That was the past, and she had a whole new term to look forward to. Plus, she was no longer the hesitant little first year so trying something new was needed. Minus trying to check out the forest, but she knew better than to attempt that on her board. Tree roots and whatever else was in there. The pathways were a little easier to maneuver.

Any roots there were, in her opinion, grounds for a trick or two, depending on the size, and there were stone pathways too so the chance to practice on many surfaces. If only she’d figured out how she could listen to music, but at least there were birds and other creature sounds to soundtrack her tricks.

Nyle had been walking toward the courtyard with a few flowers tucked carefully in his jacket pocket, his thoughts drifting here and there with the breeze. His fingers lightly brushed the petals, as if trying to decide which one to press for further study and which to preserve as a keepsake, when a sudden movement caught his eye. His gaze snapped toward the source of the motion: a girl in Slytherin, Teagan, he recognized from their shared classes.

Nyle’s blue eyes widened, and his first instinct was to keep walking, to leave her to her practice ... but then the curiosity tugged at him. After shuffling his steps a few times, Nyle decided to approach slowly, careful not to startle her - as if she were some unicorn foal who had stumbled haphazardly onto the Hogwarts grounds. "Hey, that was really good," Nyle called out, his voice friendly but tentative. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously, suddenly aware that he’d probably interrupted her flow. "I, er, I didn't mean to distract you, I just... didn't know skateboards could handle paths like these." He gestured vaguely at the ground beneath their feet, unsure if she even wanted to talk right now.
