Find A Way Out (Ana)

Jan. 16, 2025

It was finally Saturday! Mazie was happier than she could express to finally be at school with people her age, but Hogwarts was intense. Their workload was ridiculous and it was seriously harshing her vibe. Mazie wanted to explore the castle, and the grounds and get all her energy out, but instead she found herself stuck indoors, where it was dark and damp and gloomy. At least, it was from her point of view. She itched to get outside and really do something, to the point where doing her schoolwork was becoming all but impossible. 

Which was why Mazie decided to take a day off for relaxing and exploring and other such nonsense. Sure, she had a huge pile of assignments in her dorm, screaming at her for completion, but she didn't care. She needed to feel the chill air and jump in the snow. She had to get out before she screamed. So she grabbed a coat before she left Gryffindor tower and headed for the Entrance Hall. She took the shortcut passage that Jack showed her, mostly just because she could, and actually started whistling once she could see the grand doors that led outside. 

One step outside and Mazie grinned, smiling up at the sky and laughing for no apparent reason at all. All right, now to figure out what she was going to do. She looked around, but it was early enough in the morning that most people weren't up. Or, if they were, they were probably eating in the Great Hall. Mazie skipped breakfast, just needing to get outside already. So she started walking. She didn't really have a destination or anything. She walked and walked until she saw a patch of snow that was somehow untouched. With a laugh of delight, Mazie jumped onto her back and commenced making a snow angel, basking in the cool feel of the snow against her coat and pants. This was just what she needed.
