Snow wasn't Noelle's favorite thing, but she wanted to enjoy some time outside in it. The first big snowfall was always the prettiest. This year was no exception. The air was crisp, the light bright from the white. There was just an innocence, a newness.

Noelle headed out and plopped down near the frozen lake. She'd brought her homework and classwork that needed some extra work, but she wasn't in the mood to do them. Instead, she grabbed her wand and pointed them at her shoes.

Testing out her Transfiguration skills, she turned her shoes into skates. Her smile growing. Standing back up, Noelle left her books on the snow and wobbled to the lake. Time to test out these newly made skates.
