Rather than pick her feet up she shuffled them forward pushing the snow around her feet. There was no denying she was going to be freezing when she did choose to go back inside. That heating charm she had cast upon herself before coming out wasn't doing very well for her right now. That was likely due to her not casting it strongly enough, there was just so much on her mind lately that her focus wasn't always were it should be.
Pausing to crouch down a bit, Rylee scooped up a gloved hand full of fluffy snow only she let it fall back through her fingers.
It. Was. FREEZING!! Benji had been so ready to get away from his parents -- or more accurately, the emptiness of his house, occasionally interspersed with yelling from his mother and stern looks from his father -- that he had sort of just rushed back into Hogwarts without even thinking about heating charms or anything like that. He was bundled up pretty well, but still, his nose was starting to turn red (and kinda felt like it was going to fall off, honestly).
He was making his way back around from a loop across the grounds, kicking up snow as he went and thinking about how he wasn't sure whether he was glad to be back or not. Plus side? He wouldn't hear from his parents probably until it was time to go home for the summer. Down side? Scary headmaster, teachers getting sacked, billions of rules, blah blah blah.
While he was considering this, he was surprised to come up on a girl picking up snow and... Dropping it?
"Don't people usually throw snow that they pick up?" he teased with a smile. He wasn't much of a snowball fight guy himself (and especially not with the new regime!), but that seemed like what most kids his age did with snow, anyway.
