Reindeer Games
The first quidditch match of the season had to have a freak blizzard align with it. Lavender made sure to securely bundle herself up and utilize her House scarf to protect her face as she stepped out into the snow with her gloved hand in Padma's. She donned a similar outfit but of blue and bronze, contrasting well with the Gryffindor's bolder colors.
"We're going to be late and there won't be any good spots left!" Padma complained before pulling her scarf over her face.
"I'm sorry! I couldn't find my scarf and gloves," Lavender said, squeezing her hand in apology.
The pair trudged through the sheet of snow aggressively blowing around them in whirlwinds to the Pitch. It was Ravenclaw versus Gryffindor today, the first match of the season, and Lavender always enjoyed watching the matches. Padma not so much, but she liked to spend time with her girlfriend so it was worth freezing her face off to be a part of something Lavender enjoyed. Padma did the same, of course. Lavender's enthusiasm was contagious, and it was one of the many things Padma loved about her.
"I offered you my spares," Padma said, smirking behind her scarf. "Ravenclaw's going to win, you know."
Lavender laughed at the gentle taunt. The Pitch was barely visible now, so the pair picked up the pace.
"We will see, the reindeer games haven't even started yet!"
