She took a moment to exchange her sneakers for the skates. "Alright. So..." she took a deep breath and slowly stepped onto the ice with her arms out to balance her. That was the right thing to do, right? "You know, I think Treyen mentioned that." |
iFail, sorry. :/ Quote:
He smiled softly as she twirled, waiting until she was facing him again before talking. "Honestly? I'm really liking it. I've made a lot of new friends. And I actually celebrated my birthday for the first time in years." Because in Merlin's, no one was cool enough to eat a birthday cake with him and blow up balloons. |
Quote:
Haha, and now he could watch her fall too. Or, at least keep her distracted so she wouldn't laugh every time he fell. "Hurry up and put them on." |
Quote:
She then noticed Caroline skating around the rink as well. She hadn't seen her in such a long time! Kurumi skated closer to her Slytherin friend. "Hey," she waved as she came to a graceful stop. |
When Sakura heard that there was ice skating she'd run back to the dorm to change into clothes better suited to skating, and of course to grab her skates. She hadn't thought that she'd be able to use them here but she'd brought everything with her from the states and therefore her skates had been included. She'd never been gladder than now. Getting to the edge, after having run back from the dorms, Sakura hurried to put on her figure skates. This was going to be so much fun! Sakura pushed herself up from her seated position after lacing up her skates, and then started to skate slowly around the ice. She was going slow to pick everything up again and get used to the ice she was on, find out where the imperfections were from other peoples skates, and also so that she didn't knock into anyone. |

Probably came to throw things at people. "Its no problem," she grinned at the younger girl, shuffling on her skates a bit more as Ellie switched out her shoes for skates. Her hands automatically went out when Ellie came out onto the ice, glad that she didn't fall. Good. Her grin widened. "So...gently push off with your back foot and that will send you gliding, but go slow so you don't lose your balance and fall." Skating back a bit, she gave the girl some space to skate, but stayed close enough in case she would have to catch her. "Really? It was fun." It reminded her to see if he wanted to skate again. "Do you skate at all?" Cause if she did, then this really wouldn't be too bad. |

Destiny had no idea what being a wizard had to do with her not having a pair of skates. Besides, last time she talked to Carter, she was sure he told her that he was a muggle. The boy was so confusing and she sometimes wondered why she spoke to him. As Carter sat down on the ice, doing Merlin knows what, Destiny stole a quick glance towards Arya the Raccoon girl and secretly willed her to fall down. It would be even funnier than seeing Carter fall and there would be definite pointing in her direction. When Carter spoke the spell that she knew all too well, thanks to Lies!! |
Quote:
But she really shouldn't be. It wasn't so bad. And so she pushed harder with her left foot, but she didn't want to stray too far away from Arya. And she didn't know how to turn around. Or stop. "No." But she had skates. Heh. "Once, a few years ago, my dad thought it would be a good idea to turn a lake into an ice skating rink. Like this." Like what the groundskeeper had apparently done. "But that had cushioning charms and my mum." Which made it a totally safer situation. "That was the first and last time I've skated." |
My last post for the night <3 Quote:
When he was done fixing his skate and offered a hand, Katie uncrossed her arms to shake his hand as she spoke up, "I've seen you around the Abraxan stables before. It's nice to properly meet you, Patroclus." She had more than likely seen him in several classes, too. But Katie couldn't be absolutely positive of which ones, since she tended to focus more so on her work and what ever the professor was teaching at that time than on her peers. "I'm Katie, and thankfully the boy didn't pull me down. Falling is not nearly as much fun as the skating itself," pushing off gently, Katie slowly started to glide forward just a tiny bit, looking over her shoulder as she waited to see if he would follow suit. "Do you skate much?" |
Quote:
"Your dad sounds cool," she commented lightly. Really, any dad that turned a lake into an ice skating rink was cool in her books. Oh, cushioning charms! Why hadn't she thought of that before. Flicking her wrist, and catching her wand as it slide into her hand, she cast a cushioning charm on the area they would be skating. "There. Now if you fall it won't hurt." She couldn't do anything about the mom situation, but at least professors were here? |
Quote:
Ellie liked this. She put her arms down to hang by her side and took longer strides...or glides?... Arya cast a cushioning charm. Huh. Smart. "Thank you." She hadn't thought of that. She was thinking about cushioning charms..and ice skating..but she didn't put the two and two together. "So, you skate?" It surely seemed that way. |
As soon as Effy heard that people were ice skating on the lake she grabbed her skates and ran outside. She had learned how to skate when she was little, and had immediately fallen in love with it. Getting to the rink, she quickly put on her skates and stepped onto the ice. She did a couple of laps to warm up before doing a double axel. She landed perfectly, her curly red hair blowing around her as she skated backwards for a few feet. Worried that she might hit one of the other students if she tried too many tricks, she turned around began skating around the ice at the same pace as everyone else. |
Quote:
As Ellie relaxed so did Arya, hands going down, and giving Ellie just a bit more space. "No problem." Didn't want to take any trips to the hospital wing. "I skate, fly, ride, swim, climb. You name it and I do it, so long as it cane be done outdoors." Her grin widened a bit at how she responded. "I can do indoor activities as well though. What about you?" |

She let the skates lose momentum until she stopped, then slowly turned around. Now she could go the other way for a bit. And she pushed off again. Wow. Arya was...athletic. "You play Quidditch then?" Because to Ellie, flying=Quidditch. "I haven't ridden anything but a broomstick. Or climbed anything but a ladder. This holiday, however, Dad said we can go climb a mountain." Everest. And then she'll have to tell Little Professor all about it. "Inside activities are fun. Gobstones, Exploding Snap..." Wizarding Chess was NOT on that list, though. That was far too complicated, and Ellie simply didn't have enough patience to learn. |

"Your doing good." She commented lightly. Good enough that Arya didn't even think the younger girl needed her help. Quickly she shook her head. "Nooo, never. Not my cup of tea." Her brothers, and apparently a good few of her friends. "I meant horses when I said ridding, and I climb trees all the time, sometimes I do rock climbing." She preferred trees though. "That sounds like an awesome holiday trip though." Arya had to giggle at their bit of miscommunication. "I was speaking more of muggle activities and sports when I said that, though those games are fun as well." She nodded her head while doing a quick spin. "My dad is trying to teach me wizards chess." And had been for a while now. |

"PARTNEEER!!!" Katie yelled as she skated up to her giggling as she gave her partner in crime hug, she wasn't doing that cause she was her partner though, she had hugged her because Katie was scared she would fall, at least Caroline looked like she was doing so Katie knew that she wouldn't fall over. |
Quote:
Slowly gliding over to the girl, Kurumi walked off the ice and stood next to her. "There is nothing to be afraid of," she smiled as she extended her hand. "I'm Kurumi." |
Quote:
Nothing to be afraid of? Oh, Helena was a coward Slytherin. "I've never actually... tried skating. At all," she said shyly. But maybe... "Will you teach me? I've seen you skate, you're good. Better than me, anyway." |
Quote:
"Well, I am no expert on it, but I think I can at least teach you how to stand up on the ice," she laughed as she took hold of the girl's hands with her own back to the ice. "Okay, let's just take this nice and slow. Baby steps." |
Quote:
She followed the girl slowly. Baby steps, as she just said. It would be great to just stay on the ice without falling... for now. |
Quote:
"We can put some skates on you later," Kurumi nodded feeling her own blades scratch the surface of the ice. Helena was now on the edge of the bank now, just one more step and she would be on the ice. "Now, if you do slip just remember there is no shame in that. I feel loads of times the first time I skated." |
