wintery visits

[peterxy]

 So it goes.

Sadde doesn't come up with a good idea for a club for most Slytherins. Their intersecting interests seem to lie in the vicinity of "Pureblood club" and that's something Sadde will not support. They haven't managed to befriend all firsties, but their consistent association with the Ravenclaws coupled with helping people out pretty consistently has gotten most people to give them the benefit of the doubt. The trickster-ish streak does mean people are a bit confused about them, though.

Older Slytherins are still pretty resolutely against Sadde, but that's not too bad, and it's only been three and a half months.

(Also, Sadde has managed to not ask Miranda about her plans for a month and a half. Even if the curiosity is eating them inside.)

And Winter Holidays are next week.

They are:

in the Great Hall.

"So, whatcha gonna do next week?"

[msmaxwell]

"My parents wanna go to the French Alps to ski so I'll probably be inside a cabin reading while they do that."

[pleating]

"You don't like skiing?"

[msmaxwell]

She puts a foot on the chair then draws her robes up to show her knees, or rather the knee protectors she's wearing. "I would probably end up getting buried in snow in the kiddies' lane. Actually has happened once."

[chanuphis]

"Do you just wear those all the time? I never noticed."

[msmaxwell]

"Yeah, under my robes. Otherwise I’d get scraped knees and elbows all the time. Look,” she says, and shows the palms of her hands, where there are some healing scrapes.

[chanuphis]

"Are you clumsier than me or just more careless?"

[msmaxwell]

"More careless. I only trip on stuff that actually exists," she giggles.

[chanuphis]

"Anyway, I'm just going home for the hols. I will probably receive books."

[pleating]

"I will also probably receive books! While at home. For the hols."

[mrwoods]

"Where do you live, Karen? And wanna do something together during the hols, Miranda? Like I could visit you in your magic house with your magic mum and magic decorations."

They might notice that there's a slight hint of interest of Sadde's part in magic holidays.

[pleating]

"I live in Nottingham."

[chanuphis]

"Maybe on Christmas Eve?"

[mrwoods]

"That's far!" he complains at Karen. "And yes, Christmas Eve sounds good to me!"

[pleating]

"Do you not have Floo hooked up at your house?"

[chanuphis]

"It's worth getting if you have a fireplace," Miranda says. "Anyway, I'll owl you to let you know when to be over on Christmas Eve."

[mrwoods]

"I don't have a fireplace," he says. "It barely has enough space for humans there as is."

[chanuphis]

"Oh well."

[mrwoods]

He shrugs. "Public transportation's pretty good."

[pleating]

"Where do you live?"

[mrwoods]

"London! In a teeny tiny apartment in Walthamstow."

[pleating]

"Oh, so it'll at least be easy for you to visit Miranda. What about you, Willow?"

[msmaxwell]

"We live in Oxford, mum teaches there."

[chanuphis]

"Sadde, if you want to come over and use our Floo to get wherever else, Renée won't mind."

[mrwoods]

"I don't have anywhere else in mind, other than probably visiting Karen. Although we could all spend Christmas Eve together! Except for Willow who'll be being bored out of her mind in France."
