WHO: Robbie Stebbins and Alicia Spinnet
WHEN: Wednesday, 4th May, late afternoon
WHERE: Field on the outskirts of London
WHAT: Alicia's going to school Robbie at flying
Robbie tugged his collar up to his chin and hunched his shoulders as he waited for Alicia to arrive. It was particularly windy today, and stood as he was on a hill, huddled beside an oak tree, there wasn't a lot of protection against the cold. He glanced around, making sure there weren't any Muggles around - there shouldn't be, it was a reason for picking this place to take off, but it didn't hurt to check - before untucking his wand from his pocket and casting a warming charm on his coat. He altered the temperature until he couldn't feel the chill anymore, then tucked his wand away again.
He took a moment to look out over the countryside, how peaceful everything seemed. And it technically was. This was a mostly Muggle populated area, and they were blissfully unaware of the unrest in the wizarding world. Robbie thought of his siblings, going about their Muggle lives, free from worry of attacks by purebloods and Death Eaters, and sighed. He was grateful that they weren't caught up in that, but it did make him consider for a moment withdrawing from magic completely too, like his father had done all those years ago. It would be simpler.
As Alicia arrived, he turned to her, letting his previous thoughts float away with the wind. "Alright?" he said, lifting his voice slightly over the sound of the tree's leaves rustling. "We still going to be able to fly in this?" He was kind of hoping they could skip the flying part; he'd never been very good on a broom.
