" You know I must be doing a lot of these wrongs because a lot of my friends are not talking to me anymore, but I really do not know why" Rex sighed.

"Are you okay down there?" he chuckled and ruffled his hair so she would get snow on her. Because... Well, he didn't really need a 'because'.

Hyun glared at the blonde girl with folded arms and a pout on his lips. But soon his glare faded away and was replaced by a grin. Hogwarts really wasn't so bad after all.. But he did NOT like the fact the girl was laughing at him for falling down!
Hmpf!

"Nah Na Nah na boo boo you can't catch me!" This was fun! She forgot to look where she was going and wasn't paying any attention. And she slipped. "Heh, oops" Her only thoughts were "gotta get up. Before. Emily. Can. Get. To. Me."

Red had a problem? Oh my glitter what was it. Emma didnt talk to him?! WHAT THE HELL?!"Did you try talking to her ?",she asked wrinkling her forehead.That was weird."You are not doing anything wrong",the blonde shook her head,"maybe she is just busy?"
Emma had disappeared lately, it would only be logical if she was busy.



Fee just chuckled at her best friend."You knoooow you could have hurted meeeee",she pouted a little.What a meanie best friend.But no matter what the blonde loved him too much to be mad at him.Siiiiigh.That was sooo typical, Alexi had her sooo wrapped around his finger.

"Ahhhhhh snooooowww",she squealed.What was wrong with that guy?!Seriously,now she was wet in the face. Her MAAAAAKE UP!!"Nooo i am not",the second year grumbled,"you got me wet and i am laying under you on the ice."
But she fouldnt stay angry at him.That was impossible.Daaamn, not cool."But i love you.",the girl smiled and sighed about herself in her head.



Heeeyyyy why that he glare at Fee?!She didnt do anything right? Noooooooo please dont hate me."Heeeyyy dont pout",she smiled,"are you okay over there?"He got her hair wet and now he was mad at her?! That made no sense really.Tsk, guys.

She was good at pretty much any sport, including ice skating, and even though she only did it a few times during the winter, she was still solid and balanced on her skates. As long as she didn't get too confident and start to show off, of course. "What about you? Do you go skating a lot?"

She was a pretty sportly girl, guess that came from being her brothers shadow. Caroline skated around with Ava jade "This is alot better than getting ran down by first and second years in the corridor" As a younger student fell in front of both of them "You can skate around them here" She giggled.

"I love ice skating. Summer weather is the best, but sometimes gliding over ice makes me almost love winter..." She laughed.

Only a few times at the indoor rink that was downtown close to where she lived in South Carolina. She wasn't sure if she had lost the ice-skating touch that was once there. It wasn't as if she was totally suck-ish at balancing, but she certainly wasn't an expert either. Ehh she would vote for somewhere in between.

The young lady arrived down at the lake and took off her purple Uggs and replaced them with the white pair of skates she had got off one of her fellow roomies who shared the same shoe size. Sadie was hesitant to leave her precious shoes all by themselves considering how expensive they were. If someone really wanted them though, she did have a pink pair in her dorm. The tall blonde fixed the glittery silver headband and then carefully stood up and made her way to the ice.

She slowly set a foot on the ice and then the other, doing her best to stay upright and not topple over like she just witnessed so many kids do. One foot in front of the other, baby steps, she thought to herself. She put her arms out for balance and slowly picked up speed. Her eyes were on her feet because she was afraid she was going trip over them. What if this ice broke?! Meeeep! There were a lot of kids and who knew how much weight it could hold. Or what if the giant squi----

BAM!

She squealed and realized she had just run into another kid. The girl fell down on the cold ice and looked over to see who she had just hit....

He was so proud of himelf, he would've patted himself on the back but he was too scared of losing the bit of balance he had worked so hard to gather. Slowly, he began to move away from the boards around the edges of the ice. It was time for the next level - he needed to skate over to the middle of the rink, where everyone else was and where there was nothing to hold onto (except fellow students, but Braeden was hoping dearly he wouldn't need to hold on to someone's hair or something to keep himself from falling).

He was doing it! Sure, he was going a bit slow (actually, turtle-like slow), but he was doing it! The longer he spent on the ice, the more the boy seemed to remember how to skate, how to move smoothly over the ice and pick up speed. He remembered the on-ice races he'd hold with his little sister and wondered where all that skill had gone. Perhaps it had disappeared in the last year that he hadn't done any ice skating. But he was getting it back now, and that was all that-- CRASH!

And now Braeden lay face-down on the ice.
Oh. Yeah. That… yeah, that hadn't been a nice fall. He wasn't sure what exactly had happened, but all of a sudden he felt himself being pushed forward and his forehead hitting the ice. Owww… Oddly enough, though, the cold of the ice seemed to numb out the pain. Along with the rest of his face.

With difficulty, the Gryffindor boy turned and sat up on the ice, rubbing his forehead with a gloved hand before opening his brown eyes. ALRIGHT. Who thought it would be funny to push him onto the ice like that?! He looked around for the culprit but instead found a pretty blonde girl down on the ice looking as puzzled as he did. Oh Merlin. Girl down! Oh no. Braeden to the rescue! Quickly, the clumsy Gryffindor boy managed to get back up to his feet, wobbling for a second before gaining balance and approaching the girl he could only assume had been the one to crash into him a second ago.

"Are you alright?" asked the boy, his breath leaving traces of warmth in the cold air as he held out a gloved hand to the blonde girl. Eep. Hopefully he hadn't killed her (yeah 'cause this was totally his fault... guilty conscience attacks again).

It was a lovely, chilly day at Hogwarts. The lake had caught a particularly nice frost that had made the ice ripe for skating. Deus had been here for an hour or so, taking a break from his studies as he raced about and expertly dodged the mountain of students that had arrived to partake in the fun. Feeling a bit brave, especially since he had completed the feat so expertly before, Amadeus began skating backwards and took a deep breath as he closed his eyes momentarily, planning to do a twirl, jump, and swan dive. It would be just as graceful and exhilarating as the last time. Bracing himself, Amadeus made to turn and twirl but something went horribly, utterly wrong.

Amadeus did indeed jump and fly, but not as he had wished. He had tripped over something much larger than a small rock and had flown backwards, landing flat on his bum. His gloved hands supported him as they attempted to grip the ice, his perfectly coiffed hair now untidy as a few yellow curls hung loosely onto his forehead. Amadeus's passive facial expression turned into one of severe irritation as he looked up to see what had caused his epic failure.

It was a girl, one with blonde curls, that Deus had never seen in his life. She sat on the ice in nearly the same position that Amadeus did. Near her stood a boy heavily covered in his winter attire. Something about that tall, lanky figure looked familiar. The Ravenclaw's face began to color, the pink on his cheeks from the biting cold morphing into a deep red as his temper rose. "What in Merlin's name...?!" He viciously muttered, his voice growing louder so the imbeciles could hear his wrath.

Where had that come from?! Alright, this ice skating rink was getting just a little too dangerous - first the blonde girl knocks him over, now this third person throws himself at them and nearly kills them. Merlin.

After regaining his composure, Braeden figured he might as well be nice and ask the newcomer if he was alright; however, before a word could leave his lips, the tall young man was speaking with such venom in his voice and wrath in his tone that Braeden recognized him right away. Amadeus Kipling. Now Braeden's face lit up and he eagerly offered his friend a hand. "Deus! Are you alright!?" he asked, flashing his friend one of his lopsided smiles, though there was a hint of concern in the brown of his eyes. "Merlin, mate. What are you on, a suicide mission?"

Amadeus rose an eyebrow at the familiar voice. At the student's use of his nickname, face contorted into such a mask of rage that woodland creatures, like Bambi and Thumper and their little friends, would be terrified at the sight of the angered seventh year. "No. I am not alright. Far from it, Stonem." He seemed to hiss out his words, the Slytherin in his personality making an appearance. Placing his feet firmly on the ice, he sprang up, his fists clenched. The Gryffindor was in for it. Now that Amadeus had finally found Braeden, his mission was one of murder rather than suicide.

"Did you know that I sent you forty-seven owls?" He spoke viciously. Thankfully, he had left his wand in his dorm, so no magical harm would be done to anyone in the vicinity if Amadeus became too riled up. "Where have you been?" His narrowed, blue eyes traveled once more to the girl on the ice and he pursed his lips. "Acting like a hussy, I see?" The Ravenclaw crossed his arms over his chest and shot daggers at Braeden, who was a mere few feet away.

Braeden's goofy smile was wiped right off his face and replaced instead by a startled expression when Amadeus ignored his offer of a hand and instead hissed at him in the most frightening of ways. Aw man… poor Brae was in for it now. Looking completely uneasy as he watched his friend's temper grow so high and heated that he could melt the ice they stood on, the boy took a couple steps back. Yeah, Deus was not very welcoming when he was mad.

Forty-seven owls!? What in the world was he talking ab-- OH. Oohhh. Oh. Oh Merlin. "I--I-- It was cold last night! You couldn't have possibly expected me to keep the window open all night!" said Braeden in his defense. He had wanted to keep the window open, he really did, but his roommates were all threatening to throw him out of it if he didn't close it. All the snow was getting in and no one was very happy. It was understandable. Not to Deus, though, it seemed.

"I've been here! I went to look fo--" A hussy?! Braeden's jaw dropped. Hey, that wasn't very nice! But it was no use arguing with Deus when he was in one of his 'moods'. "I--I--I was hoping I'd meet you here, I mean… I just-- she fell, I had to help her up!" explained the Gryffindor boy, who seemed to shrink in size the more Deus scolded him. Surely his best mate didn't think he had forgotten about their plans just to go meet girls or something! Deus knew him; he should've known Brae wasn't like that. Boo hoo. He was hurting the little lion's feelings; the poor boy looked like he had just been slapped across the face.

"You're not seriously upset, are you?" he asked in a low voice, warily. Of course Deus was upset. But Braeden still held hope that this was only his friend kidding around not being honestly, truly angry with him.

He almost felt bad for the random girl caught in between the lovers' quarrel, but now was no time to feel sympathy for strangers that Amadeus had never met, "What do you think?" He gritted his teeth, raising an eyebrow as he wordlessly dared Braeden to respond with another silly question. Wasn't it obvious that the Ravenclaw was in a rage? He didn't cross his arms over his chest for just anyone, or get into public spats, at that. Deep inside, Amadeus knew that it was only logical for Braeden to have shut his window the night before and to have waited to speak to Deus later, but the impatient Ravenclaw wouldn't stand for any impudence. "Couldn't you have sent me an owl back telling me that it was time for you to turn in?" He inquired, taking a step forward until the only thing separating them was the poor girl caught in the middle.

"I would have understood... Brae." He returned to calling the Gryffindor by his nickname, which was a good thing. When Amadeus called Braeden by his last name, you knew that things were getting ugly.

Well.. he thought… he thought he was lucky to be alive; why hadn't Deus pulled out his wand and hexed him right then and there? Whatever the reason was (which was that Deus had left his wand, but Braeden didn't know this), the Gryffindor boy was thankful for it. Because he didn't want to die. He was still too young. In the end, the boy thought it was probably best not to answer Deus's question and give him any more reasons to continue with this scene. But then the Ravenclaw was asking him why he didn't send an owl telling him it was time for him to turn in.

"I… I dunno, I guess I was just so tired…." muttered Braeden. Alright, alright, maybe Deus had a point there. But then again, Braeden hadn't been expecting his best mate to take a lack of immediate response this bad. Merlin… forty-seven owls… He should've known, though. This was Deus. He came first, and then came the rest of the world. "Sorry," muttered the Gryffindor boy, his guilty brown eyes staring at the ice while a gloved hand scratched at the back of his neck awkwardly.

And then came Deus's final words. He would've understood… Brae? Brae?! As in-- Braeden, but short?!
Braeden's gaze shot up from the ice and met his friend's blue eyes with the goofiest and most lopsided of grins adorning his expression. He could've just burst into tears right then and there, ever the sentimental dork. "So… you're not going to hate me for life? Set my skates on fire? Tear that picture of us sunburnt at Ferdinandea?" asked a sparkly-eyed Braeden.
