She was too YOUNG to die and she had MANY things to accomplish and LIVES to impact. She shouldn't have to be stressing about freezing to death and Cold ones. She SHOULDN'T but she was.

"People have died here." It was in history books, that part. Surely she knew that much. "And dementors and stopping TIME or something." PAUSE. "My brothers read the Daily Prophet so I've heard all SORTS of things."

The cold WAS a problem. Maddie wasn't a delicate flower or anything but she did enjoy some sunshine and the occasional stroll through the grass with her shoes off. This whole eternal winter thing made that a BIT difficult. Just a BIT. "Maybe people are already working on it. Parents must have gotten suspicious about the lack of letters from their kids." Unless they were TOTALLY aloof...like Maddie's were.


So something reasonably-sized but not too large could get through the windows and into the castle. Huh, that thought was not reassuring. Neither was Maddie's explanation that people had died at Hogwarts and all sorts of other crazy things had happened. "I thought Hogwarts was supposed to be safe? How is the school even still open if so many weird and dangerous things happened?" Hayden hadn't really been up to speed on past occurrences, all her parents told her about was their time at Hogwarts. They hadn't mentioned death or dementors or anything like that.

"People must know there's something weird going on here." The parents thing, and also for other reasons. No one inside the castle could communicate with anyone outside, and that had to be pretty suspicious. "Unless this weather is everywhere, then we're doomed." What if the entire country was covered in a blanket of snow and fierce cold. What would they do then?
