Image credited to Govoni The Black Lake lies behind the castle and though it may seem like the water is calm on the surface, you will learn that that is not the case underwater. Creatures have made it their home from Merpeople to Grindylows. The most notable is Bartholomew Henry, the Giant Squid. The lake is a beautiful place for you to hang out.
Mr.Kirby has built a dock and lowered a step ladder down into the water. Roping off a small swimming area for Anyone to come take a dip in the Lake. The Ropes also prevents Grindylows and other unwanted magical creatures of the Lake from disturbing your swim. That doesn't mean you won't feel a Fish, or Frog brush past your leg every now and then. The ladder will be absent during Fall and Winter Months, and will not be present until Mid Spring once the weather is warm enough.
So Cinna really needed to get this potions homework done. It was due soon. Of course at the last minute she decided to do it. And there was no one to buddy up with at the point but she was going to find someone
And she did KACE. Yay. So they were going to meet by the lake and knock out this potions homework to together.
Cinna walked down to the lake teeth chattering. Hopefully this wasn't going to take long. And Kace better get here soon before she turns into a Cinna-ice pop.

Kace walked down to the lake to meet Cinna for potions homework. He was working with Marigold on it but she suddenly got ill and couldn't finish it. But that was fine. Things happened. He had Cinna! He was glad he wasn't the only one who did it last minute. He saw her and smiled.
"Hey Cinna!!" he called out over the winds. It was a tad chilly today. Luckily he still had his potion left to make it work. "Let's get this show on the road.." he said showing his potion bottle.
Oh, yeah. You learn a lot of things when you're young. Declan taught himself how to draw at a very young age. None of that in that 'coloring book' nonsense, he let himself do what he willed with his crayons and look at him, now. He supposed his lost his Amateur Artist title when he won those competitions, didn't he? But, he wasn't yet professional or probably won't ever be. Well, enough of that. "Yeah, I guess."
Couldn't afford to get injured? That sounds intense and important in order to not afford to get injured. Was he a model or some sort of celebrity or whatever? "Got something that needs you to keep your body in check?" That sounded weird, but it's too late now. The boy's got beef with the healer? What's up with that? He hasn't been to healer for anything yet, luckily, but she slash he must have done something to make Jun upset, "What's up with the healer here?"
Jun nodded. "I'm in a trainee program to be considered for a music group. Chances are slim, but when the directors feel free I'm ready to debut, gotta stay injured free," Like his sprain ankle he got from winter auditions. Seriously. He'll have to break the guy's ankle who made him step wrong. Yeah, the sight of his ankle made his Ma freak out and send him off to St. Mungos. Even Kai had to carry him out of the building and into the car. But it was better than the broken bones he had before. Oh, right, the healer. "She's really uptight and I hear she's mean. So to not deal with her, I try my best to stay away from there," And it was a no brainer that Slytherin got her as Head of House.
But the 'claws got the librarian so Jun couldn't crack jokes.

Ice skates were designed by the devil. She was sure of it. With their sharp edges, and their serrated stopping-mechanisms it was a wonder no one ever used them to cleave meat. Maybe they were meant to be used by butchers?
She wasn’t sure.
All she was sure about was the fact that she didn’t like that they were on her feet. And yet it was her idea. Her own brilliant and fully stupid idea to strap the metal death shoes onto her feet and stand on ice. Ice that a giant squid lived beneath.
The lake’s placid ice would probably break on her and send her careening to the bottom of the lake…like a tailless merperson. Except she’d freeze before she got there or worse.
Still she had promised her mom in the last letter that she’d get out and do something. Why did something have to be ice-skating? Couldn’t it have been Greek wrestling a snowman?

The wind whipped through the grounds in below freezing temperatures as the snow continued to fall heavily over the grounds. If the little creatures of the forest hadn't taken shelter away from the castle yet then they would meet their end.
As the wind continued to blow across the lake the water began to turn to ice. Soon there was no water left just a big block of ice. The Black Lake was now The Black Frozen Lake.
When the wind and the ice, and the snow happened all Amelia could think to do was well, get out of the snow and into the warmer building. As obviously warmth flowed through the building like blood through a mans veins. She wasn't going to freeze out here - her body had water in it too!
The lake was all frozen suddenly like it had somehow dropped a million degrees out here in an instance. Trudging back through the snow she carefully tried to make her way through the drifts. "Winter isn't coming, it has come" she muttered under her breath as she stepped closer to the building.

Arista normally didn't mind the cold she usually loved it..It had always been so fun to play in wen she was little. She ran through the snow playing she sooo wanted to build a snowman!! Right as soon as her knees hit the ground a sudden chill flew through the air. The lake was frozen and a simple wow escaped her lips. How could that happen so fast. She needed to get inside now!!
She started to run up to the building, hey look there was an older person. Arista ran as fast as her little legs could carry her and stood next to the older girl, "Hey! Can I walk back to the castle with you??" She didn't want to die out here all alone!!

Ohhhh, wow! That was something! "A music group, huh?" That's intense. Well, best of luck to the boy. Declan, himself, didn't really have anything to protect from harm. He only protected his face, because that was precious for him, but he supposed it wasn't vital for his future if anything did happen to it. Maybe he wouldn't flirt as much, but whatevs. What he saw in his future was either being a street artist or in law enforcement and those were both weird dreams.
Hmm...aren't healers suppose to be super nice and stuff? The boy maybe had to go see for himself, although hopefully intact. "Oh, really? Wow. Funny." Luckily, he hadn't severely injured himself at Hogwarts, yet. He's heard Hogwarts can get pretty dangerous at times. BRILLIANT.

"I'm starting to think I have an addiction to candy." Cake and cupcakes were great but not as awesome as candy. She giggled a little.
Emmylou was very grateful to her Raeanne for bringing her to Hogsmeade, it really helped her out in the friends department. "I'm still trying to make friends though, having friends is the best thing ever." And sharing candy when you have enough of it share. The third year nodded with a big grin. "I think that's a great idea, research is always a good thing." Emmylou just wanted to learn how to apparate a lot, it was something that she had always found to be very exciting. "Oh, you're welcome." she said cheerfully. Emmylou couldn't wait to see what one that he had chosen, she really needed to remember which flavors looked like what but there were a few that just looked the same. Like the vomit and the cinnamon one.Then out of nowhere she had a little giggle fit. Nothing was funny though. "I think that one is dirt." She didn't mean to giggle. "At least it wasn't the vomit one. That one tastes just like vomit. I would love to eat the dirt one any day."
Simon chuckled at Emmylou's absolute cute self. How could someone be so sweet? Sweet as sugar itself. Yes. Yes. He was now sure that she was sweeter than sugar itself. Was that even possible? Simon now believed so. He decided that he'd tease the girl. It'd be fun. Teasing was all in good nature. "I've heard that having a candy addiction can be very problematic especially after you finish your Halloween candy," he teased as he wiggled his eyebrows at her. Heh. Yes, he knew about Halloween. His little cousins tried to convince him to go trick or treating last year.
He nodded. "Having friends is much better than being alone," he said rather seriously. It was true. He felt happier having people who accepted him for who he was. It was a nice change. Once she said that research was a good thing, Simon nodded more quickly. Yes, yes, yes. Research was awesome! "I agree." Then he chuckled at her comment. Yes, thank Merlin, that he hadn't gotten vomit or that would've been absolutely gross. Very gross.
"Dirt!? Well let's see if its better than earwax," he explained and took a bite. It didn't taste like dirt.. Hmmm... "This one tastes fruity.. Like cotton candy perhaps? Or maybe I'm imagining the taste and its secretly dirt." The mind was very powerful so that could've happened. His eyes wandered to the Lake and widened when he saw that it was frozen. "Merlin, when did the Lake freeze over?" He shivered. Had it gotten colder too!?

Zander was wearing what felt like A MILLION AND ONE layers of clothes. He could hardly even walk at this point. And when he did, it was one of those awkward uncomfortable walks. Why was he out here again? Who knows. It was probably cabin fever. After staying indoors for so long, he was absolutely desperate to get out. No matter what. So he decided to go visit one of his favorite places, during his not-so-favorite season. Poor choice? Yes.
He walked over to the lake to see if he could find.... FROZEN!? The lake froze. Ugh. Well this is a bummer. Hpmh. Shame. Zander walked away from the frozen ice and decided to play in the snow. Because isn't that what a person does when they're out in the snow? Yeah. Especially a thirteen year old. So getting onto hands and knees Zander began doodling in the snowy ground with a branch. He scribbled out a small heart in which inside he wrote "Bentley", but then quickly scratched through it before anyone could see. Merlin. That'd be embarrassing.
Now it didn't even look like a heart. Phew. All evidence gone.

Burrrrr. Cold cold cold. Kace better get here soon. Before cinnamon turns into a Cinnamon bun ice-pop. Since she had been waiting there the wind had really picked up.
Ahh there he was. She waved at him when he called her out. Ugh she had the sudden urge to blow off the assignment. If wanted to of course. It was due in a few hours anyway she wasn't even sure if they could get it done in time. "How about we blow it off. And do something funnier than homework?" She didn't know what yet.
About that time the winds really stared to pick up. Did the lake just freeze like solid? It looked like it did? Can anyone say ice skating? "You think it's solid enough?" Turning back to Kace. If it was they could totally go ice skating.

Cabin fever. That was the only reason why Lux was venturing out of the castle in a million layers of clothes. As much as she hated the freezing temperatures, there was only so long someone could stay inside before becoming stir crazy.
Wading through the snow with quite some difficulty, she made her way towards the lake before seeing that it was a solid block of ice. How sad. Hopefully Bartholomew was doing okay and the mepeople as well. Somewhere in the depths of that frozen water lay her future friend. Louis so needed to go and get her once the weather warmed up. Deciding that skating on the lake wasn't a good idea, she looked around her, spotting someone else bundled up against the cold.
"Zander!" Her new little buddy from the duelling arena. He was so very adorable. Heading over to him, she could have sworn she saw something written within a heart. But before she could get a proper look, it was erased. "So, what brings you out here? Going crazy in the castle walls like me?" That had to be the only reason he was out here.
And what was that name he had written in the snow? It almost looked like 'Bentley' but no... It couldn't be.

Zander suddnly looked up when he heard his name. He had that look of panic in his eyes that totally said 'i was doing something I probably shouldn't have been doing'. OH NOO! WHO is insane enough to come out here in this weather?! Well... aside from him of course. BUT STILL! No one was supposed to be out here. Or, at least he wasn't expecting anyone else to be out here. Can't a boy just doodle in peace without having to worry about anyone catching a glimpse of what could possible be super embarrassing?? Lux? Oh no. Had she seen--? No... She couldn't have....
"Oh uh, hi, hi Lux," it was kind of hard getting his words through clearly because of his insanely thick scarf. But he managed to get the words out there. A little muffled, sure, but he had managed to speak so that's what counts, right? "Yeah... it.. it sure can get boring in such a huge castle sometimes," Cabin fever for sure. "How... How have you been, Lux?" They hadn't really spoken too much since the Arithmancy lesson and most of that was formal classwork stuff. Actually, come to think of it... They never really had a chance to chat, considering the first time was in between throwing spells at dummies.
And with that he smudged around the snow doodle even more... You know... For extra measure. Just a safety precaution... Ahem. In case....

Was it just her, or did Zander feel awkward? Smiling weakly (even though she was sure he missed it with her scarf in the way), Lux watched as he continued to blot out the evidence. Hmmm, interesting. "So who is the lucky girl?" For surely it WAS a girl and not the Herbology Professor. Of course Bentley was pretty and a very nice woman, but there were lots of girls their age that Zander would have a shot with. The kid was absolutely adorable!
Picking up another stick that was laying nearby, she began making her own doodles in the snow. It was rather fun, and was a way to occupy her time and distract herself from the cold. "I get so very bored sometimes. I've been great though! Besides turning into an ice cube, I've been having a lot of fun this term. What about you? Have you gotten up to anything exciting?" They hadn't really had much of a chance to hang out together yet, and Lux was hoping to change that.
Burrrrr. Cold cold cold. Kace better get here soon. Before cinnamon turns into a Cinnamon bun ice-pop. Since she had been waiting there the wind had really picked up.

As Kace was walking down he noticed Cinna and she looked quite cold. She seemed like she was shivering. As he held out his potion Cinnamon made a suggestion he couldn't refuse. He grinned and nodded. "I agree.." he said putting his potion into his pocket. "It seemed like a lot to do anyways.." he shrugged. He saw her looking at the lake and she must be thinking what he was. "Ermm I think it is solid enough. I looks like a lot of fun to skate on.." He grinned started to run towards it and got his skates out of his backpack.

Oh no. CODE RED. CODE RED. She really HAD seen something. But wait? Who is the lucky girl? So... she didn't know what she saw. Well, not exactly anyway. Zander felt a huge wave of worry cross his face. Was it just him or is this place spinning? Suddenly he was starting to feeeel really hot. Even in the freezing cold temperatures. Without a second though he started peeling off a few layers of clothing throwing around his jumpers and layered shirts. He even threw his scarf off too. But he was still sweating. He couldn't possibly tell Lux the truth. The third year would never look at him the same way again. So... What would he say!? "Oh uh... I... I uh... It's a secret," Yeah a secret! He beamed at his sudden stroke of brilliance. Yeah, secret. Hopefully that'd be enough to satisfy the curious Hufflepuff... But then again... All the girls had Hogwarts seemed to be pretty demanding. Except Bentley. She is perfect.
Zander listened politely as the girl spoke, taking the time to relax a little. This was way too uncomfortable for his liking. And speaking of the cold? He was starting to get cold again... But after making such a dramatic show of peeling off his layers... He felt kind of weird to put them back on again. Maybe he could just do it reaaaaally slowly over the course of the conversation... You know... So Lux wouldn't throw snowballs at him and run away. Because that's a possibility. "Yeah, it has been really cold," he was an icecube too. Especially now. Except he couldn't put his clothes back on... "Um, nothing too exciting," Oh you know just the usual pillow fights with peeves and homework and plotting pranks on the girls even though he didn't want to and lessons and you know the norm. "I guess mostly just a lot of homework, did have a pillow fight with peeves though... and that was interesting," Especially when Bentley came up to the dorms to see the mess.
But then he looked back at Lux and decided he definitely did not need to think any more about Bentley soo, yes he'd turn the tables. "Have you... you done anything exciting?"

Shocked, Lux didn't know what to think as Zander started taking off layers of clothing. "You might get frostbite!" With these temperatures it was a total possibility despite all the layers. What was this boy doing? Did he have a death wish? Shaking her head, she thought about how silly Gryffindors could be. "Do I know who this girl is?" Maybe it was being nosy, but Lux wanted details. "I can help get things started with her if you want. Begin a conversation between the two of you or something." If he was shy - which he clearly was - she could help him ease into it. "For all you know she might like you back."
Nodding, she agreed with his statement that it was really cold outside. So once again... why had he removed those layers of clothing??? Boys could be so very strange at times. Even Bay confused her with some of the things he did. But boys will be boys and all that. Pillow fight with Peeves? What? "Ummm, hold up. Who is Peeves?" Was that the nickname for one of the Gryffindor boys? Because Lux was very lost here. Pillow fights were something strange for her, and she had never been in one before. Maybe they were fun; she'd have to ask Emmy and Cinnamon about them later on.
Had she done anything exciting lately? "Well, I met Unicorns and Centaurs. Oh, and I've had dates with Bay." Maybe Zander wouldn't find the last thing exciting, but she sure did!

Dressed in his warmest clothes, with a scarf tied snugly around his neck, ear muff protecting his ears and a warm woolen beanie protecting his brain cells, Cris stood at the Lake's edge.
Cris couldn't wait to get on the Black Lake...to skate on it!! Yes it had been cold and Cris could see that everything was getting snowed over and freezing up, but he didn't expect the Black Lake to freeze over. He had heard that the Lake was deep and for it to freeze, the temperature would have to drop really drastically for that to happen.
He had run by here a couple of times and seen the surface of the lake, ice up but never did he imagine that the entire lake would freeze up too. But it had happened. The Black Lake was now solid ice. Cris first wondered about the legendary Giant Squid, Bartholomew and wondered whether he was safe. Then he thought about the Merpeople and felt sad for them. Chances are they had to move to warmer climates, away from their beloved homes.
Standing at the water's edge, Cris stared out at the entire lake. Then he sat down on a snow covered rock, put on his ice skates and then gingerly stepped out onto the ice.
Simon chuckled at Emmylou's absolute cute self. How could someone be so sweet? Sweet as sugar itself. Yes. Yes. He was now sure that she was sweeter than sugar itself. Was that even possible? Simon now believed so. He decided that he'd tease the girl. It'd be fun. Teasing was all in good nature. "I've heard that having a candy addiction can be very problematic especially after you finish your Halloween candy," he teased as he wiggled his eyebrows at her. Heh. Yes, he knew about Halloween.

Once she said that research was a good thing, Simon nodded more quickly. Yes, yes, yes. Research was awesome! "I agree." Then he chuckled at her comment. Yes, thank Merlin, that he hadn't gotten vomit or that would've been absolutely gross. Very gross.
"Dirt!? Well let's see if its better than earwax," he explained and took a bite. It didn't taste like dirt.. Hmmm... "This one tastes fruity.. Like cotton candy perhaps? Or maybe I'm imagining the taste and its secretly dirt." The mind was very powerful so that could've happened. His eyes wandered to the Lake and widened when he saw that it was frozen. "Merlin, when did the Lake freeze over?" He shivered. Had it gotten colder too!?
Blink. Blink. Blink. Did he just insult the intake of candy? Blink. Blink. Blink. Whaaaaaaat? Emmylou shook her head. There was nothing wrong with candy! There would never be anything dangerous about candy! No one was to insult candy in front of her or else that would be revoked of their candy eating privileges. This was out of line! She did not have a candy addiction! "I do not have a candy addiction." That just wasn't true. She was offended that someone would even think that she was addicted to candy.
This Simon person had a very good point. "Having friends and being here is so much more fun than not having friends." As she spoke Emmy felt her hair drop into her face. She didn't like that. Emmylou nodded and pushed her long curly blonde hair behind her ears. She wasn't one to have her hair in her face, she was surprised that she had let it get in her face for that long but the conversation was distracting her from what her hair was doing.
What the heck? Where did this coldness come from? It was as if it had come out of nowhere but it had already been very cold so how could it have gotten so much colder? This confused the third year. She didn't like this weather. Emmylou looked over at the lake behind her. "Wow, where did this coldness come from?"

Vesper could not have smiled any wider. She'd just descended from the Seventh Floor...and Professor Flamsteed's office. Naturally...with the lake freezing over, an epic bout of ice skating was about to occur....and she'd had the foresight to invite the Astronomy Professor, since she was running out of time to have Hogwarts' adventures. And everyone always talked about hanging out with him. So, this would be fun? She herself was long overdue, right? Besides, Lottie would be skating with them...and Ves knew her friend would appreciate the man being there.
Mhm.
Toting her skates down to the lake, she paused by the edge to put them on. Skate laces were so annoying. The cold of the ground seeped through the bum of her jeans as she seat to struggle with them...which was better than standing and struggling with them. Ves could've fell and hurt herself that way...Not that she wasn't already taking chances with the now!icy lake. Meh, she wasn't as concerned about that...Yoga had vastly improved her balance.
Also, would the others be showing up soon? She adjusted her ear muffs and scarf. All warm and cozy here. This Ravenclaw was ready to skate.

Grace wasn't too sure how good thing was going to be. She had never been ice skating before, so it was going to be interesting. But she was exciting. The black lake had frozen over and that was just really exciting. She just hoped that she wasn't going to fall on her bum or something, because that would just be really embarrassing. Or at least someone else could fall over her too because then she wouldn't be the only one. After conjuring some ice skates, Grace headed out to the lake. She was all wrapped up, her slytherin scarf wrapped around her neck, and her green and black gloves, and woolly hat on. She didn't want to get cold.
She hummed to herself as she wandered down to the black lake, hoping some other people would be there.

Cris couldn't wait to get on the Black Lake...to skate on it!! Yes it had been cold and Cris could see that everything was getting snowed over and freezing up, but he didn't expect the Black Lake to freeze over. He had heard that the Lake was deep and for it to freeze, the temperature would have to drop really drastically for that to happen.
He had run by here a couple of times and seen the surface of the lake, ice up but never did he imagine that the entire lake would freeze up too. But it had happened. The Black Lake was now solid ice. Cris first wondered about the legendary Giant Squid, Bartholomew and wondered whether he was safe. Then he thought about the Merpeople and felt sad for them. Chances are they had to move to warmer climates, away from their beloved homes.
Standing at the water's edge, Cris stared out at the entire lake. Then he sat down on a snow covered rock, put on his ice skates and then gingerly stepped out onto the ice.
Jasmine had on just about every article of clothing that she owned. It was soooo cold. When she neared the lake, she could see Cris up ahead putting on his skates. She watched as he skated out onto the ice. Shaking her head, Jasmine called out to Cris. "You know we're totally insane, right?" Everyone else was trying to get away from the cold and here they were embracing it.
Sitting down to put on her skates, Jasmine laced them tightly. "I'm not sure how long I can last out here, but I'll give it a try." Stepping onto the ice, Jasmine slowly began to glide over toward Cris. Hopefully skating would warm her up a little bit. "Are you sure this thing is really frozen?" Jasmine had no desire to fall through the ice. She would freeze to death for sure.

Ohhhh, wow! That was something! "A music group, huh?" That's intense. Well, best of luck to the boy. Declan, himself, didn't really have anything to protect from harm. He only protected his face, because that was precious for him, but he supposed it wasn't vital for his future if anything did happen to it. Maybe he wouldn't flirt as much, but whatevs. What he saw in his future was either being a street artist or in law enforcement and those were both weird dreams.
Hmm...aren't healers suppose to be super nice and stuff? The boy maybe had to go see for himself, although hopefully intact. "Oh, really? Wow. Funny." Luckily, he hadn't severely injured himself at Hogwarts, yet. He's heard Hogwarts can get pretty dangerous at times. BRILLIANT.
"Mhm. A new group debuts every two years. One just debuted and it was an all girl one. So maybe the next one is an all boy," Because that's how it worked, right? Jun would have to ask his brother on the details of the new group. Though Jun would probably forget as soon as he got to his dorm to write the letter. Oops.
"Yeah, she's not everyone's cup of tea but we have no other choice. Heard she's made people cry and made them stop eating things they really like," She needed to go. Just as the boy was thinking about something else to say, a harsh and really cold wind blew. "Holy Merlin," Jun pulled his hoodie down lower and hugged himself. Why was this term so freaking cold? Not that he minded; he loved cold weather. But he hadn't brought really heavy clothing since it was never this cold during winters. When it stopped, he looked down at the lake and gave it a weird look.
It was frozen solid this time. Um, okay.

The moment Cris spotted Jasmine walking down to the water's edge, Cris waved and skated towards her. "Well then we won't be the only ones because I see others may have the same idea as us," Cris chuckled at her comment.
Others must have had the same idea as he did, because he could see a few students putting on their skates and gliding onto the ice. "Yes it's safe. That's why I headed out on it first. To check out the ice. The lake is truly frozen solid. The only thing we have to worry about is getting frozen ourselves," Cris informed hoping that she hadn't changed her mind about joining him on the ice.
Then he grinned when she saw what she was wearing. "Uh...how many layers are you wearing? You look warm and cosy and very well cushioned," Cris couldn't help but tease her.
"Here take hold of my hand. Don't worry I won't let you fall," he smiled gently at her.
As he waited for Jasmine, Cris glanced over at a younger student (Grace) who was also on the ice. "Hi there, would you like to join us?" he smiled at the girl.

It was extremely cold outside.
But Kyroh couldn't stay inside forever. He had too much pent up energy from being inside all day long so he had taken to perfecting flips of all kinds. Front flips, back flips, handsprings. BASICALLY being stuck in Hogwarts was turning him into a gymnast. And it was fun and all, BUT he needed FRESH air.
Waddling outside in layers upon layers the brown haired boy made his way over to the lake because.....were kids standing on it? And....skating on it? He watched in slight awe before flopping down on the snow to watch them some more.
