  Christmas was swiftly approaching Hogwarts" doors like a blizzard, quite literally as they had a blizzard the night before. Snow now blanketed the grounds and many students from First Years to Seventh Years played in the vast snow. The lake was now turned into an ice skating rink with some teachers transfiguring skates for the kids. Naturally Hermione had to force the boys to go with her as she refused to go by herself. She had expected falling and flailing limbs from the both of them but she instead got Harry gliding across the lake like it was second nature.
