Andrew walked down the path that led to Hogsmeade one afternoon after getting clearance to go. Frankly, Andrew would have gone without permission, but he didn't want to risk getting expelled. He was already in deep waters for leaving the school for 6 months with no prior explanation. He traveled a little bit from the school grounds until he sat down by a tree, a perfect view of Hogsmeade down in front of him, making him feel a little better he actually wasn't there. He had too many bad memories there, something that would continue to haunt him for a while, such as Ne'Os attacking him there. He still had a scar on his left thigh for when a large shard glass pierced the muscle there. Not a pretty sight.
He continued to sit where he had decided to rest, feeling the cold begin to really start to get to him. Like a fool, he came outside without wearing a jacket, due to the fact he had burnt his only one at the moment. Sure it was cold, but Andrew would manage for the meanwhile. "Dammit," Andrew swore as he felt the cold begin to seep in even more. He needed to build some kind of fire to keep himself from hypothermia, before his skin would begin to freeze or devolep frostbite at least. He tore some bark of the tree he was leaning on and threw it down in front of him, then using his gauntlets to catch the piece of bark on fire.
