Hogwarts grounds
It was after dark when the students arrived back from Christmas break, so they wouldn’t have seen the changes that occurred while they were away…except for the lights illuminating the area in question. Several of the Muggleborn asked, “When did we get an ice rink?”
Not just one rink, but two of them…with seating around each of them, plus a warming house and a concession stand.
Buffy saw the coaches pull up and carefully made her way over after putting guards on her skates. “Welcome back! As you can tell, we sort of lost track of time here. The rink was just installed earlier today and we got caught up with enjoying the grand opening. We have regular skating on the front rink and a pick up hockey game on the back one.
“Tell you what, if you’d rather just head to dinner, you can. The elves have everything ready. Or…you can join us here for a little while; if you’re hungry you can eat something at the concession stand. It isn’t a feast, but the food is yummy. We’ll go inside in about an hour. That way you can enjoy the rinks tonight. See Professors Flitwick and McGonagall to have them change your footwear into skates temporarily.”
Exactly zero of the students who just arrived opted to go inside. Even those who weren’t too sure about skating still wanted to try out the concession stand and visit with the friends they hadn’t seen for a couple weeks.
They watched as Headmistress Buffy taught some of the students how to skate. She was very patient with them and assured them that almost everyone fell down a lot when they started learning. Thankfully, the staff had cast cushioning charms on the students’ clothing, so it didn’t hurt as much when they fell.
Over at the other rink, MacGyver and Jon O’Neill were opposing captains for the pick-up hockey game. It was a much milder version of the game because of the various ages of the players. Checking was forbidden…at least for this game.
One hour came and went with nobody wanting to go inside yet. To compromise, the warming house was expanded to fit a quarter of the students at a time. Each house would take a break from skating to go inside and enjoy the welcoming feast prepared by the elves before going back out onto the rink.
When it came time for curfew, the students barely had enough energy to change into their nightclothes before falling asleep. None of them managed to last more than ten minutes. The staff (apart from security) lasted about twice as long.
A/N: Tomorrow will probably be short as well because it’s supposed to be busy at work.
