And now she wondered how much convincing it would take to get Lottie to do something like sky diving or bungee jumping with her. The Hogwartian was by no means a coward but she wasn't nearly as much a thrill seeker as Lex. "I think I'll pitch that city to her, but I'm sure we'll end up with that one." Beaches and plenty to do in one week? Yes please. "What did you use to do when you lived there?" Maybe she could get some ideas from her while they were on this.

Ah, yet another person that couldn't stand this winter that was dragging well into months that it shouldn't have been. This was completely understandable. "I'm the same. There's nothing like a good summer to make me happy. Beaches, ice-cream, freedom." None of which this being locked inside a castle offered incase it didn't realize this. It was okay at first, you know, when she thought it wouldn't go more than a week at most but now things were all kinds of ridiculous. Lex shook her head. "Nah, it usually starts warming up before this point. Only time I remember it ever being so cold--and even then it wasn't this bad--was the term the dementors attacked." Of course even then they were allowed outside. This storm needed to get itself together.

They were dropping the Prefect conversation, right? Right. She figured they were so there was no point in really giving a response. Instead she looked forward to what could possibly be discussed while they were enjoying their lunch. "So how come I hardly see you outside of classes and meals?" Lex asked, reaching for the other half of her sandwich. "I mean, before this whole lock in." Basically how she spent her time really. It wasn't every day that Lex saw the Ravenclaw and she went most everywhere.


Jasmine watched Lex's reaction to the possibility of candy. Oh yeah, she was a hardcore candy junkie. No doubt about it. It looked like she was pretty much sold on San Diego too. "What did I do when I lived there?" Jasmine thought about it for a moment. "Well I was younger, so I went to Muggle school.........but I guess you mean what did I do for fun. I hung out with my friends mostly. I went to the beach, swam, rode bikes and went camping every now and then. I've always liked animals so it was fun to go to places like the zoo and Sea World.". Jasmine thought back to those days..........good times.

So as Jasmine assumed, this winter was far beyond the norm around here. Wait, what? Did Lex just say it wasn't this bad when the dementors attacked? Seriously? What was with this place? Obviously Hogwarts wasn't a stranger to high drama. "Um, I'm almost afraid to ask but, there was a dementor attack?" First the zombies in Peru, then this freakishly cold winter and now a dementor attack. Jasmine was starting to wonder what kind of madness she had gotten herself into.

Then Lex asked a question that Jasmine wasn't quite sure how to answer. Now it was her turn to dance around an answer. "Oh they let me out of the tower from time to time", Jasmine said jokingly. "I like to walk or run around the grounds and I spend a lot of time in the Room of Requirement. I like to dance and asked the room for a dance studio. When things get crazy which is often, I go there and practice my dancing." Truthfully, Jasmine hadn't been able to bring herself to go there since Cris left. The memories were just too painful right now. She realized that Lex probably hadn't seen her much because she was always hanging out with Cris.......and now that wasn't an option so Jasmine spent most of her free time in the Common Room or the dorm. Realizing that she had blanked out of the conversation for a moment, Jasmine turned her attention back to Lex. "I like to feed the animals in the playpens too, but I guess I just haven't really been out and about much lately. A girl's gotta eat though so here I am."

Jasmine wondered how she could steer her thoughts in another direction. Thinking about Cris made her sad and since she thought about him most of the time, she stayed sad a lot. Losing her boyfriend and best friend had been harder than Jasmine could ever imagine, but how could she explain that to Lex? Trying to turn the corner on the conversation, Jasmine asked, "What do you like to do around here? What keeps you busy when you're not in class?"
