It was somewhat hard to believe the term was already half over. The holidays had come and gone with a great deal of excitement and all to soon for her liking but that was how things happened. She had looked forward to being home and with her family for months and in just a short span of time that felt only like minutes she was back at school.

Lost in her own thoughts, enjoying the view of the grounds, Rylee almost didn't hear Lydia join her out on the balcony until she was beside her. A warm smile graced her lips as she turned her head to look at her friend. "Hi, Lydia. I needed a little bit of fresh air and I really enjoy the view from here." It was one of the places that didn't get that crowded either making it quiet as well.

"That's great! I'm really glad that you like it." She laughed softly nodding in understanding. "I'm trying to figure out a way to not make that happen." Being able to wear her flower crowns all the time no matter what the weather was would be the best thing ever! First she would have to find a way to keep it from not getting destroyed and being a second year still meant she didn't know any spells that would work and if she did... chances were she wasn't at the magical level to be able to cast them.

Seeing Lydia cast bluebell flames into a jar she had brought with her made her smile. That was a smart idea. "What brings you out here into the cold?" Had she wanted some fresh air and quiet too?
