Then, she came across an igloo. An. Igloo. Whaaaat.
She wasn't exactly surprised to see this sort of thing here at school, magic was good for a great many things, after all. However, she wasn't sure if maybe it was quite a real igloo or not. Curious, she reached out her hand and pressed it against the side of the igloo, sliding her fingers across the surface and grinning while they burned with the cold. This was probably her favorite place so far! Obviously the groundskeeper was very smart because he'd even left lovely coats out, she assumed, that people could wear while inside. After all, she hadn't dragged her winter coat out with her today. Xavieria slipped into one but avoided the hood so as to not mess up her hair, then she went inside. He had heard rumors but had not actually seen it for himself yet, his second year fantasies taking him elsewhere and keeping him sufficiently distracted.
At least until lunch time that is.
With a clear schedule - because that History of Magic essay could wait - Derf made his way out to the grounds in search of this igloo he had heard his housemates speaking of. Finding it at a bit of a distance (much approval of the location!) Derf quickened his pace and sprinted the rest of the way, bolting inside and failing to notice that Xavvie was present.
"Woooow," he whispered, wonder clearly reflected in his bright blue eyes as he spun in place to take everything in. "NEAT!" Wait...was this enchanted ice? Like...HOW did this ice come here? Was it conjured ice? Or like...did the groundskeeper lug on this ice out here from the big freezer places in the castle and then just charm it to stay frozen. So many questions were on the tip of Derf tongue - which was actually hanging out of his mouth right now like an eager crup...which also somewhat hanging out due to his mild exhaustion from sprinting and needing some water.
WATER! Ice was just frozen water. He could just lick the wall to re-hydrate!
.....................UH OH.
"AAAAAALP....AAAAAAAAAAAALP!"
