Benches have been provided for the students to sit on with friends or for those who want some peace and read their textbook. In the center of the courtyard is an antique fountain surrounded by statues of eagles. |

She winced again, moving slowly over to the area where her books and tea had fallen. "I'm Emily, by the way. But most people call me Emma. I think I've seen you in class before? You're a puffer... right?"
Hopefully the girl wouldn't be offended by that statement. She seemed really nice. The girl seemed to be okay, which was a relief. Lux laughed along with what she said, feeling glad that there would be no need to pay a visit to the Healer. "That is very good, no spilled tea or burns." Tea was a nice drink, especially on a cold day.
She moved to help the girl pick up her fallen things. "Nice to meet you, Emily. I'm Lux... the Puffer." She laughed, not taking any offence to being called that. |

'Doesn't your mam mind?' Donnacha squinted up at his hair, he wasn't really in charge of what happened to his hair, but that didn't bother him much. Except for the curls. He wouldn't mind some curls, but if mam said no it meant no. And the brown really did suit him, it definitely made him look cuter. Elodie didn't call him Cutie for nothing! Girls liking his hair was probably a good thing. Yep. 'And after you should dye it blue!' Like water... and stuff. 'You should.. you should be one of those meta... the morph people. That way you could always change your hair!'
Selene had told him about those people once and Donny was still bummed that he wasn't one of them. Flippers would be cool.
Tie-Dye seemed interested..! Super powers... Truth was that Donny was still waiting for some type of super hero-y stuff to happen.. but Spiderman was bitten by a spider, he could dream! Now..... what to tell Jun.. 'Oh.. just... I can hold my breath for really long.' Yep. No longer than any other person used to swimming a lot, but this would do for now. He was hardly going to jump into the lake to prove it. 'And a few others, but I can't show you. I'm not 'llowed.' Top secret stuff. Jun shook his head. "She lets me do it now. Took a lot of convincing but eventually she gave in," And what a proud moment and day that was. Jun had actually bleached his hair the first time he dyed it. It was a bit easier to get any other color he wanted with blonde hair. Jun touched the few bangs sticking out of his hat. "You think so? Would I be able to pull off blue?" Or purple like Lolli had wanted him to do. Either way, he hadn't really had a bright color like blue or purple. But maybe he should just keep them in dark shades. Just to be careful. "But aren't you born that way? Unless people have discovered how to become one?" Because changing his hair color would be so much easier and no charms required.
Jun raised his eyebrows. "Hold your breath for a long time, and secret powers. Seems like you can have a fun life," Because powers in general were fun.

Emma laughed, accepting the books and parchments that the Hufflepuff girl handed her. "Thank you so much for helping me. It means a lot." She smiled warmly, tossing her frazzled hair back behind her shoulders. She was so glad that the girl hadn't taken offense to being called a puffer. Some of them did, but she felt like it was better than having to say the whole long house name. Shrug. "It's very nice to meet you, Lux. So sorry it had to be during one of these embarrassing times.I totally owe you one" She giggled. "So, what brought you out here in the cold?" |

"It is actually an emission nebula and a star formation region located in the constellation Cygnus. A massive, young star is was causes all the activity in the nebula and twin lobes of super-hot gas stretch outward from the central star to create the 'wings' ... it is a fascinating and breathtaking celestial phenomena..." He lowered his arm to his side and turned his head to look at her. "I could, um, I could show you sometime? With the telescope in the Observatory."
Especially since the way he had just described it really did it no justice. Not particularly looking at one part of the sky, she stared off into the distance, trying to see further than she actually could. Only grey and white clouds filled her vision. Her imagination could make up for the lack of stars and space though, picturing the description of the nebula twin lobe hot gas star snow angel to the best of her ability. It sounded as complicated as it did beautiful.
"I vould like that." she spoke quietly, glancing towards the blond professor with a small smile. Dark eyes lit up a moment later as a thought occurred to her before she scooted around and sat crossed leg next to him. Her jeans were already snow soaked. A minute more wouldn't kill them. "This reminds me. I haff something for you." |

This was nice, you know, not being rejected by someone. Well, Tiberius had never rejected him, but this was different. Not being rejected by someone he was attracted to. Yes. That was what he had meant in his head.
"You...do?" he asked. He probably should sit up for this, right? Probably. Pathetically, he reached both hands out towards her. "Help me up first?"

With an excited nod, cause ESSITEMENT, she moved to grab something from her pocket, yet stopped in a sudden. Oh? "Izchakaytye..." she chuckled mainly to herself, reaching forward to take his hands. Oh, warmer hands. That was nice. Giving them a gentle squeeze to hold on to, she leaned back, tugging him along as she did so.

If there was one good thing that had come out of his back injury it was understanding Medea when she spoke her mother tongue, so his ears were used to hearing this expression. Not that he could repeat it. Maybe some day though. He had learned a tiny bit of Russian while in astronaut training, but languages really weren't his forte. The only language he spoke fluently was mathematics. And science.
And nerd?
With a small groan as he rose like a zombie out of the snow, he found enough balance to be able to let go of her hands. "Bl....bla....blagador....bludgeradaryo tu?" he asked while squinting at her. That didn't sound right at all. He was trying, okay?

Catching herself before she fell back wasn't the only thing she had to try and catch. Hearing Airey attempt to speak her language was as foreign to her as she was to this country at first. Without the lost and confused feeling though. His at least trying warmed her from head to toe with delight. Snow be forgotten! "Blagodaria ti." She corrected softly with a small giggle, reaching in her pocket for the special something. "Or just...blagodaria."
He'd been close enough.
Permanently smiling by now, cheeks still a bit rosy from the weather and a twinkle in her eyes, her hands covered a little something as it was pulled from her coat pocket before she reached them out in front of her. "Hold out your hands." |

"Hold out your hands." Right. The word that sounded like a combination of baloney and bludger. He would try to say it again, but his teeth were chattering a bit too much at the moment. Next time. "I'll try to remember that for next time," he managed to chuckle as he brushed some of the snow of his front and from his dusty-gray-blonde hair.
Her smile definitely made his teeth stop chattering though. "Okaaaaaaaaaay..." he said as he timidly held his hands out towards her, cupping the air and catching some of the falling snow in his hands. Why hadn't he worn mittens? His joints wouldn't be aching so much if he had them on.

His joints wouldn't be aching so much if he had them on. Waiting with bated breath for him to hold out his hands, and even a few seconds after, she made a GRAAAAND gesture of sorta lifting her own hands towards the sky. "Haaaaaaappy birthday!" With a slow-mo woooooosh of a motion downwards, she gently placed the surprise gift in the middle of his cupped hands.
An egg!
...
Surprise!

Surprise! He wasn't entirely sure what to expect - something genuine or something in the form of a prank. Could never tell what was going to happen between the two of them, which always kept things exciting. He liked that about her. Keeping him on his toes. It was insanely....attractive.
His blue eyes followed her movements, ears and cheeks reddening from the fact that she remembered his birthday more than the cold, and widened a bit when he saw... "An egg?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at her. Award for the weirdest and more anticlimactic gift ever goes to you, Medea. Had she heard about his Big Bang lesson from students? Ooooooooooooh.... "Do I...need to crack it open?"
On her head maybe? Heh.

On her head maybe? Heh. Fiddling with her hands upon her lap, she bit her lip and leaned forward an inch, eagerly watching his expression. Yes, it was indeed an egg! And his reaction did not disappoint. On the other hand, her mystery factor was cut short, buuuut fortunately without any loss of excitement. From herself mostly. Observation results of Airey's standpoint?
Unknown yet amusing.

"Perhaps." Watching her curiously, he obviously didn't miss her leaning forward a little and decided to lean towards her a little as well. Not close enough to bump heads or anything. "Perhaps," he repeated, eyebrow arching a little more. "Perhaps I should smash it over your head? Hmmm?"
He wasn't going to do that though, no matter how tempting the thought was.
Looking around for something hard, he found a rock and reached over to grab it and then tapped the egg against it until a crack appeared. It WAS alright that he did that, yeah? He scooted his body around a little so that he was facing her and held the egg in both his hands ready to pull both halves of the shell apart. "Should I be doing this....or catching whatever is inside?"

Eyeing the egg, her suspicious thoughts disappeared once it was cracked against the rock. Having said nothing to stop him from doing so, she went back to fiddling with her hands, anxious for him to pull the two halves apart. Almost there! Almost. Her thoughts stumbled over his question. "Oh, um....actually, here. Hand it to me and hold your hands out." |

"Oh, um....actually, here. Hand it to me and hold your hands out." "Too late," he chuckled. Brain had already thought about it and he had the image in his head of smashing an egg on her lovely head. One point to Flamsteed! And he may or may not have laughed like that muggle Pillsbury Doughboy character when she poked him. Odd reflex.
Again, he was tempted to just tear open the egg and make her catch whatever was inside, but he instead played by the rules and handed it to her before cupping his hands in the air again with a somewhat pained expression on his face as the thought of raw egg in his hands made him squirm.

With her ears still ringing from possibly one of the most adorable laughs she'd ever heard, she gently took the cracked egg, making sure she held it over it's intended target. Yup, this was better. Was he ready? Because she was ready! Skipping the entire fake maneuver of opening the egg upon his nice jacket, her thumbs cracked the egg a little more until she pulled the two halves apart.
A stream of what looked like fairy dust enchantingly poured out from the inside and into the astronomy professor's hands, hovering just a mere inch from them and forming into that of the wonders of space. It may have been no celestial snow angel, but it was wonderful all the same. |

It may have been no celestial snow angel, but it was wonderful all the same. Nearly recoiling his hands at first - because, ew, egg - he was pleasantly surprised when no egg at all fell from the shell. He wasn't too sure what to make of this fairy dust though. Was he supposed to suddenly fly away and fulfill his dream of flying without a broom like that Peter Pan fellow? They did share a slightly similar mentality, never growing up. But Airey's was more about staying young at heart.
But then something AAAAAAAAAAAAAAMAZING happened and he just sat there with his jaw hanging open as a solar system began forming in his hand. IN HIS HAND! HE LITERALLY HAD THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HAND! THIS WAS THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER! The only bad thing about all this was that he could not properly express his excitement without injury his back further. Hopefully the look of complete awe mixed with a cornucopia of other emotions would be enough for now.
Tearing his eyes away from the gift, he stared into Medea's eyes for a few brief moments before leaning forward a bit to give her a soft kiss on the cheek. Pulling back, the biggest grin he had done in a long time spread across his face and he essentially reverted back into a little boy. "THIS IS STELLAR, MEDEA! Honestly the BEST gift I have ever received I love yo...yooooooooooou're sense." Er woah there Flamsteed. WOAH there.
QUICK! New topic. QUESTION! ASK ONE OF THOSE.
"Wherever did you find something like this?"

"Wherever did you find something like this?" It was miraculous the empty egg shells didn't crush in her hands. The nerves from whether or not the gift would still be in tact mixed with wondering if Airey would like it had her as tense as a rock. Or was it the cold doing that? The butterflies though, weren't from snow sitting. And Merlin's beard, they were killer. Killer butterflies! What a combination that was. Though the more she watched him...the more she started to smile.
Great griffins! If tummy butterflies could explode into a million small frantic snidgets, she certainly just experienced it!
Missing the 'could have been' accidental confession hesitation, she breathed a quiet sigh of relief and giggled as she fiddled with the egg shells, able to relax some. "I haff my sources." And that whole nonchalant tone she was going for worked out rather well. Mission success! |

And that whole nonchalant tone she was going for worked out rather well. Mission success! Airey's thoughts were still a jumbled mess over what he had just sort of said and just how incredibly AWESOME this present was. He didn't even know where that thought came from. FAR too soon to be even considering that as an option, yeah? Of course. Despite sitting in the snow, he felt quite hot and in desperate need of a drink of water.
"How very cryptic of you," he chuckled as his gaze returned to the solar system in his hand. This really was incredible spellwork and a part of him wanted to try and pick it apart to figure out how it worked, but the thought of picking apart something so incredibly perfect seemed completely illogical. Maybe he would just lock himself up in the Astrophysics Laboratory and try to replicate the magic himself. Little bit of magic and a little bit of science. Should only take him all night. Assuming he didn't pass out at his work station.
"It's perfect, Medea. Blagodaria."
See? He had remembered.

Some of them did, but she felt like it was better than having to say the whole long house name. Shrug. "It's very nice to meet you, Lux. So sorry it had to be during one of these embarrassing times.I totally owe you one" She giggled. "So, what brought you out here in the cold?" Making sure that the girl got back everything that was hers, Lux gave her a warm smile. "No problem. I know how much of a pain ice can be." She was no stranger to slipping on it, though fortunately most of the time she had only hurt her back slightly as a result.
Laughing along with Emily, she brushed it off. There was no need for her to be embarrassed. "We all fall on the ice, no need to be embarrassed. Do you want to make snow angels with me?" Suddenly she had remembered why she was out here in the first place, and figured that maybe Emily would want to join the fun. |

Suddenly she had remembered why she was out here in the first place, and figured that maybe Emily would want to join the fun. "Yeah. A real pain. Literally." Emma joked, setting her things down on a nearby bench. Luckily, there wasn't any wind so she wasn't too worried about her things flying around all over the place. Oooh. The girl invited her to go play and make snow angels. "I would love to! I've been working on so much homework and have been holed up in the common rooms for too long. I'd be more than happy to let off some steam and make a few snow angels!" She squealed. Today was actually turning out to be awesome. And then maybe afterwards they could go to the kitchens and makes some cookies and cocoa or something. Emma was no stranger to the kitchens.

Lux laughed, glad that at least Emily was able to joke about falling now. "Ooh, have you been to the skating rink yet?" Because she was wanting to go there again some time, and maybe Emily would want to come with her if she wasn't worried about falling over again.
WHOOO, snow angels! "Awesome, a great way for you to get over stinky homework blues!" Plopping herself onto the ground, she started to make a snow angel, waiting for the other girl to join her in the fun. |

Plopping herself onto the ground, she started to make a snow angel, waiting for the other girl to join her in the fun. "I have! It was suuuper fun! I'd love to go again soon before it gets removed or something.." Emma nodded, smiling as she plopped down beside Lux. This was going to be THE BEST DAY EVAAAAAR. "Right? I swear I've been living in the library and the common rooms trying to get all of this stuff done. ESPECIALLY the Ancient Runes homework.." She groaned. That stuff made her head hurt. Now it was time for some snow angels.
Emma laid back, extending her arms and legs back and forth, taking special care to not uproot the snow. That was always important. Messy, sad snow angels were not allowed in Emily Smith's world. No sirree bob. "This is seriously the best! I just love winter, don't you?" |

No sirree bob. "This is seriously the best! I just love winter, don't you?" Lux looked up at all the snowflakes falling as she moved her arms and legs. "I hope they never take it away, because I want to learn how to skate properly." So far she had managed to do it pretty good, but she could still get better. "I found the Ancient Runes hard, but somehow I managed to get only one wrong." It actually amazed her, because she had guessed at least half of the answers and didn't even have any help in doing it.
Finished the first angel, she carefully moved over a little so that she could start on another. "Well, I love playing in snow, but I hate how cold it gets." She did not like the cold at all. |

"I hope they don't anytime soon either. I'm actually pretty good ice skating.. don't let my clumsiness today fool you." Emma joked, smiling as she got up to make another snow angel. "Really? I got a few right.. but also a lot wrong..." She sighed, shrugging. "I don't really mind the cold.. it's the hot that irritates me the most. You can fix cold... but it's harder to fix the heat.." She said, matter of factly.
