him up but figured that the boy would take offense to being helped out in front of all the ladies here. So Cris skated by, throwing him a sympthatic look as he did so.
Cris could see another Hufflepuff girl (
Lottie) talking with
Vesper. He hated to admit that he didn't even know her name. Bad Cris. Not knowing the names of your fellow housemates. But Cris figured he still had time to find out. If not this term, than maybe the next.
He had heard
Mo challenge
Kyroh to a race and suspected he was doing that to draw the boy's attention away from his fear of falling. However, Cris had a nasty suspicion, that the younger Ravenclaw wouldn't say no to a race. Heck! it was rare for someone to say no to a challenge like that. That would definitely be an interesting race and from the looks of it, they already had an 'official" cheerleader (
Caterina)
Then another Ravenclaw (
Benjy) joined the group and Cris smiled at him in greeting not knowing his name either. Shake of head again.
Then he skated over to Professor Flamsteed who was in the process of transfiguring his shoes into skates. "
Hello Professor Flamsteed, it's good to see you here. Nice snow suit you have on," Cris grinned over at their Astronomy Professor just as the man lost his footing, took off on the ice and then .....OOOPS!!....bit the
dust the ice. Cris had to admit that the swan dive and belly flop was pretty spectaculer. Maybe an 8 out of 10.
Cris bit his lip, struggling to keep himself from laughing out loud. He quickly skated over to where the Professor had landed and offered him his hand. "
Need a boost up, Professor?" Cris looked innocently at the man as he tried to keep a straight face. No it wouldn't be good to be caught laughing at his Professor.
