Skyway Avenue

[Kristen Simms]

Kristen left the Hufflepuff common room in hopes of seeking somewhere possibly quiet. Gilderoy was on another one of his rants about how 'pretty' he thought he was. It was becoming annoying and the only thing that she knew to do was leave. She closed her book that she was attempting to study and went back up to her dorm to fetch her jacket, gloves, and scarf.

Once she was bundled up, she walked down toward the lake. It was pretty chilly outside, but being out in the snow was one of her favorite things. She slowly walked in the snow, leaving behind her footprints as she walked.

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus saw an old friend walking past him and he sat on the hill. Did he look so different that people just couldn't recognize him anymore? He stood up and walked behind her. He laughed a little and thought about throwing a snow ball at her. He decided that was a bad idea and just took the extra two steps to get right beside her instead.

He raised an eyebrow, "Do I really look that different?" He asked as he looked over at her.

[Kristen Simms]

She wasn't paying attention to anyone else, just where she was going. Falling would be quite embarrassing if there were other people around. Kristen had a few thoughts running through her head as a voice sort of startled her. She looked beside her and observed the boy standing there. Taking in his features, a smile spread across her face. "Anonimus! I'm so sorry! I didn't even see you," she said excitedly, yet apologetically. Kristen wasn't sure if hugging him would be a right thing to do or not, so she kept her hands her her pockets. "When did you get here?"

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus smiled at her. "I got back yesterday, actually. I don't know I thought learning things might be a good idea every other year," he said with a grin. He looked around for a good place to sit and saw a nice little snow covered bench not to far off. He grabbed Kristen by the arm and drug her along with him over to the bench. "Hold on," he said as he cleared the bench off. "Okay," he said and he sat and motioned for her to sit beside him. "What did I miss...fill me in?" He smiled being back at Hogwarts was really good for him. He hadn't been this happy in a long time.

[Kristen Simms]

She continued to smile. "I dunno how well that would work out." Kristen started to laugh as he pulled her along to a bench. She waited patiently and wondered what exactly he was doing.

As he sat down, Kristen sat next to him. "What did you miss," she repeated thinking. "Well, nothing really, except for the Quad Wizarding Tourament started this year. Gilderoy hasn't changed at all, well, maybe he's a little more in love with himself this year." She laughed at that thought, but then she quieted down. "And I'm sure you know what happened not to long ago with Katie Lawerence. Other than that, I'm not so sure you missed too much of anything."

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus smiled "Well that is good, I would hate to be out of the loop" he said in a sarcastic voice. "At the same time that dosen't make for much of a conversation" he said with a grin. "So I guess things just stopped without me here to keep it going," he said shaking his head with a sigh. He laughed a little. "Only kidding...so what were you doing out here anyways," he asked.

[Kristen Simms]

Kristen reached over and patted his shoulder. "You just go ahead and keep thinking that if it makes you sleep better at night," she said with laughter. She put her hand back in her pocket.

"I came out here to get a breath of fresh air actually. Plus, I happen to like the cold weather and the snow." Kristen smiled and gave a slight shrug. "What about you?"

[Anonimus White]

"Why was I out here...uhh...just thinking," he said running his hand through his hair. He shifted a little in his seat and then looked at the snow. "Its peaceful out here int he winter...not many people are out here. I think its a nice place to just be alone," he said shrugging a little. He grinned at her and picked up some snow and started to form it into a ball.

[Kristen Simms]

"Yes. I think that's one reason I like it." Kristen did like time to be alone and think or work. Then there was times when she liked to be around Reese. Even if they did annoy the mess out of each other, she did admit (only to herself) that she enjoyed those times.

She noticed Anonimus' grin and raised an eyebrow. "You wouldn't dare."

[Anonimus White]

"What, no," he said shaking his head "of course not." He tossed the snow ball up and down in his hand as he started laughing. "There are only two really good reasons to be in the snow; to think, and to throw snowballs. Sorry its just fact," he said as he threw the first snowball at Kristen and got up to run behind a near tree.

[Kristen Simms]

Kristen eyed the snowball in his hand. "Hey," she started as he threw the snowball at her. It hit her in the shoulder. She shook her hand and grabbed her a handful of snow to throw at him whenever she got the chance. "You're mean," said Kristen trying to hide her laughter.

She formed a decent snowball in her hand and moved from sitting on the bench to find the opportune time to throw it.

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus was already forming a few snowballs behind the tree. He grabbed one and jumped out from behind the tree, he threw it and just barley missed. "So close," he shouted. and jumped back behind the tree.

[Kristen Simms]

As soon as she saw his head from around the tree, she threw the snow ball she held. Kristen laughed and noticed him throwing another one and she moved out of the way before it could hit her.

She moved away from the spot that she was in. Kristen made sure that her scarf was wrapped around her neck so she wouldn't lose it if she decided to run. She picked up another handful of snow and packed it into another ball. "You've got to aim a little better than that," she called to him.

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus grabbed another snow ball and tried to make a run for it to another tree. While he was running he threw another snowball but didn't stop long enough to see if it was a hit.

[Kristen Simms]

Kristen felt the snowball hit her and started to laugh. She looked around trying to find somewhere to hide as she threw the snowball hard in his direction. After nearly tripping while trying to run, Kristen finally paused to rest by the bench. She peered over it to look toward the tree and quickly looked down and grabbed another handful of snow, waiting for him to come out.

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus heard her laughing and assumed he had hit his target. He bent down and put another snowball together. He peered around the tree to try and find where she had gotten to. He couldn't see her right off so he leaned even further around the tree.

[Kristen Simms]

She looked through the crack on the bench and saw as Anonimus peered his head around it. Kristen grinned and then leaned up quickly and threw the snowball at him before ducking back down quieting down her laughter that wanted to surface.

This was probably the most fun that she had, other than talking with Reese. Her mind wandered over to him for a moment. She wondered what he was doing at the moment. Maybe he was out at the quidditch pitch flying, or something else. Kristen shook her head, why exactly was she thinking about him? It didn't make any sense to her. She picked up another handful of snow and then she got ready to possibly throw another one.

[Anonimus White]

This snow ball happened to his Anonimus right in the face. Snow was all in his hair. He started laughing and wiped some of the snow off of his face and came out with his hands up. The snow in his hair melted slowly and started to drip on to his nose.

He laughed "Okay, you win. I give up." He shook his head to try and get all of the snow out of it.

[Kristen Simms]

When Kristen heard Anonimus' laughter, she guessed that she hit him. She stood up from hiding behind the bench. After she saw him trying to shake the snow out of his hair, she started to laugh. "Well, that wasn't too hard," she said. "Better be glad that there wasn't anyone else really out here or they might tease you about getting beat by a girl." Kristen gave a teasing grin.

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus ran his hand through his hair just to try to get the rest out. "No, I am being a gentleman and letting you win. Plus I hit you way more time than you hit me," he said with a smirk. "But just in case we can just keep this between us," he said trying to figure out if all the snow was out of his hair yet. "Did I get it all," he asked.
