Darren arrived at the Hogwarts entrance hall from the dungeons for the Hogsmeade trip. He enjoyed going to Hogsmeade, he went their all the time since his third year. He remembered that day, he hadn't had a permission slip, as his father hadn't bothered giving permission, so he had done his dad's signature himself. He frowned when he looked out the window, that was one disadvantage of being in the dungeons, there were no windows, it felt suffocating to him. It looked cold, a blizzard was storming outside and there was a lot of snow as well. If he'd known there would be snow he would of dressed differently, he was wearing a black blazer on top of a white T-shirt.

He thought about fetching a scarf from downstairs but didn't bother, he was too lazy. Darren wasn't usually lethargic, he just hated doing useless things. Leaning against the wall, he waited for someone else to show up, there would be no point going to Hogsmeade in this weather if his friends didn't show up.

Emily saw Darren leaning against a wall, in the entrance. She walked up to him and smiled "Hello Darren. Going to the Hogsmead Christmas trip?" she asked, wearing a red scarf and gloves. The weather was really cold, and she thought Darren was feeling cold, only dressing a blazer and a t-shirt, but she didn't bother asking him if he was. He would probably say no, like always.

Addy went down from the Ravenclaw Common Room to the Hogwarts Entrance. She made sure she had her permission slip her grandmother signed in her pocket. Addy wore a Ravenclaw sweater, with her Ravenclaw scarf, and knitted hat and gloves that had the Ravenclaw Eagle. On top of that she wore a black leather coat and boots to keep warm. It was really cold outside and she didn't feel the need to catch a cold.

" Hey Darren and Emily, " Addy said zipping up her coat then putting her hood on. " You guys going on the Hogsmeade Christmas trip ? "

Darren looked at the two newcomers, they seemed to be well dressed. They had probably seen the storm from their windows and dressed up accordingly. Oh well, he would probably have to spend the trip stuck in the three broomsticks. Emily and Addy were both his friends, not great ones though. Expecially Emily, who he used to dislike before. "Hey Emily, Hey Addy" Darren greeted, with a half smile.

Frowning at both of their questions, he hated it when people asked stupid questions which they already knew the answer too. Of course he was going to the trip! Why else would he be standing here early morning? In fairness, he wasn't wearing outdoorsy clothes, but they should still know. "No I'm not going, I'm standing here for no friggen reason," he replied, to both their questions. his tone very sarcastic.

Ichigo made his way to the Entrance, checking he had everything he would need and making it fit in his jeans pockets, there was no need for a jacket, he rarely felt the cold or heat - since moving from place to place he had become used to all types of weather. He double checked that he had his wand; He forgot that all the time.
When the got to the entrance he saw that there was only a couple of people there. He spotted Darren and walked over to him, he was probably still pissed at him, but oh well.
'Yo' he said as he stood beside Darren
'We early?' he questioned
He looked at Darren and compared what he was wearing to everyone else kinda confused. Ichigo shrugged, perhaps he's used to it.

" I'm used that answer, so I'm guessing you are going. And when you go to the Hospital Wing or St. Mungo's from Pneumonia the disease I'll be the first person at your side. So I'm warning you, put the heating charm on yourself or something. " Addy told him. " Anyway... hey Ichigo. " Addy said to him with a smirk on her face.

She was not letting Darren's Sarcasm ruin her good day she planned.

Ichigo tried to suppress a laugh.
Nice comback he thought
'Yo' Ichigo nodded in response to Addy
'So anyway what's this Hogsmead like then?' he asked Addy ignoring Darren

" It's quite surprising you've haven't been to Hogsmeade. Anyway it's a village with shops and places to fool around with friends. My two favorite places there are Zonko's Joke Shop and Honeydukes. Zonko's is a place to buy jokes and tricks to play on people, " Addy paused to take and breath.

" And Honeydukes is the place you need to be. All the sweets to please a person. " Addy said thinking about how in her third year she almost bought all the Chocolate Frogs.

Darren scowled and turned away from Kurosaki, one day with him at the forest was enough for Darren to tell he didn't like him. Kurosaki, was full of himself and competitive all through there little adventure, and Darren still didn't even know his name! He however, like Darren, hadn't wore warm clothes, he guessed he hadn't also predicted the huge amount of snowfall as they were both in the dungeons. "Hi" he muttered stiffly to him.

Smiling at Addy for reminding him about the heating charm, he took out his wand and used it on himself. Most wizards knew how to do that spell but not so well, he however, was really good at it. He would still feel cold, but he wouldnt freeze to death, he really couldnt believe how he had forgot that spell. "I dont mind the cold" he told her shrugging. He was more used to it than most, he spent a long time in his house and that was even further North. Though admittedely he hadn't spent many winters there.

Staring at Kurosaki incredelusouly, he coudln't believe he had never been to Hogsmeade before. What year was he in? "No were not early, right on time actually," he told him. He would have left by now, but didn't want to with these people. expecially not Kurosaki.

" Looks like Ginervra, Mariana, Sophia, or Zoe are not going to be on time, but if none of them come on time I'm leaving and will catch up with them in Hogsmeade because it's too cold . And is they come tell tell anyone of them I'll be at Honeydukes. " Addy said to them.

She then left the Entrance Hall, gave her permission slip, and left.
