Nam watched as Naomi left and saw the Care of Magical Creatures teacher pass her and approach them. "He's quite well. Though he had a row with the grindylows last week. Bringing it up was a little upsetting, but I think he said it was a territorial dispute. They were trespassing in 'his garden'. Of course, he had simply rearranged their homes while they were away to his liking and claimed them as his own."
He turned his stick fork in his hand and then a question popped into his mind. "Excuse me Professor Blac, do you know of a way to make ice skates?"

'Good to hear he sorted that out with the Grindylows, they had no right to live there. Hmm...' she said, thoughtfully placing her hand on her chin. A million thoguhts on skates were racing through her head in one moment as she tried to discern which ones would be useful in making skates. 'Well making skates seems all fine and dandy until you have to make the blade for them. Would you like to just borrow a pair of mine? Of course,' Blac says, eyeing Nam's fork-like stick, 'I suppose you could make the blade out of wood if it was smooth enough and thin enough... But it would need to be very sturdy to support all your weight.'

Nam smirked in amusement when his teacher agreed with Nerius' actions. Of course nobody liked grindylows, not even the creature-teacher. Ooh, that name has a nice ring. He coined it in his head.
"Borrow yours? You would allow that?" He looked around. "We would appreciate that very much." For some reason he expected her to suddenly withdraw the offer now that he admitted to wanting it, and was prepared for disappointment.
He looked at his pointy metal stick. "A good point. If only I had a pocket knife, I could whittle one into the proper shape."

 Liviana had been silent for some time, and as she rushed further out onto the ice, it became clearer why. In her arms, she carried four medium-sized parcels.
"I really hadn't spent much this term at Hogsmeade, so..." she trailed off, unwrapping the boxes. Four brand new pairs of ice skates sat begging to be used.
She smiled. "I figured we could have some good winter fun before the day it out," she said excitedly.

'Well, it appears Liviana has enough skates for all of you! If you want them later, you can always borrow them, Nam,' said Blac, smiling to him, before turning away and walking to the other side of the lake, where she crouched down and wrote a message of her own to Nerius in the ice.

Meiko walks by the side of the lake and halts. She gets a pebble from the ground and throws it to the lake. "Hmm... I wonder what mum is doing right now?"

Sing smiles and sits down by the riverbank smiling...such a lovely view. It's a bit chilly, so I conjur up a nice warm jacket, and slip it about my shoulders.

Meiko notices the headmistress as she rubs her hands together to warm herself. She approaches her and greets politely. "Good day, professor... It's quite chilly today, isn't it?"

Ciara gazed over at Nam who fiddled with a branch before engaging in conversation with the Care of Magical Creature's professor. She wondered what motives he could possibly have for being so sweet to her.
Ciara dismissed those thoughts as paranoia and shook her head to gather her wits about her, thereby ending her bout of temporary muteness.
"No one's ever done anything like that for me before," she answered after some time. She stared down at her hands before hearing Liviana calling out across the snow covered grounds.
She took in the sight before her, Liviana with gifts nearly bursting out of her arms. She felt her cheeks heat up at hearing that she had gotten them all skates.
She felt a sudden surge of emotion run through her. Perhaps her parents were wrong and she was worth something if so many people were willing to go out of there way to lift her spirits.

Liviana began pulling off her boots and tossing them to the frosted shore. She slipped on a pair of pure white skates, and stood up, wobbling. It had been a while since she had last skated. She cautiously began testing her skills, carving the ice clumsily as she re-taught herself the basics of figure skating.
Liviana realized after a few moments that she was the only one skating. She shakily turned to Nam, Ciara, and Dorian. "C'mon guys," she said, beaming.

No one's ever done anything like that for me before...
Anything like what?
He shuffled uneasily, half-sure of the answer and searching himself for the reason. Before he could say a word, a sweet voice was calling out across the air. "Fantastic, Liviana! That's... insanely generous of you." He was almost too overwhelmed to even lay hands on a pair, and only became more overwhelmed when the teacher who's class he was not in recognized him. "Thanks, professor."
His mind was in a tizzy and everything seemed to be going on around him in fast forward. He didn't even notice Liviana getting out onto the ice at first and lurched when he did. He quickly unwrapped and threw on a pair of skates (revealing his holey black socks), then rushed out onto the 'dance floor', his wand extended and pointed down in front of him, repeatedly chanting under his breath "Glacius, glacius, glacius," thickening the ice much like he was doing some last minute vacuuming for a surprise visit. When he was finished he came back to the shore, ready to escort his sitting friends into the fray.

Meiko nods at the headmistress as she head off somewhere in the school.

Slytherin.First year.
Dorian smiled with gratitude at Liviana and was glad they could all skate now. His cheeks acquired a rosier tone, as though he were blushing. He was just grateful."Liviana...you shouldn't have" He got up, slipped on each skate and stood up. He had progressed a few steps into the ice and he found himself flat on his bum. Dorian giggled and regained an upright position.

Meiko walks outside, with her scarf and robe. She heads off to the side of the lake as usual and looks at the frozen lake, with a vacant expression. She sighs as she thought. "I'm confused right now..."

As i reach the castle doors, i head out and onto the grounds.
I notice it is snowing, it's a very cold day.
I put my hood over my head and walk off to Hogsmeade.
