Everyone was so busy. So, so busy. With getting packed and ready to head home to be with their families for Christmas break or simply spending time with those friends preparing to leave. They were running back and forth between dorms and around the common room. Really, they wouldn't be gone for long. It was only a short break. Nothing like summer, where it was months at a time with only visits or owls. It really wasn't a tragedy. And Casey refused to believe that these thoughts possibly stemmed from bitterness of no friends of her own to miss. She carefully stepped down the Hogwarts steps. Just because snow boots had good tread and traction, and were meant to keep one on their feet, that didn't always happen. Casey wasn't going to risk running down steps only to land, not on her feet, but right on her butt. Ice is kind to no one.
Mission one: getting down the stairs without tripping was a success. She shoved her hands into the pockets of her coat. Mission two: where to go. Casey had only gotten so far in her plan as 'get dressed, out of the castle and outside.' While it was cold and snowy out, it was still better than the cluttered..ness of the common room.. and it gave her an excuse to get a large mug of hot chocolate later. It always tasted better with the little marshmellows and when it was cold outside. That was the best part about winter, of course, the hot chocolate. Okay, second best. Casey liked the snow too. Except walking into warzones (sometimes unknowingly) and being pelted with snowballs. As proven true when a small girl was hit from behind.
Well, here was as good a place as any to do nothing. And she could live vicariously.. kind of. There was most likely quite a few more exciting 'vicarious living' situations somewhere. Maybe Casey was just lazy, but she was staying right here. Being a bench she swept off with the sleeve of her coat, then shook said sleeve to remove the snow that had made it's way in. "Cold," she muttered to herself and sat, making sure to pull her coat beneath her on the way.
