Characters: Artemis Harper [Open] When/Where: Nov 5th - The Grounds Summary: Escaping the castle once again. Rating: PG-13
After all the excitement of Halloween and the dance, Artemis was rather glad for the quietness that seemed to fall over Hogwarts. Christmas break was around the corner which meant a slight increase in school work, but nothing drastic. She loved this time of year. More often than not she'd hear a complaint about the cold, but after spending 6 years living in the dungeons, she wasn't particularly bothered by the cold. Of course, those who complained never had to walk across the dungeon floor in the middle of winter with no socks on.
Having dawned her jacket, mittens, and scarf, Artemis had left the castle to wander out into the grounds. Covered in snow, the entire area was gorgeous. Even Hagrid's Hut added to the view, when normally it wasn't exactly an attraction for the eyes. Once the storm had passed, the bitter wind had died down. While it was still cold, Artemis didn't find that it too bad.
Moving away from the castle, Artemis started her wandering, not exactly caring where she ended up. It was enough simply to get the cool, fresh air.
