Snowball Fiasco [Ilona]

[GAVYN SCURLOCH]

[have a snowball fight]

This weekend was not one where they got to go down to Hogsmeade, and, well, with OWLs on the horizon, some fifth years had steam to blow off. So those who didn't mind the chill of snow had gone out onto the lawns for various activities. Several snowmen dotted the grounds while Gavyn was making a snow fort. So far, it was just a two-foot-high shield barrier with a small pile of snowballs ready for a fight, just enough to get things started!

When he was sure he had a good amount of snowballs as well as cover, he decided to scope out potential targets. Grinning, he popped his head over the top of his barrier to look around. There were a lot of good candidates, but if he wanted this to be real fun, he had to start a rivalry, and what better way to do that than to throw a snowball at a Slytherin? Picking up one of his prepped snowballs, he reeled back and chucked a snowball at someone, quickly ducking back down in anticipation of retaliation. "Snowball fight!"

[ILONA KYLLI ROWLE]

Spending an afternoon in the snow was not Ilona’s first choice. She was much more the type to bundle up next to the fire with a good book. Her brother had been the one to drag her outside on that day. While unsure at first, she had eventually relented, happy to spend time with him, even if it did mean freezing her arse off to do it. It seemed they weren’t the only ones taking advantage of the nice winter weather as the grounds were quite populated with students enjoying a good fresh snowfall. Ilona was currently building a snowman with her brother when she felt something hit her in the back.

“Hey!” She quickly whipped out her wand and turned around, ready to face her attacker, only to see nobody behind her. Wand pointed forward, eyes narrowed, she looked around, before focusing on a little snow fort not far from her. There was only one purpose for such a fort, and she had a feeling she’d find her attacker in there. Looking over to the half made snowman, she suddenly had an idea. If this person wanted a fight, well she could give one to them. With a swish and flick she levitated the snowman’s head, trying to make sure not to rouse any suspicions, until it breached the fort’s wall and she let it go, listening for the telltale sound that she had hit her target.

"AH! That's cold!" Gavyn had not noticed the floating snowman's head as he had been making more snowballs to toss for a pending retaliation. He hadn't planned on a giant snowball over his head! Popping up from his little snow shield, he was obviously covered in snow from his head down to his shoulders, the rest falling off as he got up.

"That's cheating!" Wiping his face clear of it revealed a grin and a mischievous glint in his eyes. The game was now on for sure! Reaching down to grab another snowball, he threw it at Ilona purposefully, this time making a face at her and laughing. He shouted in hopes of maybe wrangling more people into the game. "Snowball fight!"
