Studying for NEWTs. It really did take all your spare time away, but of course it was vital if Nessie wanted to obtain marks to be proud of. She really wanted to the best she could this time, no slacking no being lazy. She wanted those marks and she knew all it took was input, hard work and perseverance.

Having spent more than two hours studying, Ness decided it was time for a small break which was why she headed out towards the lake, but that wasn't her only reason of course. Her real reasoning for this was because a badger meet up was planned, right here and why not join? She needed the break anyways didn't she? So this would be the perfect way to have one.

In her comfy clothes and her hair tied up the red head made her way out the Hogwarts entrance and off down to the grounds. It didn't take her long before she spotted everyone and so on she walked. She reached the group and a fairly big smile attached to her face.

"Hey!" she kept her smile on for as long as she could before it faded into a yawn. With her skinny hands she covered her mouth and waited for the yawn to pass, when it eventually did she opened her mouth once more, except this time to speak. "How's everyone?" Her smile then, returned.

Brrrrr. A chill then went through the eighteen year olds body and her teeth began to clatter. Why was it SO cold?
