Trying to Warm Up

[Rebekah Moore]

Rebekah was dressed in heavy layers and even had her Ravenclaw robes and everything else from her uniform on, as well as her obvious muggle clothing underneath. She was still freezing from all of that, obviously she was one who quickly got cold. She looked around Hogsmeade as she walked around, looking for a warm place to go inside of. Right now she had nothing on mind and she even wondered how she could get there, being a first year and all. She had heard that only third years and above could go to Hogsmeade, maybe they changed that? Rebekah shrugged the thought off and continued to search, until she figured out that she would rather be in The Three Broomsticks right now. She guessed that it could be much warmer than being outside. It was snowing outside, so the weather was terribly cold.

Once she was inside she shivered from the warmth of the inside hitting her cold body. Her teeth chattered lightly as she looked around, her curly brown hair seemed to be sleek looking and much curlier than usual. Her fair face was slightly pink and felt terribly cold to the touch, her freckles stood out much more than before. She walked further inside, her lanky body still shivering underneath the heavy layers she had on. Rebekah went and order a butterbeer, then held it close to her lips and took a sip, her mittens kept her fingers warm, but they were still rather cold. She looked around for a moment, then started to walk around inside of the room once more.

She stopped near and empty table and took a seat. Rebekah made sure to not sit herself terribly close to the door, so she wouldn't get a horrible draft when the door would open and close. She set her butterbeer down on the table and stared at the table as she continued to shiver. She was the kind of person who got cold easily and stayed that way from quite a while, so it was certain that she would be warm in a little while, but not any time soon.

[Samantha Riddle]

Samantha walked into Hogesmeade with her winter cloak on under that must have been close to 4 or layers of shirts, and socks with a pair of very baggy jeans. She had never really dressed this way but it was cold outside so she had to make do. She sighed softly able to see her very own breath as she walked bythe snow crunching under her snow boots. She rubbed her hands together for a little warmth. *Why do I even try when it feels like -25 degrees? What warmth is there?* She thought to herself. She looked up and saw the Three broomsticks sign and her heart lit up a bit.

She smiled and opened the door the draft going in. She quickly closed it when she heard complaints and walked over to the bar sitting down on the stool. She ordered a Butterbeer in a mug and when she got it she took it taking a sip of it slowly letting it go through her body to find warmth. She shivered slightly her nose having to adjust to the change of weather. She then glanced around for anybody she knew or at least a Hogwarts student. She noticed a Ravenclaw student and sighed. *Now you know I must be low enough to talk to a Ravenclaw.*

She sighed and got up still holding her mug and sat across from her taking another sip. She nodded slowly. "Hey, My name's Samantha. And you?" She asked slowly.

[Rebekah Moore]

Hearing the door crack open she soon felt the draft that came shortly after. Her body shivered quickly at first, which made her look like she was going to have a seizure, but it remained only for a short second. Although, until the door had fully closed she was still shivering lightly, her teeth chattering once more. Rebekah wasn't too prone to cold weather, even though she did enjoy doing winter sports. Why was she so odd to herself? Once she noticed the door had been closed she attempted to make herself stop shivering, it sort of worked. Now she was shivering just a bit, but her teeth were still chattering, not terribly loud though.

While she continued to sit at the same table she looked around for the person that had caused the draft a little while ago. It seemed to be another girl, but she wasn't sure if she was a Hogwarts student; she could really only see her back clearly. Rebekah managed to shrug her shoulders a bit, then took a sip of her butterbeer. Before long she noticed that the girl had looked at her. The girl was definitely a Hogwarts student, but this sort of frightened Rebekah. Was the girl nice, or was she like the girl she'd seen at the lake? The one that had ignored her and in a roundabout way, had threatened her. She decided not to worry about it too much though.

"Hey, My name's Samantha. And you?"

Rebekah had heard that, after she'd watched the girl walk over to the table and sit down across from her. She blinked for a short second, before examining her robes. The girl was a Slytherin. Although, Rebekah wasn't the one to judge another, so she only feared the worst that could possibly happen. She nodded her head lightly and forced a smile upon her lips, seeing as she was still shivering, "Nice to meet you, Samantha. Rebekah Moore." she replied.
