"Alright we wont do anything now but believe me one day i will figure out a way to bring wrath down upon her." Beth replied as she shrugged and began to walk again. They found themselves by the great hall , the great wooden doors seemed to beckon to them. She felt the need to go outside because for some reason the castle atmosphere seemed almost suffocating.
She laughed as she watched Ace try to open the doors with his wand. He of course had no luck seeing as there had been some serious magic used to keep everyone that was inside the castle in and anything outside, on the other side. She chuckled and then shook her head as he turned to her waiting for the answer on how to get through the barrier. It amused her how he always turned to her for the answers to things that he didn't know , although most of the time she always had the answer he seeked.
She walked past him to the right side of the wooden doors and then tapped a place on the wall twice. She then walked over to the other side and did the same. Finally she stood in front of the doors and then stopped.
"Crap! I don't remember what my mother said was the words to open it . Technically she didn't tell me, i just am very good at eavesdropping" She stated as she frowned and then wracked her brain for the answer.
"Aha!" She whispered as she tapped right between the cracks in the door and then whispered. "The outside beckons us forward." At that the doors swung open with a sudden blast of cold air from the snow outside. She turned to Ace with a grin and then walked outside. " I am brilliant" She whispered as she pulled her robes tighter around her.

'Yeah brilliant, brilliance only because I don't know much about these things." He glared laughingly at her for a moment before motioning her to take out her wand "You know if they catch us, we're doomed, though I'm sure your mother won't punish us too much." He gulped at fear of being punished even more so than he had in the past few days
He walked past her, pulling his robe tighter against his skin, he at times like this wished he had learned some sort of charm to keep them warm but that was seventh year studies. He tapped his wand against his leg, muttering "Lumos" the wand tip ignited in a luminescent white hue, cascading gracefully against the snow in all directions, he motioned for her to do the same

Beth wrinkled her nose at him and then laughed as she walked down the stairs that lead up into the castle.
"You worry way to much, after everything we have gotten ourselves into in the last five years i would think you would be used to it by now!" She stated laughing. They always seemed to be in trouble for some reason.
"Plus on the other hand my mother and Verto cant exactly do anything more to us then they have already, aside from expelling us but i highly doubt that will ever happen." She added as she began to shiver. It was really cold outside.
She extended her wand out in front of her and copied the spell he had just done.
"Lumos" She whispered. Her wand ignited and the white light allowed her to see as she looked over at Ace, waiting for him to direct them somewhere.

The combination of their wands lit the path he was searching for, it would be a long trek but he had to see what this Root character was about, he needed to speak with him. "I'm sorry, but this is going to be a cold walk - I wish I could provide more warmth but if you want to turn back I'll understand." He told her, pausing letting the snow and wind blow between them
The harsh wind felt like a freight train hurling itself at them, but he continued on. His fingers had gone numb, he couldn't feel the wand in his hands regardless how hard he held it, but he knew it was there as the light remained.

The wind was blistering as it blew past them and it made it hard to hear one another. She stopped as Ace did and then watched him start to walk again. She moved quickly to keep up with him and then pushed him .
"Are you stupid? Do you honestly think I'm going to turn back and let you go only god knows where by yourself? I didn't just put both our tails on the line just to turn back because its cold. If you think i would, you honestly don't know me very well" She yelled over the wind.
Her arms were folded in an odd way so that her wand could still illuminate the way as they walked but it somehow kept her slightly warmer. She had no idea where they were headed but she knew she was up for anything. It beat sitting in the castle waiting for another attack, or watching her mother and Verto be all lovey dovey toward each other. She cringed at the thought and then silently laughed to herself.

"Good point, you've never turned back before so why I assume you would now was pointless of me." He twirled his wand around to point at the path, nudging her along they soon made their trek through the heavily dense snow that made them both extremely chilled to the bone He wanted to talk to Cadmus, who took lodging somewhere in Hogsmeade but why did he feel such an urge to meet him, did he hold the answers to what Ace wanted.
The snow felt like a thousand individual pebbles being flung in unison against his face, he flicked his wand twice but to no avail. It was unknown what he was trying to accomplish - but it wasn't happening. Frustration came over him, between the weather and the darkness he felt like turning back but they've gone so far, they were near Hogsmeade. The soft glow was nearly visible, lights hanging magically in the streets gave an eerier somberness to the whole situation.

"My point exactly , so stop doubting me." She stated over the sound of the blistering cold wind. They walked for awhile before it came to dawn on her that they were headed in the same direction as hogsmead. She couldn't for the life of her figure out why in the world they were going there at this hour.
She glanced at Ace a couple times, each time opening her mouth to ask him why they were headed there but each time she stopped and closed her mouth. Whatever he had in mind there had to be a logical reason to explain it. Her whole body was like ice and she was beginning to get sick of walking. She finally turned to Ace and frowned at him .
"Please explain to me why we are going to Hogsmeade? " [/b][/color][/blockquote]

Glancing back and forth were only shared for a brief moment between them, neither wanted to rest and let the chill of winter attack them. He continued walking, brushing off her question, he was so intent on arriving at Hogsmeade he undervalued her inquiry.
"Mmph" trudging along, his feet felt like cement with each pull through the snow they were nearing Hogsmeade, they were right on the bank of the village, he bent down and peered in the streets. Not a single soul stirred, but the lights remained glowing as if by string they swayed back and forth.
"I need to talk with Cadmus about our headmaster, I want to know where he has been going and he seems to know where he is." his words were whispered to her, a loud bang cut off the end of his sentence stirring a cat to screeched and run through the snow in front of them. "Nox" canceled out the light admitting from his wand, glancing at Beth he hoped she followed suit

She knew Ace had heard her question but instead he just kept on walking. She folded her arms in the weird way again and shook her head as they kept walking.They entered Hogsmead and noticed right away that it was bare, no one was out anywhere. When he finally answered her she kept her gaze to the ground and said not a word. She pondered on his words for a few seconds before they both heard a loud bang. She jumped and looked around as she too put out the light at the end of her wand.
"I honestly don't think its a good idea for us to be asking around about verto , nor is it our business where he has been going." Her whisper was barely audible to Ace let alone anyone else that could be around them.
"Maybe this wasn't the best idea in the world. What was that bang?" She asked again in a whisper. She continued to look around but yet saw absolutely nothing moving anywhere. She turned to Ace hoping he knew exactly what they were getting themselves into .
