"Thanks!" picking up the cup of cocoa. "Same here. Love the snow. I love skiing in particular."

Blake smiled warmly to them both and served two small plates with common sweets for the weather-- cookies, cakes, a bit of fudge and did the same thing, slid the plates in front of each girl. He sipped his own cup and tilted his head questioningly, "What's skiing?"

"It is a muggle sport. Basically you attach strips of wood to your feet and shuffle along with poles. Wow it sounds really odd now that I'm explaining it."

Blake gave a tinkling laugh and stifled it, sipping at his cup again. "My my, it does sound a tad silly but I'm sure it has its merit. Do you ski, Miss Effy? And when do you ski, Miss Nyssa? At home, or do you have to go somewhere to do this skiing?"

"No, I've never heard of skiing. It does sound a bit silly."

"The type of skiing I do I can do anywhere. I actually brought my skis with me to school so I might go out sometime this week."

Blake took a square of fudge and bit half off, setting the other half on the plate next to his hot cocoa saucer. He hummed in thought and considered the idea of skiing, "Are these wooden strips propelled somehow? Magic? A charm?"

"Just your legs and gravity. It is really good exercise."

"Maybe we should try this skiing bit together then, sometime before the snow melts. You could instruct us, Miss Nyssa! What do you think Miss Effy? Would you like to try?" Blake was sure a simple duplicating charm or spell the two elder girls knew could be done to produce them each a pair of these skis and poles.

"Yeah, I would be willing to try it, I suppose."

Blake refilled both of their cups and set down the hot chocolate container, "Or we could always just have a leisurely stroll, have a snow fight, whatever can be done in the snow. Spring might be back soon, and the weather won't last very long."

"Do you have any suggestions Miss Effy?" Blake picked up his copy of The Perks of Being a Wallflower from the table and set it on the bench, scared it might get stained by any food or drinks.

"I would be game for that too."
