"Well obviously! As number one fan and cheerleader, I know my job." Cat thought that was the best idea, too. She stopped bouncing around just long enough to pull her hair down and let it cover her neck, that would help to keep her warmer too. She tapped her face a little to try to bring some color to her cheeks too. Cold. Why was it still so darn cold? She grinned at Mo and bounced over to him, "Not /all/, you still have some, right?" She checked her hand against his face to see if his cheeks were any warmer than hers. "I could bring some, if you need. I'm sure I have more than I thought." It wasn't that she always stole things on purpose, but you know, stuff happened.

"Are you warm enough? I could go now." If he needed her to. She didn't necessarily want to because it was COLD underground, but she would if Mo needed her to. She could brave a bit of cold for him.

He gave her a friendly nod after he heard that she was exploring too. Sometimes it was just nice to get yourself lost in the maze of a school. Well, that was just how Simon felt. He didn't know if she too sympathized with that thought. "Me too. And I can't believe its started snowing inside," he said as he felt a shiver crawl up his back. Brrr.. It was way too cold in here. He needed something warm like tea or hot chocolate for this weather. "I don't think we've met before, I'm Simon. How's it going? I mean- apart from being stuck in the castle?"

Abby smiled at Simon and said "Nice to meet you Simon, I'm Abby and it is going good and yeah i can't believe that all of a sudden it has started to snow inside the castle i mean what is going on and why is it happening" Abby shivered a bit but the ravenclaw in her was full of questions which she knew couldnt possibly be answered

Winter had taken it's tool on all the fleshies in the castle and Peeves had seen more grumpies than he wanted. So he knew exactly what was needing to be done. Pulling a bucket from the broom closet he had set it in the corner of the Great Hall letting the snow collect. Once it was full he flew around trying to figure out who to use it on.

Making his way to the sixth floor he noticed a nice little cozy couple in the corner and another younger couple chatting.

"Oh isn't this sweet. All cozy and warm are we? Out for a little chat? Well Peeves like chatty and cozy, yes he does."

Cackling he started dumping the snow onto their head.

"JINGLE BELLS, STUDENTS SMELL, SNOW FALLS RIGHT AWAY"

"Nice to meet you, Abby!" began Simon and then he was interrupted by the ghost that he least wanted to see today. He rolled his eyes and turned to gaze over at Peeves. Oh dear. Simon scrunched up his nose when he saw Peeves was here. But before he could have time to react, snow was dumped on him. Brrr... He shivered. Thank Merlin, he was wearing his coat. "Are you alright?" he asked Abby, a little worried about the Ravenclaw girl. With a nice little toupee of snow on top of his head, he glanced up at the ghost. "Very funny, Peeves," he said as he shook his head. He'd get that ghost back somehow- if only he could throw the snow at the ghost. "You do enjoy making an entrance huh?" Peeves have ought to have come and made an entrance at their History of Magic class. Now that would have been a sight to see!

Abby smiled at Simon and said "Yeah i am fine a little cold but heck glad i had extra layers on underneath my robes"

Simon gave Abby a grin. "Oh good. I should have put on a couple more layers on before I left my common room. I'm just glad I was wearing my coat," he said chuckling as he dusted the snow off of his shoulders and head. Ah, much better. He shivered and then cast a quick Hot Air Charm. Rubbing his hands to warm them up, he began to feel a tingling sensation in them. Ahh much better.

Mo finally had something sort of generally resembling a hammock made out of the shoestrings he'd brought, and he hung it from the trees. It looked good, and it sort of was able to hold his weight when he leaned heavily against it. Good, right? "Number one fan, hmm? Will you collect my face on trading cards, even?"

He sort of liked that idea. Mo pulled her in for a brief hug, shaking her fingers off his cheeks out of protest. "You can return some of them later. We're about to test out the swing efficiency of this hammock, and I'm not patient enough for you to make any sudden trips."

THERE WAS SNOW EVERYWHERE. IN HIS HAIR, ON HIS TREE, ON HIS CAT... Mo had only just been starting to warm up, and now he was cold again. Not just cold, but shivering wet and chattering teeth. He yelped and looked around wildly for the prankster responsible.

PEEVES. "Get out of here, you menace. You ruiner!" Scooping up the snow from the floor, Mo flung it at the poltergeist, misery and melting causing the snow to slush against the walls instead.

Abby smiled at Simon and said "Yeah i guess we all can't be that lucky i am just hoping that we find a way of stopping this eternal winter" Abby just wanted to get back out into the grounds again

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

His cackling laughter was echoing the corridors. He heard the voices of the students and looked down as one flung snow at him. It went through him and just made him laugh harder.

"Oh that hurt."

He would have been dramatic if he wasn't laughing so hard he started floating towards the floor. Taking the last of the snow in his bucket and flinging it towards the boy (simon) and girl (Abby) before cackling towards the stair well and disappearing.

"Duh, of course I will. I'll collect them all and frame them!" Cat grinned her biggest grin at that. She would too. He shouldn't doubt her.

She still wasn't quite warm enough and no matter how many times she pinched her face, she felt like her cheeks still looked really pale and reflected the inner cold she was feeling, deep down to her bones kind of cold. She needed a fire and a snuggle. It was too bad that she didn't share a common room with her boyfriend. She definitely thought that the heating needed to be turned up a lot, and she was going to add her own charm on to Mo's when all of a sudden there was SNOW on her. Snow. Cold, COLD snow!

Cat stomped her foot and wrapped her arms around herself. "You suck, Peeves!" Luckily the crazy thing had left almost as soon as he'd appeared and Cat definitely increased the heating now because she was all freezing all over again. Brushing the snow out of her hair, Cat gave Mo a pout. "I'm cold." AGAIN!

Simon gave her a slight grin and nodded for he too wished that they could find a way to stop the 'eternal' winter too. "I hope so too. The Professors will find something. They have to," he explained and before he could say anything else, Peeves had dumped snow on both of them again.

SERIOUSLY?

Okay, getting snow thrown at you the second time wasn't too bad as he was already used to the freezing feeling of it all. He shivered and glanced to the Ravenclaw girl next to him. Was she freezing too now? Poor Abby. "You alright? We'll get our revenge back on him one day." Perhaps they ought to go find somewhere warmer and away from Peeves. But the ghost had already left so he decided to stay here and be a little cold because he didn't want to have another encounter with Peeves just yet. "You know, I can't remember the last time we didn't have the cold or the snow around here. I can't even remember when winter started."

Abby shivered she was cold now no thanks to Peeves and smiled at Simon and said "Yeah i am alright and yeah i hope so too and yeah i have no idea how this winter thing started but i just want to get outside again because i am like i said fed up of being stuck inside the castle"

So she was alright? Good. And she hoped that winter would end too? Good as well. He was still looking to see IF anyone was enjoying this winter because then that would help provide information for one of his various theories about the cold itself. But now he was starting to feel as if that theory wasn't going to get him anywhere. He should probably switch up his tactics. But Bad Simon. He was getting distracted. Turning his attention back to Abby, he nodded and frowned. "Yes, its hard being stuck in a castle. Plus now the snow is seeping in which isn't fun at all." He pouted. "Are you used to this cold? Where are you from? If you don't mind me asking... I understand if you do mind me."

Yeah.

Smooth Holden.

Smoooth.

Back to her previous theory, she decided to think of places that everyone used and went to so that they would get warmer and people would appreciate the effort and all. Corridors! Everyone went through corridors. So the charm there would hopefully be helpful and all.

From the entrance she made her ways to the staircases and let those decide to which level she was going since she couldn't decide herself. Surely all corridors were equally walked whether it was to go to classes or other rooms or places. And she needed one last thing to think of so the staircases got to make the decision for her. They liked to take people where they did not intend to go anywhere.

Once they stopped, she found herself on the sixth floor. Shrugging she walked to the corridor and kept walking until she got half way through it then turned to one of the walls. "Caelum Saepio," Infinity sign!

Turning around to go somewhere else, Cassia thought why not cast the spell on both walls. Would be more effective. Turning to the other side she repeated the movement and spoke, "Caelum Saepio," Once she saw the little bit of fog she was satisfied with her work and turned to leave.
