Cali was sitting out in the courtyard. Skipping one of her classes, probably but she wasn’t sure so she didn’t care. If she got in trouble for it later, she’d just use her sweet, innocent smile and some sugary sweet words to get out of it. She sighed as she fiddled with her hair, attempting to put it up in two identical low buns at each side of her head; just behind and slightly below her ears. She managed to fix it, with random pieces falling here or there. She sighed, without a mirror it was probably a lost cause.

Tightening her jacket around her, Cali wished she’d put her robes on instead of the bright blue jacket she wore. It was warm, of course, but for some reason or another, her robes were always warmer. She sighed, glancing down at the snowy ground. She smiled, loving the English countryside. It was a rare occasion to see snow in her home town. The south of France wasn’t exactly snow country. Sitting on the short wall between the grassy courtyard and the pathway leading to the school, Cali leaned against the stone pillar. She pulled her earmuffs from her bag and placed them on her head, now that her hair was up.

Cali closed her eyes, drew her legs closer to her chest and leaned her head back against the pillar. The air was crisp and cool. She welcomed it. Cali was thinking about going to the Pitch, but she didn’t want to fly laps; being the keeper, she didn’t have all that much to practice alone. She sighed, deciding to stay where she was and enjoy the frosty breeze alone; laughing internally at the fact that she was, indeed, alone. There were usually a couple student milling about around there.

[Logan C. Grey]

Logan had left his common room, late as usual. He made his way to the courtyard and then saw Calista. He grinned and then thought for a moment. 'Hmm I have Charms now... I'm already almost flawless at charms...' He then laughed a bit as he found to excuse to miss his class.

Now Logan had a new objective to the day, and it was to make friends with this one girl. He made his way to the stone pillar which she leaned on. He then sat next to her and leaned against the pillar as well. "Hello, My Name is Logan." He said with a charming smile and his eyes glued to hers. "Whats yours?" He asked her with the same charm. Logan would not lie to himself, this girl was beautiful! He had often seen her before but never alone and never as beautiful as he saw her today. For a split moment he thought of Soraya, but this thought was immediately taken away by his interest in this new damsel, who's name he had yet to know.

[calista]

Cali heard a man’s laughter coming from somewhere around the Courtyard, she just wasn’t sure where; nor did she really care. It was an open, public space. It wasn’t like it was her private room. She turned her head slightly, towards the center of the courtyard, keeping her eyes closed. She smirked slightly, as an insignificant breeze blew through, whipping her bright yellow scarf around slightly. She lifted her hands to secure the matching yellow earmuffs to her ears better.

Her lavender eyes opened abruptly at the feeling of him sitting down against the pillar. His polite words and charming smile eliciting one of her own. ”Bonjour. Je, er” Cali laughed. ”I’m Cali. It’s nice to meet you, Logan.” She laughed, a cloud of breathe bursting from her lips. She lifted her head to the skies. ”It’s it wonderful?” she asked, dragging her hand through some of the built-up snow around her.

This boy was a looker. There was no denying it, really. But, he wasn’t her man. He wasn’t the one she loved. He didn’t have the same dark, almost brooding looks as Tom but he was eye candy and he seemed charming and sweet. She could play along and enjoy the company while she had it.

[Logan C. Grey]

"The snow? Yea its pretty cool." He said grinning and looking at it for a bit. "No Pun intended." He added wittyly. He then opened up his back pack and pulled out two apples. He extended one to Calista and smiled "Want one?" He asked her smiling and taking a bite of his own to make her see that it was safe.

Logan prided himself in two things, the first was his mastership of charms and the second was his charming and gentlemen like attitude towards women. As logan sat there awaiting to see whether or not Calista would take the apple he began to think of all the charms he could've actually done on the apple. He of course, did not do anything to the apple but his mind began to play tricks on him. Like what if he had charmed the apple with the unbreakable charm, then when someone bite it they would chip their teeth. Or maybe Logan but the Silencio charm on it, in an attempt to silence the eater. This he found a little amuseing and gave a small chuckle to himself.

[calista]

Cali laughed, the pun may have been unintended but it had been there and it had been cute. She shook her head, turning to let her feet dangle over the short ledge. Even with it’s short height, Cali’s feet still didn’t touch the ground. The downside to being 5’3”. She smiled. ”Mignon,” she said, under her breathe. She rooted through her bright red messenger bag, pulling out her yellow woolen mittens; her favourite pair. They matched the woolen scarf wrapped around her neck and the earmuffs.

She smiled, accepting the extended apple. She took a tentative bite, unsure of the smirk playing on Logan’s features. She chewed the juicy red apple, swallowing before turning her attention back to Logan; a smirk of her own playing on her features. She had an idea of what he was thinking about. ”What are you thinking about? Charming this apple perhaps?” Cali asked, raising the hand; the shiny red apple with a single bite removed.

”Merci, By the way, Logan.”

[Logan C. Grey]

"Merci." He said smiling. "And Yes, I was thinking of Charming the apple. I cant help it, I love Charms and my mind often focuses on what ways to use them." He then looked at the sky again and then back at Calista. "Ok, so How many times have guys told you that you have a beautiful smile?" He said as he admired her smile.

Logan seemed very captivated by her smile. It wasn't everyday that he saw a smile like hers. He then continued eating his apple and looked at the sky again as she answered. He noticed how the snow flakes fell and how the birds seemed to calm today. He had never thought about it but he actually enjoyed the snow. All the animals seemed to calm, everyone seemed to be in such great moods. It was much like the rain, only without the constant wet wave falling from the sky.

[calista]

”Charms. I can do them, but that doesn’t mean I like them.” Cali laughed. She may have been what the muggles call a straight-A student but charms just happened to be her worst subject by far. She took a bite of the apple in her hand. She swallowed to apple just in time.

Her laughter bubbled from her at the, quite possibly really over-used, pick-up line. She stopped laughing, feigning an over the top sigh; laughter still present. She rolled her eyes to the sky. ”It gets stale after a while. If this were anywhere else, I’d say you’d have to try harder.” She laughed, shaking her head. ”I’m not exactly used to people actually saying those words to my face.” However much accolades and Cali were present in the same sentence, she’d had a hard time believing the spoken words. At least, not until she’d met Tom, she hadn’t. He rarely stopped giving her complements, no matter how subtle. But none of that stopped the crimson that crept up to stay on her porcelain perfect features.

Figuring it was time for a distraction, Cali moved her bag to the other side of the small ledge. She didn’t want snow to somehow land in her bag with that she was going to do. She tossed the mostly eaten apple into the air and used a first year spell to disintegrate the apple to nothingness. Standing she stretched her arms up to the sky, then down to touch the ground. Playing Quidditch really helped her flexibility. Nonchalantly, Cali created a snowball with the packing snow at her feet. She’d been turned away from Logan, so he couldn’t see what her true intentions were. Standing, snowball in hand, she turned, letting the ball fly free from her hands; straight towards Logan with her laughter bubbly from her once again. There, that should be a pretty decent distraction; at least, she hoped, as she ran to the opposite side of the courtyard.

[Logan C. Grey]

Logan used his quick reflexes to try to catch the snow ball. However this led for the snowball to break on impact and for some of the excess to land on him. He quickly stood and saw Calista running. Right now he had two choices, to chase after her, or to stay put. Usually he would just stay, as he didn't really need to chase after any women, but in this case Logan felt that he should. So he then began to chase after her.

Logan was not a track star, but he was fast. He never lost sight of Calista and he slowly got closer to her. As he got closer he slowed a bit to keep her pace. He then got next to her and continued running beside her, this was honestly pure sport to him. "What we running from?"[/ He said as he kept her pace and laughed.

[calista]

When Logan caught up to Cali she waited a moment or two then stopped running. She wasn’t out of breathe, hardly ever was with the exercise regiment she created for herself. Cali sighed internally; this wasn’t going to be any fun if he didn’t play along. She sighed, raising her hands in the air a bit, and then letting them drop to her sides. She was stubborn to the core but when someone, in general, didn’t get a hint, what was the point?

”Well, I’m not sure if you should be running from me, or the other way around,” she said, throwing another snowball towards him. She loved the snow, and if throwing a couple snowballs made her childish, then so be it. She spun around as the snow fell, with her arms in the air, dropping to the ground. If this kid didn’t clue in soon and actually lighten up a bit, maybe throw a snowball or two himself, she was going leave the courtyard, find Tom and persuade him into frolicking in the snow. The smirk that replaced the childish laughter was all seduction as her thoughts turned to her plans on how to get Tom to go outside. She shook her head as soon as she realized and grabbed a handful of the white coolness and threw it up to the air; letting it fall all around her, some flecks landing atop of her colourful head of hair.

[Logan C. Grey]

Logan understood he just really wasn't into snow balls. However when two more flew towards him Logan decided it was either throw back or leave, and honestly he didn;t feel like leaving. He dodge the snow balls and then picked up some snow and shot back. Logan did not hate the snow, however he didn't really enjoy it either. His favorite season was summer, because of the warmth. However Winter was good for certain aspects, such as snuggleing.

Now Logan was participateing in an event that he hadn't participated in for years. Snow ball fights were fun, no doubt about that, but to Logan, they seemed quite childish. Nevertheless when women were involved so would be logan. Snowballs flew across the courtyard and logan was sacked by a couple due to his height and his failure to be able to hide. However he himself got a few good shot, so he didn;t feel too bad.

[Paige Lucas]

Paige trudged through the snow looking for Cali. Since Tasha and Alex weren't around much, she had taken to spending more time with her colorful friend. "Why does she have to be outside on the coldest freaking day?" She muttered to herself. Paige wasn't really complaining though, she loved being outdoors. She just pulled her coat tight around her and kept going.

Voices carried across the courtyard, one belonged to Cali, the other she didn't know. As she got closer she watched as the boy threw at Cali, who wasn't even paying attention. Paige walked quickly up to them. "Hey!" She stopped in between her friend and this kid. "What's up? I'm Paige," And I am soo gonna enjoy making you look stupid. "Wait you're not skipping class are you?" She put her hands on her hips. "I will take points for that."

Figuring that would annoy the kid, Paige turned to her friend. "Cali your boyfriend is looking for you..." She glared at the kid. "Come on before he gets sick of waiting and decides to hex me...." Paige leaned over and helped Cali up. Linking arms with her, she pulled her away from the boy.

Once they were out of ear shot Paige began to cackle. "Just kidding by the way. Tom isn't looking for you, but that boy looked like he needed to know you were taken." She laughed again, "I'm craving hot chocolate. How about you?"

[calista]

She laughed as the snow covered her with wet flecks. Cali spun around in her sitting position at Paige’s approach. She smiled, waving a mitten covered hand in greeting to her friend. ”Why, hello there Paige!” She laughed, realizing almost immediately her true intentions. She shook her head, glancing sideways at Logan. Poor kid didn’t have a chance with the Gryffindor Head Girl as one of Cali’s good friends.

Paige turned to Cali so fast, Cali thought the girl might have gotten whiplash. She sobered her expression and schooled it to not show the traces of her laughter at her words. Those shocked her, she hadn’t been expecting them, which made her wonder if it were true or not. ”That sexy Slytherin is looking for little ol’ me?” Cali started to rise and Paige leaned over to help her. ”We better not let Tom wait any longer. You may never recover from one of his hexes.” Cali was going to add something, but decided better of it with the Ravenclaw standing nearby. Cali linked arms with Paige as they quickly made their way back into the warmth of the school; barely giving chance to wave bye, absentmindedly.

She burst out laughing. It would just figure that it was all a lie. Paige was just as good as Cali was at lying. Her grandmother would say it was a talent that would come in handy. Apparently she was right; as always. ”Jeez, Paige…I was just…yeah he was getting flirty…” Paige’s attention span seemed as large as Cali at the moment; or rather as short as hers. ”Oooh, chocolat Chaud. Sounds wonderful!” Cali said skipping along.

[Logan C. Grey]

Logan Looked at both of the girls and then heard the conversation. For a moment he found it funny but then by the Head girl's threat he found it intriguing. Logan was one of the best Charm Users in the school, and In his seventh year he had just about 3 classes. All of which he was Exempt of today because of the material. Logan was too ambigous in the matters and professors liked to have the newer student have trys.

Logan then saw as they left and he then Laughed. "Ahh... Gryfindors..." Logan said as they left. It would only occur to a Gryfindor to threaten him with points. Logan was actually very well in line to become the Head boy. This of course was just speculation for now because Logan was one of the better choices, but he hadn't ever been nominated as a prefect. Logan saw the ladies leave and decided to just stay at the courtyard and enjoy the calmness.
