I'm glad no one needs to be worried about being stuck anymore. The first day seemed harmless when everyone was stuck indoors, but being stuck in the snow is a bit more serious. I was happy to help anyone I saw though.

Warded to Zeke, Reece, Avery, Bae, Cricket, Bianca, Ree, Addy, basically anyone he would consider a friend there are a lot of you

I'm very concerned about my friends being potentially stuck in a dangerous situation. There are many of these little hiccups and pranks and potions, so it would be nice if we could be sure that we're safe. I have an excess of mittens I've sewed over the last month or so, it seems now they can be put to use.

These have been charmed to both keep your hands extra warm with a warming spell, and when tapped with your wand, will alert everyone under this ward of your location. It has a Homonculus charm. I hope that will keep us safe should something ever happen.

I'd hate to think of anything happening to any of you since I love you all dearly.

I have a question...

Wow Lach! These are great!

Oh thank you! I had the mittens already, seemed like a good use of them.

I have a lot of extra socks and scarves if you can think of a good way to use them.

Why, Lachlan Galbraith, you absolute peach!

I do try. I hope you find them useful. They're in all the house colors, so that makes it easy to match, don't you think?

I agree! And they're real cute. I can't believe you sewed them all yourself.

I'm quite interested in knitting. I do it any time I have a spare few minutes.

I know, but the effort. Let me be impressed with you, would you?

Ahh yes, well, be impressed. I wouldn't dare contradict you.

I feel just the same.

[Friends Ward]

Aw, Lach, that's so thoughtful! And clever!

[Lachlan/Cricket]

You can ask me anything! What's up?

It's nice to just get to where you need to go, certainly!

Friends Ward

It was nothing. I had the mittens, and I knew the charms. It seems like a good idea to protect us. Perhaps the school could think about doing something widespread? Given that we have quite a few of these situations...unless they think we need to problem solve more?

Lachlan/Cricket

I was just wondering...do you yet have someone to accompany you to the dance?

Friends Ward

I don't think the staff likes to admit it's anything more than teenage hijinks. And I suspect some of our classmates value their independence a little too much. Can't imagine Casper wearing purple mittens :)

Lachlan/Cricket

~~Oh, I was gonna ask Kenz~~

[...]

[...............]

Nah, not yet. Maggie and I were gonna go together if no one asked us.

Oh! Perhaps you're right. Though I think we're definitely learning to be adaptable. Do you think the mittens aren't very attractive? Or maybe just not very traditionally masculine? I like mittens they are cozy.

Lach/Cricket

Oh well that might work then. I didn't want to assume about a date date but I wanted to go, so I was going to see if some people wanted to go in a group-like. You know, could have a date or not but we go together so the people who don't have a date, like me, won't feel left out. Would you and Maggie want to join?

Fine if not. Though I hope I could get a dance!

Friends Ward

Aw, nah, I think your mittens are super cute. And cozy! I'm not sure about whether they're 'masculine' or not. I've always sorta thought that the concepts of masculinity and femininity are made up anyhow.

Lachlan/Cricket

Oh Of course! I love that idea. The more the merrier :)

You can get as many dances as you'd like, Lachlan.

Friends Ward

I'm glad you like them! I agree. Some people seem to have ideas about activities or clothing that is acceptable for boys or girls to wear but I think whatever makes you comfortable and feel like yourself is good.

Lach/Cricket

I'm glad! I was going to see if there were a few others who wanted to join in!

~~really??~~

Oh good, I won't take too many.

Friends Ward

I know :( Ain't that just the silliest thing? What could possibly be gendered about keepin your fingers toasty?

Lach/Cricket

Yay! Why a big ol' group sounds like lots of fun. I just messaged Maggie and turns out she's going with Tess. [...] And would you believe it, Kenzie just asked me! Is it alright if they tag along, too?

[...]

Honest, Lach, no such thing as too many.

Friend Ward

People are definitely silly. But sometimes that silliness is good, and you take the good with the bad? Usually it's more good than bad!

Lach/Cricket

Oh that's even better! Maggie, Tess, you and Kenzie are all more than welcome to come and that sounds very fun indeed!

Oh sure, I wouldn't want to keep you from ~~someone you'd really~~ your other friends! Better to spread the wealth, as they say.

Omg this is so smart! THANK you!!

My extreme pleasure! Wouldn't want you stuck in the cold!

That would be my actual luck, so. Can you show me how to do that?? Make tracker mittens?

Sure! It's not a SIMPLE charm, but by no means very difficult to do. Complicated but not difficult, if that makes sense.

Loch, you are amazing.

Oh well, thank you! I try to be useful at the least.

You are very useful.

I sure hope so!!
