Keeley grudingly took the gloves and put them on. Watching, fascinated by Bella's wand work, she almost forgot her coldness, which was now making her face grow numb. "Oh! Yes please."

It was going to hit him, it was going to hit him... Reese kept a close eye on the snowball she had thrown towards Jack, hoping he wouldn't turn around until the snowball hit him. But, unfortunatly, he did. This was the time she wished he wasn't a seeker, because then maybe he wouldn't have had the speed to get out of the path of the snowball, but he did - darn. She narrowed her eyes at her boyfriend, but said nothing back due to the fact that Rafe was back and he had more snowballs! Eep.

She swirved and barely missed the snowball by a few centimeters. That was a close one! "Good luck next time," she told him with a smile. After saying that, she picked up one of the three snowballs she had and threw it towards Rafe as hard as she could. Not wanting to see if it hit him or not, she turned her broom around and zoomed off away from Rafe. Another possible reason she zoomed off was because TORIN WAS CHASING HER! She had this feeling that the Hufflepuff wanted to knock her off her broom and that was so not going to happen.

She continued to look back every now and then to watch Torin chasing after her and when he finally stopped to go after Jack, she stopped and turned her broom around to face Torin. "This is for chasing me half-way across the pitch," she called out before taking one of the two snowballs she had left and threw it towards the back of Torin's head.

O_____o

After throwing the snowball towards Torin, she noticed LouAnn and Professor Vindictus. Actually, she only noticed Professor Vindictus at first, because it was kind of hard to miss him with a BLUDGER SIZED snowballs getting onto a broom. Oh, no! She just stared at the Professor until he became a blur on the field. Then, out of nowhere, LouAnn was attacked. Ohmygosh. She intentionally gripped her broom tighter and rose a little higher in the sky. How was she possibly going to protect herself with one little snowball?

Hearing some sort of evil laugh, the Slytherin looked away from the Professor and turned to face the person she wished wasn't here right now. Cameron Karsten. She narrowed her eyes at the younger Slytherin and swerved her broom out of the way to dodge the snowball he had thrown. "Nice try," she muttered. She glanced down at the last snowball she had and came to a final decision that she would use it on Cam. Picking it up, she gave the boy a little smile before throwing the snowball as hard as she could at him.

Looking for her next target Marie was feeling pretty confident about not getting hit when all of a sudden
'THWACK'
She had been hit hard on the arm causing her hand to slip off of her broom. "OWWW, hey I thought we were throwing snow, that felt more like ice." 'That's going to leave a bruise' she thought as she tried getting her balance back. Her gloves had gotten so wet from all the snow it was difficult to get a good grip on her broom but she managed. Realizing how high in the air she was she decided she better get herself closer to the ground just in case she got knocked off her broom. She didn't want to end up in the hospital ward with broken bones.

As she was just about at ground level she seen the girl who had hit her laying in the snow. Knowing her time in the air was coming to an end Marie scooped up as many snowballs as her pockets would hold and flew back in the air to try and hit someone. Wanting desperately to knock one of the older students off their broom she started throwing snowballs at everyone she flew past. Not waiting around to see if she actually hit anyone she flew back down towards the ground to a safe level just in case she got hit again.

Bella looked around, "Um if you have any fuzzy peices of fabric, I could maeka huge blanket," said Bella looking around.

ah she was now nice and dry, but that didn't stop her from being so cold. She would be suprized if no one got sick after this, well I mean if no one dried off, but everyone looked fine to her, just cold.

Bella tug into her pockets looking for something fuzzy. she thought she might had had a fuzzy bookmark or something......

Bella then looked up at all the people still in the game, wow things were getting really rough right now, and some people had decided to protect others. mmm facinating.

Kylie saw Carter's throw flying towards her.. it was going fast. She spun around on her broom quickly, and hardly noticed that Mina had thrown one at her too. Luckily, while spinning she'd hardly missed both of them. A little bit of water trickled down her face, One must have brushed against my hair... she thought to herself. She yelled at both Carter and Mina, "Nice throws guys!" She swooped down picking up snow as she shot around on the ground, she came back up with a fair amount of snowballs wrapped in her cloak. She realized how absolutely soaked she was.. and cold.. but she didn't care enough to stop. No way was she losing without a fight. She aimed one at Carter once more, hitting him square on the back of the neck. That should show him. She thought to herself. She then quickly grabbed another snowball and shot it towards Mina.

Seeing Mina was playing as cautiously as Zoe was made her decide that she might be a good person to engage in battle with. After all, she certainly didn't want to go after one of the more vicious players.

Flying up beside the girl she waved, threw a snowball gently, and before flying off said, "Sorry, Mina."

Vindictus had one snowball left and zoomed directly at Reese. He aimed for her side and let the snowball fly. Then he screeched to a halt in the sky and hovered over the practice pitch as he brought his officiating whistle to his lips.

TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!


"Snowball fight's OVER!" he called out. "Anyone who continues to throw snowballs will be stunned or jinxed by Willow. Land and place your brooms on the broom rack. Homework will be posted before the moon rises."


Satisfied that the students heard him, Vindictus flew down to where Plymouth and Tibi were standing near Willow. "Tibi and Plym - can you check the snowbanks for anyone who might have crashed? I see a broomstick over there." He was pointing to an upright broomstick with two feet sticking out of a snowbank almost twenty feet away.

What he didn't know was that the feet belonged to LouAnn.

Evelyn stopped and hovered in mid air, arm raised with her last snowball, about to throw it, when she had heard that annoying whistle again. 'I...am going to throw this at that KID SO HARD-' Stopping her train of thought, she realized it was the professor who blew the whistle... not Plymouth. The snowball fight was over? Awwwww...

Sighing and hanging her arm lazily by her side while still clinging onto the snowball, Evelyn flew slowly down back to the ground and dismounted. Head hanging low, she dragged her feet over to the broom rack, leaving a trail behind her, and put the broom down upon it. Now that she was on the ground and not paying attention to flying or snowballs, she immediately began to feel her body begin to ache from the few snowballs that hit her...and hard.

"Ow." she winced, dropping her last snowball and rolling her shoulder while holding her side, trying to ease the pain. What were in those snowballs? Rocks and ice?

Oh the snowball fight was over. I wonder who won?
"Exuse me," said Bella raising her hand, "But who won?" she asked the profesor. Well they would be able to go inside now and get nice and warm. Wile waiting for her answer Bella walked over and put her broom away, hoping it didn't look bent at all from the fall. These brooms are strong, they could handle anything. She than began to wonder what there homework would be?

Vindictus took off his goggles and pushed them back onto his head. "Who won? No one won!" he exclaimed. "Now go inside and get yourself some hot cocoa in the Great Hall and relax before the fire."

Aww! No one won, oh well. She was the first one to fall, so its good that they weren't playing to win. Her limbs were now completely numb, and her lips wer blue now. She needed heat, fast! She uttered a brief thanks to the professor, then tried to walk up to the castle, but it's hard when you can't feel your legs.

Yay....class was over. Jule had to roll herself out of the snot pit she had fallen into. Lovely. Next time she'll go after an easy target, that way she won't get jinxed by Willow. As she rolled out, Jule grabbed her wet hat, put it on her head and wrapped her scraf around her face. Sjaking her body to get the snow off, she started heading back inside, where it was nice, warm and DRY.

After trying to lift her fingers, toes, arms...whatever...out of the snow for the past fifteen minutes, LouAnn had finally come to the conclusion that she had indeed turned into a human popsicle. At least her eyes were closed. Having them open would have been a tad painful, yes? No one would think her to be dead, would they? Maybe if she just...you know...hung out here for a while (not that she had any other choice) someone would notice the two feet sticking up in the snow.

"Oh ok," said Bella with a smile.She was trying to be positive even though her head still had hurt. well she said goodbye to the him, and headed to the door where the others where going. She decided to take the advice and went to the grat hall to sit infront of a fire and such things like that.

Before Jule had left, she wondered where LouAnn had went. Slightly looking to her side, she saw two feet sticking up from the ground. It was like the witch in the Wizard of Oz, except upside-down. Walking towards them, she gussed it must've been LouAnn. "I'm gonna try to get yo out," Jule said and began to pull LouAnn by her feet.

Although her legs and feet (just like the rest of her body) had turned into blocks of ice, LouAnn was slightly aware that someone was trying to pull her out the snow. Oh, good! They don't believe me to be dead after all! LouAnn wanted to reach out for whoever her hero was, but her ice-block arms wouldn't allow her to. At least someone had shown up, though!

Kylie landed swiftly and put her broom back into place, she dusted some of the snow off her robes and cloak.. she looked over at the pair of feet sticking out from the snow. She walked over cautiously. She'd noticed they'd pulled the girl out of the snow, "Excuse me? Is there anything I can.. well.. do? You look like a bloody icicle." She hoped she hadn't offended the freezing girl.

"Yeah, you can help me pull LouAnny out," she montioned to the girl. Jule's hands were already numb, but she wasn't going to leave LouAnny out in the cold, with only her feet sticking out.

Was that...a second voice she heard? Although, she was currently a large block of ice, LouAnn had hope that with the growing number of people assisting her, she'd be out (and melted...or, at the ice around her) in no time. If she wasn't in such an odd little predicament, LouAnn would have definitely been crying by now. Why....she dared to ask...was it always her that got into such crazy situations?

Zoe was surprised that class had come to an end already. Where had the time gone. Having the opportunity to get back on a broom must have pulled her into her own little world.

Sadly she landed and deposited the rest of her snowballs on the ground. As she turned to put her broom away she noticed a gathering group of people around a pair of feet sticking out of the snow. Trudging through the snow she approached the group and asked, "Is there anything I can do? If she is really stuck I could perform a warming charm on the snow to help dislodge her." Well, at least by the look of the feet she thought they belonged to a female.

Kylie nodded, "Well, it might work better if we could just melt the snow around her...that way she'll get a little warmer too..." She searched her brain for a spell or charm. Bluebell flames charm., she thought. "Bluebellus." She said calmly, allowing the snow to melt around the nameless figure under snow. When she'd melted enough she gestured for the girl to help her out again. This time she should come out easily. Kylie thought to herself. Grabbing an ankle, she pulled gently.

As much fun as she was having Marie was happy when she heard the professor blow his whistle and announce that the class was over. If she had to stay outside much longer she feared she was going to turn to an ice cube. It was bad enough she already had ice hanging from her hair.
She quickly landed and put her broom back on the broom rack.

As she was about to walk back to the castle she heard the professor tell another student to go to the Great Hall and get some hot cocoa and relax in front of the fire. 'Oooohhh, that's sounds wonderful, that will surely warm me up from the inside out' she thought.
"Bye Professor, this was a great class, I had a blast" Marie said as she walked off the practice pitch. 'Ugh, I'm gonna have some bruises tomorrow' she thought as she felt her body starting to ache.

Zoe was glad that someone else had had the same idea. Since the two girls seemed to have the feet Zoe pushed her way to where she assumed the head would be and put a gentle warming charm on that area as well. After a moment she thought she saw a face she recognized. Bending down she offered a hand. "Hi there," she said with a grin.

Fyo's eyes followed Jake, and he gave a little sigh. Rolling his eyes, he steered clear of the snow Jake had tried to dump, rather unceremoniously, on top of his head. Hehehehe.
Over? Awww, but he had been having so much fun!

Still, Fyo knew it was time to hit the ground, now. With half an airborne shrug, the fourth year slowed down his broomstick, then directed it towards the ground. He landed with a soft thud, then swung his legs off his broom to get off it. Suddenly, he was tired and rather hungry.

Time to hit the broom-rack, manmanMAN.

Hearing a rather loud kind of whistling sound (the whistle) Jake turned his attention to the source of the noise. A kind of quiet had come over the class, so he could hear properly. Nyawwwwww... over? Noticing Fyo had somehow dodged the snow Jake had dropped over him (he had flown as he'd done it...) Jake turned his broom towards the ground and dived straight down, dismounting somewhat ungracefully in the snow (he was very small and managed to sink a little... lot.

After dislodging himself, Jake went to put the broom on the rack and took the tie from around his head. He shivered. Now the adrenaline rush was gone, Jake was FREEEEEEEEEZING. He searched for his jacket and found it soakng wet and freezing cold. "Greeeeaaaaaat," he muttered, leaving it off and following Vindictus' next directions... TO THE GREAT HALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And off he went.
