It was possible though, as with her talent, Skylar was definitely expecting her to make an under seventeen team and she'd hopefully be able to watch those matches as an alum.

Quidditch aside though, it was the question that caught her off guard. What are you doing all the way down here all alone? Wait, who was she to judge? The girl was only a first year, compared to herself, a sixth year. Sixteen. Almost a legal wizarding adult. Okay, so not for like eight months, but still much closer than Emmalyn and she was more than capable of being on her own. She was also not about to confess to the first year that she was running away, because that was the last thing the girl needed was to be terrified of growing up.

"I'm just thinking ... how curious it is that it is necessary for the gates to be locked?" And how to unlock it? Probably a simple alohamora wouldn't work. Also, the girl wouldn't tell on her right? Because she hadn't been doing anything wrong by just standing here, gazing longingly outside the gates.
She walked all the way down to the front gates to think about why the gates were locked?? Emmalyn shuffled her foot against the dirt. Her mind was focused on Skylar, but her body was still in wandering mode. "I would think they are locked to keep unwanted wizards and muggles out." She gave Skylar a puzzled look. "Haven't you heard about the things going on at Hogwarts? Someone or something is leaving paintings and messages all around the castle." Maybe the teenager had been spending far too much time snogging and was oblivious to what was going on around her. She'd seen it happen before with her older cousin. That poor girl was a mess.

She stepped a bit closer and looked out the gates. "Oh, are you maybe waiting for someone?" Her eyes scanned left then right but she couldn't see any movement through the gates. Then it occurred to her that Skylar might just be away from the castle to think about the last quidditch game. Slytherin had not preformed well at all. In fact, they had scored well below all of the other house teams. That would have made her sad too.


She looked back to Skylar, "I'll stay with you until you are ready to go back to the castle, I wouldn't want you feeling lonely while you ponder the meaning of the locked gate." Her smile was sincere and she reached into her right robe pocket and pulled out two wrapped dark chocolate truffles. "Would you like one?" she asked, holding out her hand to offer the treat.
