Opeila had finally gone near the branch again, she had avoided to even look at for weeks. She had brushed the snow of the branch she liked to sit on and then climbed on it to read a book.
She enjoyed the snow and the cold. They made everything seem so quiet and peaceful, even a little quieter than the library. In the winter the librarian was especially strict, the Slytherin had noticed. She wondered, if some competition was going on there, between the librarian and winter.
Whatever it was, it meant that she wasn't even allowed to breathe loudly.
Opeila had taken a muggle book outside with her. An old novel, that her father gave her. "The Smoke Thieves", it said on the cover. But now, that Opeila was outside, she couldn't really be bothered to read it. So she just put the book on her stomach and looked up in the sky through the leafless branches and twigs of the tree. It looked like there was more snow to come. Opeila turned her head to the side. Yes, her destroyed snowman was still there, where the stranger cat had jumped at it. She smiled at the memory of the snowball fight, that started afterwards. There were many fun moments since she had entered the castle, she realized. No need to waste a thought on the bad things that had happened. She had learned her lesson for now. And he would learn his.
Opeila turned her head to the sky again. Soon she fell asleep.

@Opeila SeilunDale made his way through the snowy landscape, the cold wasn't all that bad anymore, things were starting to dial down, his hoodie was a bit lighter then it was just a week ago. He was making his way over to his rust plate, he needed to collect more samples for testing, but it was so damn far away, the walk was much longer than Dale wanted it to be, he could move to a different place, but he was weak and too afraid that someone would catch him midway through the act...
But as Dale was walking through the grounds... he noticed something... no no, it was a someone, that someone was sleeping on a... tree branch, the girl must've been very light, because she was able to perfectly balance on the branch. But Dale was a bit worried about the cold, she could get sick out here, even he avoided taking naps outside... much too cold.
He walked over to the girl's tree, it looked like she had fallen asleep while reading a book, she looked pretty peaceful, he felt a little bad for waking her up... "Hey, if you wanna sleep I think you should do it inside!" Dale said, almost shouting.

Opeila had always been a light sleeper, so when she heard the boy next to her, she woke up immediately and almost fell off her branch. She only just could hold herself. "You scared me! No need to shout!", she said, startled, but in a friendly tone. Then she took a closer look at the boy. A Slytherin like her, but a second year, she thought. She could vaguely remember seeing him in the common room sometimes, but she didn't know his name.
Opeila sat up and brushed some snow off her hair. "You're probably right. I didn't mean to fall asleep though. Huh. Well. I guess I should have expected this to happen. Didn't sleep a lot the past few weeks.", she sighed.
Strangely, after this short nap, the Slytherin felt way more optimistic than before. She had needed this to clear her head. Opeila would have another six years in this place to figure things out. Why had she been in such a rush before? Her Dad wouldn't be able to make her drop out of Hogwarts. This was a choice he couldn't take away from her. Anyway, he had always just been worried that someone would find out, that his family wasn't like any other family. He wasn't thinking of anyone but himself. So why should she think of him in this matter.
Oh, right. She wasn't alone on this tree, there was a boy next to her, who was probably thinking now, that she was strange. "Sorry.", she said. "I uh... I'm a little distracted lately. Opeila Seilun, nice to meet you."

@Opeila SeilunDale felt a little bad about waking up the girl and more embarrassed by his yelling, "S-Sorry Sorry, I-I was just a little concerned you were gonna get sick, can have a fellow housemate g-getting sick." Dale said lightly, The girl had said she wasn't able to sleep that well this week, a common issue shared by many first years, an issue Dale himself had... and still sometimes had. The combination of stress and being far from home created a lotta stress-filled nights full of tossing and turning. "O-Oh, are you a little homesick? Or is it the stress of classes?" Dale wanted to make sure his fellow housemates were safe, and if he was being honest, the prospect of collecting rust for the next hour... just didn't seem very fun right now.
The girl introduced herself as Opeila, "I'm Dale, Dale Kurt, It's nice to meet you too." Dale wondered what brought the girl out here in the first place, it was still winter... so most people who rather read/nap inside, but who was he to question the temperature at what people like to nap. The other girl looked quite energetic for having just woke up from a nap...

The boy immediately started to apologize and stuttered a little, making Opeila feel bad for reacting like she had. "No, no, it is fine, don't apologize. You are right. Thanks for waking me up, I probably really would have gotten sick.", she said, sending the boy a little smile.
When the boy asked if she was homesick or stressed with the classes, Opeila shook her head. "It is a little more complicated than that. I don't feel homesick, I actually don't really want to go back. Strange, right?" She didn't tell him about her family issues. He didn't need to know about her mother being in a self-caused coma and her Dad having hit her in the hospital. And she didn't tell him about Jack Burnett. She still had a tight feeling in her stomach, because she had talked to Selim Faust. Eventually she would go to Jack and warn him. Rather sooner than later.
Then the boy introduced himself as Dale Kurt. He seemed really caring if it came to his housemates. Opeila liked that.
"Alright, Dale.", she said. "Since you are so worried of me getting sick out here... What are you risking it for?" A mischievous smirk appeared on her face. "Ohhh, is this a secret encounter, that I am keeping you away from right now?", she wispered playfully.
"Good timing for something like that, most students stay inside, since it is so cold."
