 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch
Between Beans' whimpering and his concentration on collecting as many snowballs as he could, the blond hadn't heard anyone sneaking up behind him. He hadn't even realized that Beans had suddenly gone quiet until he had gathered enough amo, one snowball at the ready in one of his hands.
The sound of one of his sister's voices did make him freeze for a moment before he slowly turned around. To his relief, it was Melody. Nova for sure would have snuck up on him before making a move, and Bryony most definitely would have made a battle cry and wasted no time tackling him or pelting him with snowballs. Melody, though, well, he found it easier to reason with her. He just had to choose his next words very carefully.
"You shouldn't because," he began, pausing for a moment to consider all of the options before continuing, "you could join me. Full access to my stash. And a guarantee that you won't be targeted by me." To him that sounded like quite the deal. He then held out the hand with the snowball he was carrying, offering it to Melody, and waited to see what her decision would be.
