SPOILER!!: Missa & Claudine

Heath was still debating whether or not to join the skaters when an unexpected voice called his name. He turned in the direction of the sound and saw… the girl Ravenclaw prefect. What was her name? He was pretty sure it was Misty or Nissa… or something like that. Well, this was embarrassing! She knew his name, but he couldn’t for the life of him recall hers. He blinked, unsure what to make of the invitation. “I don’t know if I should,” he replied, nervously looking around the rink. “I’m not a good skater.”

He’d only tried it once, and it was several years ago when his sister had a Frozen-themed birthday party. Suffice it to say, it ended with him falling on his face in front of a room full of giggling girls. Not an experience he ever wanted to repeat! Maybe he should just go…

Heath started to turn away, but there was another girl speaking to him, one whose name he did remember. Claudine… “Hi,” he replied, removing one hand from his pocket to give her a small wave. Why was it that he remembered her name when he barely remembered anyone else’s? And why was it that he somehow felt more at ease around her? In an instant, all his better judgement went out the window, and the next thing he knew, he was putting on a pair of skates.

For one fleeting moment, Heath thought Claudine was going to ask him to join her, but she mentioned the others instead. That stung a little - okay, a lot more than he wanted to admit. He looked down, pretending to re-tie one of his skate laces lest his eyes betray how much he wanted to join her. “Probably not,” he said, once again looking out at the rink. “It looks like everyone’s already paired off. I doubt they’d want me intruding.” He shrugged, running a hand through his long dark hair. “I guess I’m on my own…”

"I promise it's not that hard once you get the hang of it" she repeated a thing, her dad used to say constantly while teaching her. "You just need to tell yourself to not be ... scared, y'know" Speaking of scared, and hanging on to the wall - she also noticed someone else doing the same, only he wasn't even trying to come into the rink. "Heath, is it?" Come on in, the skates are right over there" she called out, encouraging the boy to join them. Quote: Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 Ice skating.

Still, it was her aim that day to go skating by herself and was pleased to see that the rink wasn’t too crowded. It was perfect for her to glide around for ten or fifteen minutes. The girl deposited her skates on the ground next to a fellow student. He looked familiar but Claudine couldn’t quite put her mind on his name. “Hi,’’ she said, briefly checking to see if he was as translucent as she was. The Snakette eased herself onto the cold ground {good thing she was all bundled up for warmth} and began swapping her current footwear for the skates. “Going to join the others on the rink?” Not her but the others.
