Nicole walked along the grounds towards a pond she had recently found. She had learned alot at St. Margaret's in her first year and was starting to begin to have control over her powers. Today was the first time she was really going to put it to the test though. She was dressed in her figure skating outfit and had a hockey stick resting on her shoulder and a bag in her other hand.
Once she arrived at the pond she set her bag and stick down. She walked over to the water's edge and crouched down and touched the water. She took a deep breath to calm herself and closed her eyes as she concentrated on her task. It started slowly with just frost radiating from her hand but quickly grew to the water freezing over and spreading across the surface of the pond. It seemed like forever to Nicole but in reality it was only a couple of minutes and the pond was frozen over. She smiled satisfied that she had managed her task. Now it was time to enjoy the fruit of her labor. She opened her bag and took out her skates. She sat down to put them on and laced them up tight before standing.
She stepped out on to the ice and for the first time since arriving at the school, she felt normal again. She started out with some large strides working her way across the ice, once she was around the center, she began working her usual routine, she was very graceful on the ice. Years of practice clearing showing their worth. There was something different though. Something very enjoyable about ice skating while it was warm out. Even at indoor ice rinks, by nature, it had to be cold to keep the surface frozen. Here, she was skating, yet it was a pleasant 20 degrees Celsius out.
She skated for a good hour before returning to the edge of the pond to get her hockey stick and a puck from her bag. While she was there, she heard the sound of someone approaching.
