"And why, exactly, would you think that, Willy?" Plymouth fixed her with a LOOK, and held the flower up. He moved slowly towards her, then slid it behind her ear. "Perfect. YOU.. always look pretty. But, of course, you got dressed up for me, right? So you look even prettier today. Yes ma'am, you do." Plymouth offered his arm and waited patiently for her to take it.

What was with the LOOKS? It reminded Willow a lot of Evolette for some reason. "I don't know? "Daintily, Willow shrugged her small shoulders at him. "You are boy, Plymouth, and boys often forget things." She would know - she'd grown with four of those, after all.

Smiling at his compliment because it was indeed true, Willow took the arm Morgan was offering her, before touching her rosy bottom lip with her index finger, looking thoughtful. "Where would you like to go first? Honeyduke?"

Admittedly, Willow could use some chocolate.

"Things, sure, but not dates. Hehe. Trust me on that one, me being a boy and all. No boy is going to forget YOU, silly." Plymouth put her hand where he wanted it on her arm and marched her down the street.

"I did say I would buy you some candy, didn't I?" Plymouth opened the door to Honeydukes. He would definitely buy her all the candy she wanted.


... wouldn't it be fun to see Willy on a sugar high? Hehe Yes, yes it would.

Reese nodded her head. "Last year went by so fast," she told him. "And, this year seems like it's going by fast. We've already been in school for a month. Before you know it, we'll be on the train right now." Sighing, she uncrossed her legs and stretched them out in front of her. She didn't want this term to go by fast, because that would mean she would only have one more year of school left before she entered the BIG wizarding world. She wasn't particularly ready for that.

She ran her fingers over one of the little curls on top of Torin's head when he bent his head down towards her. "I think you should grow it out," she repeated. "I would like to see you with curly hair."

He didn't like her talking like that at all. The faster the Term went by the sooner that Reese would graduate. And Reese + Graduation = Sad Torin.

"But you can't graduate next Term, Reese. I won't let you." He wanted to cling to her and never let go. It was bad enough that Tammy was leaving this year, Reese couldn't go too. Then it would just be him and Fyo.

He smiled as she ran her hand over his hair; it sorta tickled. "I'll grow it out if you want me to."

Fallon wandered onto Main Street Hogsmeade with Iris. She was bundled up in her Slythie hat and scarf and her jacket. She smiled at Iris because this was the first time they had gotten to hang out and have girl time/talk. "Gosh! We haven't hung out in like forever!" She said excitedly. She had so many things to tell Iris about!

Iris grinned at Fallon. I know, Can you believe that its already nearly Christmas? ... We gotta get some Christmas shopping done whilst we're here! She smiled and looked in one of the shop windows. where should we go first? I say the Three Broomsticks so we can catch up, but its up to you. Iris kicked some snow as they walked.

"That sounds great! After we catch up then we can start looking for presents for everyone," Fallon said smiling. She started to walk towards the Three Broomsticks with Iris. She was so glad they were finally going to have girl time.

Iris smiled. "that sounds like a plan, Fallon!" Iris said cheerfully as they got to the doors of the three broomsticks. Iris opened the door and lead her and Fallon in there.

Evelyn wandered into the main street, looking around at all the shops and the few people there, tugging her jacket closer to her to keep herself warm. She wasn't able to make it to the last Hogsmeade visit, due to...'Let's just call it personal stuff sha'll we Ev?' the voice said sweetly in her mind. 'Yea, whatever. If you call that personal...'

She walked past a couple girls she recognized from the common room, and overheard something about Christmas. 'Oh, ugh...i forgot. Do i really need to go shopping this year? Who am i going to get gifts for anyway?' she mumbled in her mind, lazily kicking a rock on the ground. Certainly not her parents or little brother. 'Maybe I'll get something for Josh. And Destiny too now that i think about it...'

Mina wander into Hogsmeade and headed toward Main Street. Pulling her cloak close to herself and her scarf tighten wrapped around her neck. How she did love walking about on a December day, the feeling of the coldness seeping through her gloves, the chill in the air. Her trip this day so different than her last, the winter air seemingly adding energy to her.

'Where to first,' she asked herself as she strolled down the snow covered street. She could always stop into Madame Puddifoot's for a cup of tea or maybe a butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks. But first, she did have some shopping to do. All she knew was she must visit Gladrags Wizardwear for possible gifts and Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop for more quills and supplies. Quills..'Oh dear, I forgot to write home, she scolded herself. 'I'm sure the gifts will make up for it.'

Continuing down the street, she noticed a few people in passing. How odd that I've been here for so many months and yet again, I find myself alone. Shaking the voice in her head, she wrapped her arms around herself a little. She really did wish Alice was around, she hadn't seen her first friend here in days and it had been harder than she expected to really make friends.

Letting out a sigh and unwrapping her arms, she shook herself mentally and laughed. Silly girl, when have you ever need to have numerous friends. She really should be so down on herself and realizing her foolishness, she laughed inside and went about her original plan. Retail Therapy

Josh, carefully covered with his winter cloak was wandering in the street alone all over again. He was warapped in the cloak so much that one might thing he was trying to hide from something invisible in the air that was about to strike him. His nose as scarlet as the featurings of his Gryffindor uniform, had become a little bit purplish a moment ago when he slipped while walking on the snow. He remembered himself cursing loudly after that case which caused the girl around to comdemn him. Actually that was the funny part but the cold was preventing him from being as cheerful as usual. Than he saw her : Rose. At least what seemed like her silhouette. There was no way he could miss her hair. Running that way he slipped again but managed his balance. ''Rose, Rosee!'' he called out.

Evelyn was just thinking about checking out Honeydukes when she heard him call from behind. Suddenly smiling widely, she turned around rather quickly, not noticing she was standing on a particularly icy spot. "Hey- Ah!" she started to call out to him, but lost her balanced and slipped, landing right on her tailbone.

Her gaze landed on her shoes, eyes wide and mouth open in shock. "Ow." she whispered, frowning, looking around and hoping that no one noticed that. She stared over at Josh, hoping he didn't see that either but it was useless and a bit silly to think that. She was very obviously sitting on the ground. Standing up slowly so she wouldn't slip again, she noticed that Josh was having a hard time as well keeping his balance, making her laugh.

"Great weather huh?" she asked, amused, brushing the snow off of her dark jeans and part of her jacket.

As he ran there he saw her slip and fall down then cursed again. 'Late, late, late! If i have not been kissing the ice, i could have prevented this' he thought as he speeded up but regretted it as he lost his balance again when he tried to stop near her. Hopefully his legs did not let anything bad happen again and he safely managed his balance once again. ''Are you okay?'' he asked at first place and laughed at her comment on the weather. ''Just like in my dreams'' he said sarcastically, sniffing his purple-red nose and narrowing his eyes because of all the whiteness. Staring at her pretty face, he smiled. It had been some time since their last conversation, alone.

Evelyn laughed again. "Yea, yea i'm fine." she said, tugging her jacket closer to her. She could start to feel the coldness from the snow she fell on soak her jeans and begin to numb her legs. 'Great.' she thought. Now she was beginning to become really cold.

"So how have you been?" she asked smiling at him, walking over and giving him a quick hug.

''I'm doing fine and you?'' Josh happily hugged her back. It was very relieving to see her again. ''Woo you are colder than me'' he looked at her clothes. ''What was that warming charm? There's a warming charm, i know there is...'' he said. He forced his memory to remember what his mother did say as she cast that charm makin ghis clothes all dry the day he accidentally fell in a huge lake. But no words of incantation was returning to his mind. ''I can remember'' he said sadly ''Let's get in a warm place and we can think about it. I dont want you to catch cold.'' he grinned ''That'd be horrible''

"Busy. Pretty, pretty busy." she answered, wringing her hands together. She watched him as he tried to remember the spell to dry clothes off. Of course, she knew what it was and the wand movement but she didn't tell him, instead she just nodded sadly and looped her arm through his.

"Hmm, yea that would be pretty bad." she agreed with him dramatically, laughing a little. "Don't want you to get sick either. Your nose is so red right now." Evelyn giggled. She herself probably looked like a ghost, since her cheeks or nose barely got any redness in the cold. "So where do you want to go?"

''Pretty busy. I see...'' Josh replied ''Busy with kicking others, i suppose.'' Being a clever girl, he was sure that she had been one of the leading students in Slytherin house. Regarding from general idea they seemed to contrast each other: white skin - light brown skin, hazel eyes - black eyes, responsible - careless, practical - lazy, green - red, Slytherin - Gryffindor... so on and everything about her just seemed perfect. He snapped out of his deep thoughts when he felt her arm making him smile with happiness ''Yep, i tend to ger reddish in cold weather but it's okay. I dont get sick easily. There should be more than this to dampen my fire'' he laughed and played some with her long silky hair ''What about that three - four, how many, broomsticks place?''

"The Three Broomsticks?" she asked, looking up at him, then towards the building a little ways down. "Sure, why not." Evelyn smiled, and then started tugging him gently along, scooting even closer to him. He was actually really warm despite the cold appearance. She probably would have hid herself in his jacket if she was aloud to. "So what have you been up to?" she asked as they walked.

''Yeah, three it was. I wonder why three and not two, four or five. Six or seven would be nice, too'' as Rose started to walk tugging him he stopped talking nonsense ''I know that was a really bad one. Maybe my brain is frozen solid.'' For sure, he knew the reason for his twaddling: he got a little bit nervous when she moved closer. Making up his mind again he replied her question before the door of The Three Broomsticks ''Nothing much. There's only one thing new.'' he looked directly at her eyes ''I'm officially a Gryffindor Quidditch player from now on''

"What?" she stopped walking and looked directly at him. "Are...are you serious?" she frowned, but then started to smile. "I-you...that's...wow! That's- Congrats!" she stuttered happily and suddenly jumped and hugged him, kissing him on the cheek. "I knew you would get in! What position are you? Who else is on the team? You should have told me first thing!" she said all at once, still hugging him before pulling back. "Why didn't you tell me first thing, huh?" she raised an eyebrow at him. "This definitely calls for celebration!"

''Yep'' he nodded smiling ''As serious as that Hufflepuff girl when she tried to express how much i disgusted her.'' He watched her stutter before him for the first time as he could remember. That meant she was impressed, yes, she was impressed and Josh was not even expecting she would. He caught and hugged her back when she jumped ''Tha-...'' his breath seemed to leave his lungs for a second preventing him to complete his words of thanks when she kissed him. Then once his breath back he could not keep the joke inside even in a situation like that ''I told ya! I told ya! Didn't i? You did it. Ha ha!''. Hoping that would not annoy her he replied her questions when she pulled back ''I'm one of the chasers. There's Rafe, Ella, the prefect boy and umm... some other people 2 more girls and another boy. I don't remember their names now. '' It was amazing how she could mess with his brain that much. ''Anyway...and i did not tell you as the first thing because the information i already have had about your mood and life is way more important to me'' he smiled at her and pushed the door before him open presenting her inside ''Shall we, ma'am?''

Evelyn stared at him in confusion for a split second, shaking her head at his sudden 'You-Did-It' outburst. "Did what?" she asked, frowning.

"Rafe is on the team? Congrats to him to." she whispered and hastily continued. "And to Ella as well. I'm sure you guys will be great! But I've seen our team in action on the field. You guys better watch out!" Evelyn grinned mischievously, walking slightly into the doorway while turning to face Josh. "We shall."

Snow snow SNOW!!! YAYAY!!!

Alex was practically dancing down the main street of Hogsmeade, all bundled up in a white jacket. She had cute little white snow boots on, practically making her look like a snowflake herself. A white scarf was around her neck, and her hands were clad in soft warm mittens.

Ahh how she loved the Snow. She adored it really, it was the best part of winter. And Hogsmeade looked like a little Christmas town. *sighs* It was all so romantic.. It was a shame Damon wasn't here. Her pretty little mouth turned down a bit. Damon.. She missed him. She missed him alot. More than alot. Next time she saw him, she was going to tackle him into the snow... Or push him cause that would be the most Slytherin thing to do.. Actually she would probably just hug him. Alex giggled, and danced gracefully down the street, hoping that somehow Damon was here.

Reese ran down to Hogsmeade, but it practically looked like she was sliding down the snow not trying to fall face first into the white stuff. The ends of her hair flew against the wind as she ran, but most of her hair was kept in place by the hat she was wearing. Once she made it to the streets, she could finally feel the effects of the coldest in her fingertips. Brrrr. Stuffing her hands inside the pockets of her jacket, she then began to walk down the streets and she was also carefully listening to the crunking sound her boots made when the stepped right into the pretty white snow.
