Ringo was in a particularly cat like mood that day, and Preston was finding himself running around the castle chasing after the pet raccoon, attempting to catch the animal and take it up to the Hufflepuff where Preston would lock him in the dorm room and feed him macaroni. But now, now Preston was running after the raccoon who was chasing a small mouse that in Preston's mind wasn't even worth the effort of chasing.
Not even noticing that once again, Ringo was heading directly towards the one tree on the entire grounds of Hogwarts you didn't want to be running into, the Whomping Willow. "R-R-Ring-Ringo!" Preston exclaimed, attempting to call the raccoon off from any more running, he was getting quite tired now.
The young boy had opened his mouth to call for the raccoon once more, but suddenly found himself in the midst of tripping onto the grassy grounds that surrounded the Hogwarts castle.
SPOILER!!: Preston tripped over Christopher...:(

It was quite strange for Christopher to not read, as it was his favourite thing in the whole wide world! He was watching the clouds, lost in his thoughts. He'd been imagining the dreads of going home over the summer holiday. He didn't want to leave.... Hogwarts was his home, he couldn't go back to live in his Muggle town, he just couldn't.... especially with the circumstances back at his house. He shook his head, trying to shake off thought, and turned back to his book.
Finding himself face to face with patch of green grass now, Preston could tell he had tripped over someone, and momentarily Preston had completely forgotten that Ringo was headed towards a death trap that swung large branches around, he was concerned for the person's safety whom he had tripped over. Hopefully they didn't have any broken bones or anything because of the trip Preston had taken.
"Y-you okay?" Preston asked.
