˖*. WINTER BREAK .*˖

By the time winter break came along, Diane had learned numerous new matters. Such as the skurge and freezing charm. She had also been able to successfully turn a porcupine into a pin cushion and brew a swelling solution as well as a strengthening solution by now.

The guest lectures which the students of Castelobruxo and Ilvermorny taught now and again were highly educational and exciting as well.

Ezequiel and another green robed girl named Lorena joined them in a few Herbology lessons, teaching them their way of doing things.

It wasn't a secret that Castelobruxo students were extremely talented at Herbology and Magizoology. Ezequiel certainly wasn't an exception, as he surprised Diane by growing fluxweed in a matter of minutes.

'All you have to do is-' Ezequiel slowly poured a newly made concoction onto the lowest branch of the plant, concentrating hard while watching it drip slowly down the base of the plant. 'And, ahí está!'

'Seems easy when you do it!' Diane chuckled, taking the vial and placing it safely on one of the higher shelves.

The two had been going over the contents she struggled with for about an hour now. Professor Longbottom had giving certain students permission to use the greenhouses during the break.

Diane's grades weren't glorious this term, so she was one of the students given permission to practice.

A knock on one of the greenhouse windows made them both jump up, Diane nearly knocking the growing plant of the desk.

Through the window an overly excited Lorcan was frantically waving, mouthing the words 'come out' before getting hit in the back of the head with a snow ball.

His brother stood several feet behind him, roaring with laughter.

The twins were staying at Hogwarts during the break as well. Their parents were going on another one of their so called quests. This time, looking for the Crumple-Horned Snorcack in Sweden.

Diane put her dark green slytherin scarf around her neck while Ezequiel placed her grey hat on top of her head.

The two linked arms and walked out the door, immediately feeling the cold winter air seeping through their thick cloaks.

The Hogwarts grounds were decorated with a thick layer of snow this time of year. Diane loved seeing the tiny snowflakes falling down from the grey sky and landing on people's hair or clothes, where they always seemed to disappear within seconds.

She was admiring the snow-covered whomping willow when she underwent the same fate as Lorcan.

Being hit on the side of her arm with a snow ball. She hastily turned around and saw a grinning Ezequiel, standing next to Lysander and high-fiving him.
