It's too nice to stay inside Date: September 14, 2025 Characters: Abbie Longbottom Location: Hogwarts grounds Private/Public: Public Rating/Warnings: None right now Summary: Abbie's walking her smuggled pets outside
It was simply gorgeous outside. Sunny, cloudless with mild temperature and now wind. Brilliant outdoor weather that just begged her to go and enjoy. After swinging by her father's quarters Abbie picked up Rufus the Pit Bull for a walk during her free period. It took some convincing and arm twisting to get Neville to agree to keep Rufus in his chambers, but she knew she'd wear him down.
Rufus trotted by her side until they reached a open grassy spot near the lake where she removed his leash. The pit bull took off in one direction chasing after a squirrel that scurried up a tree before turning around and running up to her as she plopped down on the ground. "I know, you don't like being cooped up all day," she said, rubbing behind his ears with one hand as her other hand removed a beat up quaffle from her bag along with Sticky Bun the Kneazle and Bullet the Ninja cat. Bullet took one look outside and shot back into her bag while Sticky Bun sniffed Rufus and settled into her lap.
The dog's wet tongue hung out of his mouth as he panted in anticipation from the sight of the red ball. Reaching her arm back, Abbie teased him with it before throwing it as hard as she could. Rufus barked once and raced after it which brought a huge grin to her face. This is perfect. It's too nice to stay inside.
