Originally Posted by Mandana All this talk of winter in Cali had made him miss home a little bit, Matt wanted it be December so that he go could back and hang out with the friends that he hadn't gotten to see since July but at the same time; he just wanted time to stop so that it didn't get wasted anymore. He was graduating at the end of the term after all and the more that thought had came up in his thoughts, the more it made him sad since it meant that he didn't get to see Stella whenever he wanted to. Then again, he had been curious about what was in store for him after graduating with travelling for a year at least. "It's actually really nice, I mean obviously it's different if you haven't experienced it before. But pretty much every Christmas, I'll be out on the beach. Unless it's raining, then it isn't much fun." It wasn't that he didn't like the rain, it was more like the whole cold that came with it; but other plus to the rain was that it had made some awesome waves. As soon as she offered to help him skate, he smiled softly; it truly was a fair deal after all since he had been giving swing dancing lessons later on which were going to be ridiculously fun. "Makes sense, I'm looking forward to this now since it should be interesting. Well that isn't exactly the word I was looking for but it works all the same." He already knew that there was going to be a lot of falling and laughing but that wasn't a bad thing, no it was going to make a really good memory that he'd carry with him throughout the next year.
"Yeah they could have called it a ball, but I think that they're trying to make it more of a mystery for us. Either way, it's going to be a good time and I'm happy that I'm still at the school for it." If it had been next term, well there wasn't much that he could have done about it. But the whole fact that if it was actually a ball, it meant that he got the chance to dance with her again which was awesome; hopefully they weren't going to be using the waltz lessons from the previous term since he hadn't been too fussed with dancing something that was just so formal. When she asked about OWLs again, he just thought about it for a second before just deciding to speak. "That was it, but I knew that you were going to do well anyway and I was right. I really do appreciate the help with my NEWTs, I mean.. I think I'll do okay but there's nothing wrong with having help with studying." Especially if it meant that they could spend time together since between everything else going on at the school, they didn't exactly have much time to hang out. "You won't have to drop Runes, I'll make sure that you can get enough of a good grade on the exam this term to be able to take it for your NEWT year." He was determined to help her out, even if it had to happen while he was working on homework; that wasn't going to be a problem. The more they talked about winter in California, the more Stella got curious. Even if she knew she wasn't going to be able to go any time soon, it was interesting seeing how talking about his home changed Matt's mood. Almost like he wished he was there, although she knew it wasn't a wish to be away from her. They'd talked enough about how next term was going to be difficult for her to know he wouldn't wish he wasn't at Hogwarts right now. "Kind of how last term, being here at Hogwarts at wintertime, was different for me. I mean, I'm not not used to snow, but it's just different here than it is in France. I'd still love to visit California sometime, though." She could always hope they'd survive next term, after all. It wasn't happening this year to her knowledge, no matter how much she wished to go. She wasn't leaving Hogwarts, and she'd convinced her parents of enough that she figured leaving them alone for a while was better. Hypothetically, as she still wrote to them to let them know she was alright. Plus, she had to let them know that Matt was going to be in France next summer too.
She grinned at his reaction to her offering to teach him how to ice skate, too. "Interesting?, " she asked. "I won't let you hurt yourself too much. We'll go slow, and I don't even know if they'll let us ice skate on the lake this term anyhow," she added. The new groundskeeper might have other ideas, at least. She hadn't really determined what the man was like, but then all she'd really known about Monsieur Stryer was that he didn't like dancing, and was French. It wasn't a lot, so maybe the new groundskeeper would be all to willing to let them skate once the lake froze. If it did. She couldn't remember. Either way, she hoped it was possible, as it was another fun plan for spending time with Matt.
As was the school event thing, and she shrugged slightly as he agreed with her. "Or maybe they didn't call it that because it's not. I mean, we're just going to have to find out once it starts, I guess. I still kind of want them to hold a dance, though," she replied. There wasn't any ulterior motive to that wish. Nothing about just wanting to dance with him somewhere other than in the Room of Requirement. Maybe there was a little, but she wasn't admitting it, even if she had a feeling he'd know that anyway.The discussion about exams and Runes was a good distraction. Especially as she hadn't expected him to admit that he'd wanted her to pass because he'd had trouble. "You'll do amazing on your NEWTs," she said with a determined nod. If he'd wanted to make sure she'd pass her OWLs, she'd do the same for him. And it gave them more time together, too. Studying counted, even if it wasn't a real date or anything. She wasn't fussed about that. She had lots of ideas for next summer anyhow, that could be more like dates, or at least fun. She gave him a kiss on the cheek as he said she wasn't going to have to drop Runes, too. "Thank you. I hope you're right." She wasn't sure what she'd think next term when he wasn't there, after all. Even if she got through this term, it would depend on if she actually felt like she understood the subject or not.
