She'd wish her best friend a very Happy Christmas later, closer to the day of. It was harder to give such sweet words when, rather than being out in the open to greet your friend, you were in hiding.
Which was an awfully dramatic way to put it, but Hermione could admit to herself that that was exactly what she was doing. Well-dressed for being outside in such weather, scarf neatly around her neck, she was hiding behind and peeking out past a tree just beyond the Quidditch pitch. Waiting for Cassi to appear from practice or what not.
When she spotted the other girl, fluffy flakes falling from the sky onto an already coated ground, she very quietly scooped up snow with both gloved hands. Then, creating a snowball with it, lobbed it over, aiming beside her friend. Her natural aim, it wasn't the best, so the snowball made some contact with Cassi's lower leg. Whoops.
Obviously, she didn't intend on remaining hidden for very long yet even with the unintentional hit by snowball, Hermione stayed tucked behind the tree, peeking out juuuust enough to see her friend's face.
For Cassi!
