Anyway, most people would probably be freezing in this weather, and Derry was used to it, so even that would look weirder. Psh, it was exhausting trying not to look like a complete freak in front of all these new people, but she was making friends and stuff which was awesome, so she wanted to keep doing that.

Of COURSE it had snowed enough to make a snowman. Even an inch of snow was enough, if you didn't mind making a really tiny snowman, but this was lots. "Definitely." Derry said, a big smile on her face. "Back home we used to use heather and grass and stuff as hair..." she said absentmindedly, bending down to start packing the snow together. "And dad always gave me a carrot to use as the nose but one time my horse ate it and trampled the snowman so... we stopped doing that." That was a nice memory actually, even though they had spent hours building the snowman, they'd been riding afterwards and Osiris had apparently been hungry...

Bliss tried to remember her other snow related memories. Last year, lots of students had had snow ball fights, those had been fun. She glanced across at Derry .. maybe later. She'd ask first, of course, but surely the Slytherin couldn't say no to the chance of throwing snow at people without consequences. Or rather, not consequences from teachers. There may be some from her herself, but that was the way the game worked. An eye for an eye, a snowball for a snowball.

~~*hums*~~ .. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snooow.

"GREAT," Bliss said enthusiastically, mirroring Derry's smile. It had snowed more than the fourth year had originally thought, so hopefully a big snowman could be made. "Oh. I've never had hair on a snowman." Heather and grass seemed like a good idea, though .. if had snowed, where did they get it from? Never mind, there was probably a logical explanation. For now, she'd just get on the snow-packing-into-balls. Bliss scooped up a small pile of snow and squashed it into something that resembled a small ball and held it up proudly, "we have a start!" Heh. She put it back down and let it rest on the other patches on snow. Time to add to it, she thought and listened to what else Derry had to say. By the end, they were both smiling. Happy memories were happy, yes? "I wish we had a carrot to put on it now," she sighed.

Though, they'd kinda need to build the snow man first :|
