November was special, too, though - fallen leaves, the brisk chill that stung one's cheeks and turned noses red, and the opportunity to wear the coziest autumn outerwear in one's wardrobe.
Needless to say, Max was happy to be outside today.
As he rounded the corner, the seventh year walked purposefully across the courtyard, then suddenly stopped in the middle, drawing his gaze toward the sky. He closed his eyes for a moment, taking in a deep breath of fresh air through his nostrils, then continued on his way. He didn't go far, however; he turned in his path and planted himself on the nearest empty bench, seeming to spontaneously decide he should spend some time in the courtyard today. His daily walk could wait.
Max laid down across the length of the bench, gracefully crossing one leg over the other and lacing his fingers behind his head. Even though there were people around, he still found some peace and serenity in the moment as he observed the sky above. Ella was wandering the grounds, a small smile on her face. The crisp air felt lovely and it was clear that winter was on the way. It wouldn't be long now until the grounds were covered in a blanket of snow. Things would be much quieter then, where as many students were still out and about enjoying the sunshine now. She didn't mind, though. It was good to see everybody out and about.
Suddenly, the third year found herself in the courtyard. Hm. She'd walked quite a distance since she started, it seemed. With a shrug, she made to head back into the castle when she saw a very familiar face on a nearby bench. GRIN. It was Max! She hadn't seen him in quite some time and she missed the guy, honestly. Funny they were meeting in the courtyard again, as this had been the place they first met. She smiled thinking about it.
Walking over quietly, the small badger stood with her hands on her hips, eyebrows raised.
"Well this is certainly a familiar sight." BEAM.
