Laura looked at Rose and giggled. "You really are mental." Laura scooped up some snow and then walked upto Rose and shoved it in her face, Laura then scooped up some more snow and walked over to Alec and shoved it down his top. "Girls rules and Boys and Mental Girl drools." Laura giggled running of back towards Ella and Sophie."

WHAT?? Had Sophie heard right?? Theodore was telling the boys to throw ALL snowballs at HEEEEER??

Nooooooooooooooooooooooononono!!! She tried her best to jump around - a moviment target was harder to be hit, right? - and scooped up some more snow to mare her own ball.

With all her might, she threw it towards Theodore! Yeah, take THAT, little Slythie!!

This was chaos. Pure awesome messy ridiculous chaos. Ella could help but laugh as she took another snowball to the back, thrown by the boy supporter-girl. Had a nice arm, that one did. She made a mental note to keep out of her line of fire.

As Sophie caught on to her plan, Ella smiled and continued to send snowballs flying towards the boys (and girl) nailing Alec with two, one after the other. She laughed, ruffling her own hair teasingly. Then she sent three more zooming over to their fort. These were aimed at the little one, what was his name again? Theo? THEO. That's right, little lurker, those are for you! BAHAHAHA

Ella decided that as good as they were doing with the small snowballs, they needed a better plan of attack. Something bigger. She eyed Sophie, knowing how good she was with charms. "Any idea how we can make this a little more interesting?"

As the snow was shoved in her face, Rose beamed and licked it. It tasted nice! SNOW NOW TASTED NICE!
'THANK YOU!' she yelled after the girl, before grabbing some snow and shoving it down the young girl's top. Well... She was nice... The girl obviously knew it was nice to have snow down her shirt from experience, so Rose didn't feel guilty for this! And... Mental girl...? That wasn't very nice... It was true! But not nice to have said to your face... Ah well, she was used to that sort of thing from her old life as a muggle.

NOOOOOOOOO.

Everyone was using MAGIC now. And there was the tiny, just turned eleven, first year who had very little control over her wand. Most of the time, sparks erupted out the end of the stick and caused her too-big robes to ignite. At which point she would jump into freezing water and avoid the looks certain Ravenclaws gave her.

So... Magic was out of the question.

And now Rose was using magic to throw a HUUUUUGE pile of snow in Sophie's direction.



NOT FAIR.

SHE WAS A TALL PERSON WHO MUST BE IN FOURTH OR FIFTH YEAR.

AGAINST ICKLE SECOND YEARS. ....and a little girl with a colourful name and a decent name.

NOOOOOOOS.

"SOOOPPPPHHHIIIIEEE! DUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKK!"

DUCK.

Theodore ducked and managed to dodge Sophie's snowball. HA. "TOO SLOW, HUFFLEPUFF." Was he taking this too far? Sophie was like.. one of his closest friends. Hopefully she would know he was just kidding. He laughed, but... but...

THEN THREE CAME AT HIS FACE.

The snowballs, thrown by Ella, knocked the boy onto his back and he lay there for a moment or two, in complete shock.

"Ow."

HE NEEDED AN AMBULANCE.

Okay, no... He was okay. Theodore scrambled to his feet and sulked behind the fort for a few seconds.

Sophie laughed at the craziness that was their snowball fight. It was all pretty funny, actually!

HUH?? She heard Blue shouting and turned quickly in her direction. AAHHH!! She ducked the snow that Rose girl had thrown at her. "HEEY!" She yelled, but she was having a fit of laughter. She scooped some more snow and threw it at the boy-supporter girl.

HAHAHAHA!!! Sophie cracked up at Theodore's face again. That was just too awesome!

Ella came to talk to her. A spell? OH YES! SHE KNEW A COOL ONE! One that a REALLY NICE Slytherin had taught her, actually. "We can make them all bigger! Here!" She said excitedly as she picked up mooooore snow and made another ball. "Engorgio!" And the ball was now 4 times bigger than it was before.

BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! And swish and flick! "Wingardium Leviosa!" Sophei made the ball fly reeeeally fast towards anyone behind the boys' fort!

Laura looked at the girl, seriously licking snow wasn't right, she deserved to be in St Mungo, Laura tackled the girl to the ground and then started pillling the snow into the girls top, she was only getting her own back. "Do you give yet Mental Girl?" Laura giggled.

OH! Good ducking action! "That was great, Rose!" Like really! The girls had better not be taking any notes of their famous tactics! No! This was something the boys had come up with and so, the boys were going to use their tactics and win this thing!

THE WAR IS ON LADIES!

SOPHIE! She just sent lots over towards them! This wasn't fair at all! "GUYS!" And Rose. "TAKE COVEEEERRRRR!" You know, in case they didn't know. Alec bent down and hid his head behind the bench. Something cold scraped along his back though and, when he turned to look back, he found the snowball rolling off his hoodie. Sophie Campbell, this was one of his favourite hoodies!

Did Theo not understand his plan? "If we flip our hair at them, they'll get distracted!" It made complete sense! "And then we can throw snowballs at them and WIN THIS THING!" Unless Theo didn't want to win? But from the way he was throwing the snowballs, it seemed like he did want to win!

"Yeah, that sounds great!" he said, nodding enthusiastically, "But... does anyone know how to do the enlarging spell?" His eyes went to Rose. She was the oldest here. She probably knew, right? He knew how to do the levitation one! He could do that to sent the balls to the girls! YEAH!

"YEAH!" he said, packing another snowball and throwing it as hard as he could towards Sophie. Friends will forgive each other afterwards, right? Right.

AND ELLA SENT ONE OVER TO HIM! WHAT WAS THIS?! Alec shook his head and glared at the girl. Ella was going to be a target. Yes, she was! Alec packed a HUGE snowball and threw it at the blonde. THERE! That's what she got for ruffling her hair in front of him. ... He wanted to ruffle his hair as well!

... How did the girls know the spell and the boys didn't? What was this madness?! And Sophie was sending one their way! "GUYS! DUCK!" This was not good. Not good at all! "We need some new tactics, guys! And a stronger fort!" Otherwise the girls were going to tear their fort DOWN!

Rose burst out laughing and squirmed. 'IT TICKLES!' she squealed, grabbing the snow and putting it all on the girl's head. 'But it does taste nice... I wonder if you'd taste nice... Hm...' Yes, she was now doing this on purpose. She loved messing with people's heads. It was amazing. She continued to put the snow on the girl's head, beaming.

She looked over at Alec who was talking about an enlargement charm and nodded. She knew how to do one of those. If Alec could get this girl off of her, she could help them with this spell, which would hopefully guarantee them the win. This was the good thing about being older... *le smirk*

COME ON BOYS! GIVE IN ALREADY!

Blue made another snowball and threw it at the fort, though it looked small and feeble alongside Ella and Sophie's HUUUGE ones. Was it a terrible thing that she felt JEALOUS of their magical abilities. WHY OH WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN FIRSTIES AGAINST SECOND YEARS? Then she wouldn't feel terrible 'bout not making huge snowballs.

Blue raised her arm to fling another when she noticed the boy supporter LICK some snow and then shove it down Laura's back. "EWWWW. That's yucky and very deffinetly NOT healthy!" And she flung the snowball at Rose, to distract her from 1. eating snow and 2. attacking Laura.



THIS WAS FUUUUUN.

Sophie was too busy cracking up and trying not to fall down on the ground from laughing so hard when Alec's snowball hit her right in the head!

She finally fell down and quickly lifted her head to look in his direction. "OOWW!!" She said frowning, but busted out laughing a few seconds later. That had hurt, but she knew they were all just playing and well, adrenaline could make everyone go nuts sometimes!

Once again, she scooped MOOOORE snow and quickly made another ball to THROW AT ALEC SUMMER WHO HAD KNOCKED HER DOWN!

SOPHIE HAD JUST STOLEN THEIR TACTIC.

Theodore stomped his foot but couldn't do anything more than DUCK. He didn't know these kind of spells, so he just threw four repeatedly back at Sophie with his super strong arms. That would have to do.

"Demonstrate the hair flipping." He still didn't get it.

WHAT. His team was rubbish! No one knew the enlarging spell. Well, SOPHIE knew it. Maybe he was on the wrong team.

"MAGIC ISN'T FAIR." Theodore piped up to the group, "I DUNNO MAGIC VERY WELL."

Laura was about to smile at Blue when suddenly it had turned dark, when had that happened. "Can't breath..." Laura muttered as she tried to get Rose to take some of the snow off her, in the end she did all she could think of, she quickly kicked out and hoped she'd connect with whoever was near.

Rose smiled and helped the girl off of her, pushing the bit of snow that had stayed on the girl's head onto the ground. There really wasn't that much... She wouldn't comment on the melodramaticness of it, that would be silly, and would get her into fights. She had enough of those going on. She looked down at her watch and blinked. She was late for her appointment with her homework buddy. Ah well, it could wait another few minutes.
She skipped back to the boys and pulled her wand out. 'Enlargement spell?'

Ella smiled as the snowballs she sent towards Theo hit him...but wait O___O They had hit him in the face! The second year hadn't meant to do that! She didn't want to hurt anyone exactly...just pin them to the ground with her snowballs! That's all. She made a mental note to apologize to the little lurker when things were all done. Maybe she'd even share some gummy worms with him. MAYBE.

The blonde beamed at Sophie when she started making their snowballs bigger. "COOL!" She said, excited. She picked up her own wand and pointed it at the smaller snowballs piling up in front of her. "Engorgio!" Ella watched as the seven small snowballs grew in front of her eyes. Magic was definitely awesome! GRIN. She pointed her wand at one of them and sent it flying towards the boys fort, wondering who it would hit.

O_O Suddenly the front of Ella's jacket was covered in snow. Huh? She looked up to see that Alec was glaring at her. Glaring? She laughed before waving at him innocently. Was her fellow puff getting mad or something? Heh. She hoped he was only pretending to be mad. It was just a silly game after all. She sent a smaller snow ball back at him, throwing it this time without the magic. There? A goodwill throw. Happy now, friend?

The second year couldn't help but notice that Blue wasn't using magic. D'aww. Maybe she didn't know how. Ella pocketed her own wand and walked over to the small girl. "Hey Blue, nice snowballs you have here. You rolled all these yourself?" And she picked one up and threw it with all her might at the boys fort. "I think I'll play without magic for a while. You look like you're having more fun anyway!"

It was freezing cold as Alyssa took a walk near the Whomping Willow. She could hear the sound of laughter and wondered what was going on, when a snowball went whizzing by her. SNOWBALL FIGHT!!

Alyssa noticed that Alec, Sophie Asher, Laura and even Adeline were involved in it. So she slowly crept up behind Alec and Laura. Bent down and scooped up some snow, formed a ball and then picked up more snow and made another ball. Then she let fly the first one at Alec and the second one at Laura. Hitting both of them in the back.

SPLAT!! SPLAT!!

Everything was happening so fast snowballs flying in every direction. Dodging the ones that were coming his way. He bent down to grab so snow but was hit by one that he didn't see coming. It hit him it the side.

He stumbled a bit. But after regaining his balance he made a snowball and threw it at one of the girls.

Blue smiled gratefully and nodded proudly at Ella.

Yush. She had rolled 'em ALL BY HERSELF. ...'Cause she was awesome like that. ...And she couldn't use magic to make 'em so... She overheard Theo shout about not using magic....And agreed. Silently though. She didn't want to be a spoil sport as they'd often put it in her stupid, old school.

"TAKE THAT!" And she threw a snowball at the fort, not hitting the boys but made some of the snow crumble so that was good.

Sophie saw Ella going towards Blue and saying something about not using magic. Aw! The adrenaline made Sophie get all hyper and she didn't realise the little girl was just throwing small little snowballs.

She rushed in their direction. "NO, ELLA!" She said with a BIG GRIN on her face. "I have a better idea!" She pointed her wand at the snowballs in front of the girls. "Engorgio! Engorgio! Engorgio!" She started enlarging ALL OF THE BALLS!

HECK YEAH! THEY WERE GOING TO WIN THIS!

She was too busy making the balls bigger that got hit by 2 of Theo's snowballs. She faked a big gasp and stared at him. "You're going DOOOWN, LITTOE BOOOY!!" And she picked up one of her BIG SNWOBALLS and threw it at him! Muahahahaha!

She noticed Alyssa coming towards them and joining the fight as well! "HERE, ALYSSA! OVER HERE!" She WAAAVED. "IT'S GIRLS VERSUS BOYS!!"

WHAT THE HECK? So everyone on the opposing team knew the enlarging spell? Theodore rose to his feet and was about to abandon his team there and then, until Rose mentioned that she knew it.

"YOU KNOW THE SPELL? MAKE THE BIGGEST SNOWBALL EVER." He pointed to a pile of snow that he created.

Then they would levitate it above their heads.

And..

And...

TRAP THEM ALL FOREVER.

It was not fair that the girls knew how to make their snowballs bigger and he knew nothing at all. None of the boys knew how to do anything, really. This wasn't good, was it? Not at all! Come on boys! They needed to do something! And FAST! Otherwise the girls were going to win! And frankly, he wanted to WIN THIS THING!

"YES!" he said, as Rose came back, "Enlargement spell! Do you know how to do it?" She could make them bigger and him and Theo can throw them at the girls. YESSSS! THIS COULD JUST WORK! Hopefully she'd be able to do it. Because if she couldn't, then they really were doomed. And they might just have to run up to the girls and threaten to cover them in cooties.

... That could work as well.

AND THEN HE GOT HIT! SOPHIE CAMPBELL! NOT FAIR! But he did knock her down... he can make sure she was okay later on. Yeah. As for now... the girl had sent a snowball flying so that it whizzed through his wonderful hair. If she was jealous of his hair, she could have just said so. There was no need to send snowballs at it! What kind of madness was this?

Demonstrate it? "Like this!" he stood up slightly so that he was still cowering behind the bench but the girls could see the top of his head and his hair properly. He flipped it to the side, shaking off any loose snow. There. Maybe that would work against the girls...?

Oh Ella! Alec chuckled and ruffled his hair at her just as... she sent a snowball at him! OH NO! His hair AGAIN! "NOT MY HAIR!" The thirteen year old bent down and packed another snowball before sending it towards his fellow second year. ... They really did need better tactics though.

NOT LYSSIE! NO NO NO! Alec let out a yell as he ducked down behind the bench. "Guys, what are we going to do?!" And it was just then that Asher came out and threw a snowball at one of the girls. "Good going mate!"

Laura looked at Rose and realised her plan had work, now whilst Rose was talking to the others, Laura had them all in her sights. "Geminio." Laura said as she duplicated her snowballs and then "Engorgio." Laura made them even larger. "HEY ROSE, ALEC, And Mister I don't know have this." And Laura used her wand to throw them all at the boys and of course mental girl.

Laura then save the last one for Alyssa who had decided that she wanted to join in the snowball fight, well Laura would take out everyone if she had to it wouldn't bother her.

Rose looked up and waved her wand, pointing it at the snow Mean Girl had sent at them. 'Reducio!' Well, that was easy. Rose shrugged and started enlarging a bunch of snow for the boys to chuck or do whatever they wanted with them, she was just making them big and helping make the fort stronger at the same time...
'GO GO GO!' she yelled, grinning.

"OHMYGOSH, LAURA, THAT'S BRILLIANT!!" Sophie yelled as she rushed around like crazy avoiding snowballs that were flying everywhere.

They were in a MAGICAL SCHOOL, so it was only fair that they had a MAGICAL SNOWBALL FIGHT!! It made total sense in Sophie's head. Especillay to her, that loved spells oh so much!

Pointing her wand at the pile of snowballs - that had been already enlarged by herself - she pretty much shouted the spell. "GEMINIO!!" OWEMKWNRGJNWRGJ!!! SO MANY SNOWBALLS THAT WAS SO AWESOME!
