Sigh. That was nice. His arm felt nice around her shoulders, and she fit comfortably under it too. Not that she'd say so, but her body language kind of gave it away at least a bit.

"I know." It was nice, if you ignored that there were other people around enjoying the grounds, nobody in view currently, since they were facing out over the lake, but if you yelled out someone would hear you for sure.

Here to relax? Hmm. Not exactly, She looked up at him. "More like... enjoying my freedom while it lasts. I mean who knows if it'll just be one detention this time or if I'll be stuck with Trollaire through New Years again." Not to mention having been banned from Hogsmeade all of last term ugh. Ruby had found ways around that little inconvenience though. She pouted at him theatrically. Wasn't it soooo tragic? Honestly though, she was worried about it for real... they both knew it. Grayson knew probably better than anyone except her own brother how much the endless detentions the previous year had got to her, even if he didn't exactly know why they'd been so terrible. But of course she was going to put on a front about it, they were in public after all.

"I mean its just whatever." She examined the nails on one hand casually. Hmmm. French tips next time? Lalala. Nothing wrong here. Subtly though, she cuddled up to him a bit more, probably gladder he was there than she should be.
