Mmmm... I'm struck by how the quiet intensity of the moonlight village reflects the tautness of the girls' silent activity.
In contrast to the still night and all the open countryside about them, the girls hunch close in fervent activity. Suggestively, the houses of Hogsmeade huddle close together, too, which leads me to wonder what more is taking place beneath their thatched roofs and in the shadows between on this deceptively placid night.
Ha, thinking about it... I grew up in a place where winters were cold and snowy, and there was no private place to be found inside with everyone indoors. On many a night like this, eager youngsters braved the cold to gain some privacy - and didn't notice the cold, or were even more excited by its tingle.
A very evocative illustration. The books should have your art!
