Bette had been returning from the owlrey when it began to snow, soft tiny flakes. However, during her time back to the main courtyard, the flakes were large and sticking to the ground. She smiled at the other students, running around and hollering about the first snow of the year. But, there was another student that was just standing outside, looking in awe. As Bette got closer to the front door, she could make out the auburn hair of Bart Allen, from Ravenclaw she believed.

The blonde grinned a little, before kneeling down carefully and scooping some snow together. "Hey Allen, you gonna watch it forever, or have a little fun?" Bette said loudly to the boy, before softly chucking the snowball at his chest.

Snow [Bart & Bette]

It was snowing.

It was snowing.

Throwing on his coat, despite the confused protests from his fellow Ravenclaws, Bart raced down the halls of Hogwarts. He ran passed a few teachers, apologizing as the went. When one of them was Barry, he merely smiled and told him, “It’s snowing!” He saw first years gathered around windows, but he was heading for the big leagues.

Bart went right out one of the doors and into the courtyard. The world had snowed almost all of Bart’s life. It was a constant. He hated it. The auburn haired teen despite the cold flakes falling from the sky. He had thought he would never have wanted to see them again.

But this time was different. This time…the flakes were white.

With a small smile, she took the box full of licorice wands. "Well, as long as you don't mind..." Bette couldn't help but be a little happy to have gotten the candy that she'd wanted. There wasn't many candy types that she enjoyed, but she had a soft spot for licorice. Plus, it wasn't everyday that Bette had a conversation with a cute boy.

"Yeah, it's really nice to actually meet you too." The blonde awkwardly played with the hems of her sweater sleeves. What was his tone of voice? Was he flirting...? "I'm a chaser, have been since the about halfway through second year. And, well, not many people remember me anyways." She said, a little halfheartedly.

It was kind of nice, Bette thought, to actually have a conversation with someone that wasn't about class studies. And it was even nicer that it wasn't Baran Flinders threatening her. She actually felt like a normal witch, something that never seemed to happen.

Since Bette had still not managed to get to the library, due to her... interruption with Baran, she had a stack of books that were waiting for her to pick them up at the front desk when the blonde asked the librarian if she had anything on hold. Happily, she took the texts and made her way to the back of the large room to study.

The sound of her short heels clacked against the hard wood floors as Bette walked quickly towards her usual spot in the back. However, when the hufflepuff got there, there was another blonde, asleep! Furrowing her brow, Bette tried to figure out who it was.

Gryffindor scarf. Blonde hair. Sleeping when they should be studying.

"Cassie, is that you?" Bette said, smiling a little as she took a few more steps closer to the younger girl.

Cassie shut her eyes, struggling to fight the exhaustion that came with school. She loved being at Hogwarts, but more often than not the classes felt impossible. Maybe it was her short attention span or her ability to procrastinate on everything, but she always seemed to find herself having trouble retaining the information necessary to make high marks in her classes.

She found herself fighting the urge to sleep in the library at a table far from the windows, as they’d provide even further distractions from her studies. As the heat from the fire beat against her, causing her to feel even more tired, she lay her head against the book she’d been staring at for more than ten minutes. The cool pages felt good against her flushed cheeks, and she closed her eyes with the thought of Just one minute… floating through her mind.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps. Jolting upwards, she looked around in a panic to see someone approaching her. “How long have I been asleep?” she asked herself out loud, glancing down at her watch. It hadn’t been long, a mere ten minutes, but still, she couldn’t afford to sleep at the moment. She turned at the person and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Out of all her friends at Hogwarts, Bette had found that Babs was the one she most enjoyed spending time with. It wasn't that she didn't like being with her other friends, but with Babs, she didn't feel the need to be overly extroverted and bubbly. It was nice to have company that enjoyed books and tea, just like herself.

But that didn't mean Bette didn't enjoy a little gossip, which, seemed to always happen when the two studied together. With a smile, the blonde closed her book, and took a long sip of tea. "So, Babs, how've you been enjoying this year at Hogwarts?" She said, holding her tea cup with both hands.

Barbara looked over her cup of Earl Grey at Bette who sat in the armchair opposite of her. The two were curled up in a corner of the common room, sipping on tea (courtesy of Bette) while the lit fireplace cast dancing shadows on the wall. The redhead had invited Bette to have a little late-night study session with her in the Ravenclaw Tower, and Bette had happily obliged. Barbara blew on her tea as she flipped to the next page in her transfiguration textbook. 

A smile tugged at her lips as she mused how long they would be able to keep up their current ”quiet” studying. Although both witches were good students, and took their grades seriously, their study sessions usually turned into gossip sessions. With any other person Barbara would find herself irritated by their lack of concentration; but with Bette, Barbara didn’t mind the off-topic discussions at all.

The Hufflepuff common room is known as the coziest and most secure at Hogwarts. Just like badgers, Hufflepuffs live underground in circular rooms that are accessed through a hidden tunnel. Located near the kitchens it is the only common room that does not require a password but a rhythm tapped out on barrels. However get it wrong and you will find yourself doused in vinegar as it is also the only common room with a repelling device. Once inside you will find rooms filled with plants, patchwork quilts, and sunlight giving it a homely atmosphere that is said to always feel warm and welcoming.

"Oh." Is all that Bette replies with, unsure if there's really anything she can say to help. She'd just met the kid, and already he was sharing his dark past with her. The blonde wished that there was something she could do to help. "You have to make your own choices. Be who you want to be."

Glancing over at the ashes of the former practice dummies, the hufflepuff shrugged, smiling slightly back. He was younger, and Bette felt confident in her abilities not to be scared of him. There was only one person that she was truly scared of, and the likelihood of him showing up now was improbable. "No, it's okay. Sometimes you just need to vent."

She casually motioned to the field, "I was just running, I like to get in some cardio exercise every other day. Gotta keep in shape for quidditch."
