Evelyn decided to hang out here for a while before she headed back to the common room. Books awaited her...eeeek. Evelyn sat down on the ground..and folded her legs. No stretching her legs out this time. She didn't want another person tripping over her legs.
Honestly, I have no idea why Edric of all people had decided to wander around the playground.
Despite his Scroogey demeanor, deep down the boy was still... well, a boy. He liked swings and he liked slides, he just didn't like sharing his recess time with other annoying kids.
He'd avoided it for as long as he could, but the time had come for Edric Barlow to discover the playground. He was surprised it wasn't infested with dozens of first years. No, there were quite a few people his age hanging around this area.
And just as the Gryffindor was beginning to consider the idea of climbing into the playground castle, he spotted an all-too-familiar brunette sitting on the ground somewhere near the swings.
Already inside the mini-Hogwarts castle, the sixteen-year-old went down the nearest slide (which looked short enough, but was enchanted to become a few yards taller when you were actually on it), and landed on his feet, creating a cloud of dust that enveloped his legs and the girl beside which he had landed.
Oh, oops.
"I promise I didn't do that on purpose," said Edric in his defense. Knowing Evs, she'd probably think he was trying to kill her through suffocation.
