Though she was in no way an extremely skilled skater, Eloise had done it long enough to be able to hold her own fairly well. She idled around a few more minutes, then decided it might be a good time to attempt something a bit more fancy. The past few times she'd done this, Eloise had managed a jump once or twice, but was still very inconsistent - she fell more often than she landed on her feet.
Today appeared to be one of the former cases, and as Eloise came out of a half revolution her foot slipped out from under her and she landed neatly on her bottom. A small "Oof!" escaped her lips and she sat there for several moments, mildly stunned. Oh well.
Eloise got back onto her feet, brushing the frost off of her jeans, and stole a glance at the shore. It took her a bit by surprise to find that someone had appeared. She skated closer, hands on her hips, before she recognized the figure. Knowing full well that Draco Malfoy was unlikely to show her anything but disdain, Eloise slowed a few meters from where he was.
