Walking in a winter wonderland!

Snow... snow... and more snow was all that Medusa saw before her as she looked out the window of the Ravenclaw common. She seen a couple of people out having snowball fights and building snowmen, but they weren't anyone she knew. Medusa wanted to have friends, but she was just to shy to meet any due to be bullied in her muggle school. Although she knew she was no longer in her muggle school and haven't been for starting now four years now, she had to let it go and move on. Although it was hard to let go from a pass that haunted you so much when you seen people around you that bully people.

But bored was taking over Medusa, she had to go do something before she went crazy! Going to the girls' dorm she grabbed her jacket and Ravenclaw scarf before heading outside. She really didn't know what she was going to do, but she'll figure out once she gets there.

After deep in thought Medusa snapped out of her trance to realize she was in front of the entrance hall. Raising her eyebrows in surprise, Medusa pushed the door open as the cool breeze hit her face making her wrap her scarf around her face more. Walking down the sloping lawns Medusa walked pass a snowball fight that was in process dodging snowballs that were being thrown from everywhere. Going over towards her own area, Medusa decided that she was going to make her a snowmen. "Yeah... I'll make a snowmen, who says you need people to make a snowmen?"Medusa thought to herself.

Bending down, Medusa scooped some snow into her hands making a ball into her hands as she started making a big ball of snow. Smiling to herself Medusa pushed the ball across the grounds gathering snow for the bottom of her snowmen. Nodding to herself, Medusa patted some snow at the bottom to keep it from rolling away from her. In her own world, Medusa started singing to herself 'Deck the halls' as she packed snow around the big snow ball that was on the ground.

Sometimes, Caspian wondered how he was an Ivanov. He was different from his brothers, in a lot of different ways. He knew that if it wasn't for his surname, he probably wouldn't have made it very far in life most of the time which kind of annoyed him. He wanted to know he could do things himself, without the help of his family. But now even his family, he felt, was abandoning him and even though he wanted to do things on his own, he was afraid of what being alone would be like. Robin had gotten married recently and he knew he would be next, and the thought really frightened him.

How was he supposed to live up to so many standards when he'd never even had an actual girlfriend before. Well, he had but to him that didn't really count anymore. They'd always been more like friends than anything else and he was going to keep it that way, even in his thoughts. Especially since his best friend was now crushing on her. She didn't seem to think of him as anything more than a friend though and Caspian honestly felt bad for Nathan. But there was nothing that could be done. At least for now. Charlie would eventually figure out how Nate felt and maybe she would feel the same way that he did.

Caspian shook his head and sighed. He shouldn't be thinking about that. Not with Christmas so close at hand. It would be ththere sooner than he thinks and that meant the break was almost there too. For once, Cass didn't want to go home, only because he knew there would only be talk about who was next to be married and everyone would probably think it would be him. Which meant someone was going to plan a wedding for him with another pureblood so he wouldn't be married off to some halfblood or muggleborn. The Ravenclaw wasn't even sure where he was going anymore. He was sure he had a destination when he left the castle, but as he came back from his thoughts, he realized he didn't know where he was going anymore and he stopped.

He watched the students that were throwing snowballs at each other. One called out to him to join them, but Cass' attention had already been caught by something. He motioned for them to keep going without him and he walked toward the girl who was making a snowman by herself. Caspian recognized her, she was a Ravenclaw like him. Medusa, if he remembered correctly, was her name. He stopped a few steps away from her and called to her. "Medusa? What're you doing making a snowman all alone?" He asked her, after bending down to pick up some snow.

Medusa looked up from her snowman as she heard a voice calling out to her like they knew who she was. "Oh hi Caspian, fancy seeing you here."said Medusa softly but giving him a soft warm smile.  "I don't have many friends,  so I decided to do it alone." said Medusa as if it wasn't nothing.  "You want to join me?" Medusa asked him softly. Medusa was a bit of a loner,  she spent a lot of time alone at times and her nose buried in a book.

Gathering some more snow,  she formed it into a snowball before throwing it at Caspian before giggling.  "Sorry it looked like fun to do!"said Medusa giving him a shy innocent smile.  Bending down and gathering more snow she formed another ball before rolling it around.  Looking at him, she noticed he seemed a bit bummed about something. "You okay? you seem bummed about something. "said Medusa softly.  "Sorry didn't mean to be nosy,  I'm just to nosy for my own good at times. "said Medusa.

Medusa knew this marriage law was taking a lot out of people, taking love ones from people and ruining people's lives.  Medusa was lucky,  she wasn't at age for them to make her marry someone she didn't love.  Love what was love? Medusa never had a boyfriend before let alone been kissed by a boy before.  Of course she was still young and she had her whole life ahead of her,  but she wanted what others had and felt.  She wanted to fall in love,  feel loved but not by the stupid marriage law that was going around.  She felt bad for the older students and graduates, it must really suck for them.
