This was what winter break was supposed to be; unadulterated silence and stretches of relaxed days. This was also what Nate lived for; not like he hated classes, but who wouldn’t want some off days? 

Today was no different. Bundled in scarves, he whistled as he walked around the length of the corridors, making discoveries in the day instead of the night where the light was weak and the danger of being caught higher. The light pouring in cast coloured light on the stone floors and it was just beautiful. The Gryffindor made a mental note to capture it in a poem some day. 

Grinning to the redhead he found by the wall, it was as if something had triggered this sudden pelting noise. He stopped whistling and the first black pebble sized piece fell from the sky. And then he heard that godawful laugh. Peeves.

Kiara was currently standing in front of a canvas on an art easel, painting away in one of the empty art rooms. Her tongue was sticking out as she painted, being extremely focused on what she was painting. She was also wearing an art smock, but still had plenty of paint smudges on her hands and face and all over her smock.

She was working on a painting of The Black Lake, with the Hogwarts grounds and castle in the background, with a sunset. The idea had come to her earlier that week when she was zoning out in one of her classes. She was also painting a small snowy white owl flying through the sky, to represent Cinnamon. She was thinking of possibly giving the finished product, when she did indeed finish it, to her brother for Christmas. That way he would always have a little bit of Hogwarts and an art work price from his sister as well.

She pulled the brush back for a minute and brought it back up near her face as she thought about what color she wanted to use next, smearing some paint on her cheek in the process. She finally decided on a color and had began to mix the colors needed to make the color she wanted together when she heard the door open. She looked up at the newcomer with a grin.
