Rating: Low, I would assume
As a general rule, Zacharias avoided going outdoors in the fall and the winter like it was the plague. He and the cold were not friends. Nor were they even friendly acquaintances. Sworn enemies would be the most appropriate term. Which was, frankly, unfortunate for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team as it tended to make him more irritable than usual, and Zacharias was, as a general rule, already more irritable than the average human being. Logic dictated that since it was an October afternoon, he should be tucked away safely and warmly inside but instead, lo and behold there he was, outside facing the cold. Which was, admittedly, not nearly as cold as it could have been, and with an extra jumper, a scarf, and a mug of tea in hand, he was perhaps more bundled up than the average person would be.
He hadn’t been able to focus inside, which was extremely problematic because given that it was a Sunday afternoon, he was supposed to be working, not staring aimlessly at the wall. He still wasn’t entirely sure why he had decided to venture outside though. Maybe to clear his head, maybe to make him thankful that he was doing homework instead of at Quidditch practice, he couldn’t really say. Regardless, there he was, now wandering rather than staring aimlessly. He couldn’t really say that it was an improvement. But he had only gotten outside a few minutes ago; he would brave the cold for a few more before giving up and returning inside, he vowed with a sigh.
