Minerva walked outside in the snow. She was the first from her group to get there. So she decided to start packing some snow to get the first ball started.

Alice smiled! This seemed like a brilliant idea, now all she needed was an idea for what to build!

Nate came over, and had the perfect idea in mind. He knelt down and packed up a good size snowball, and then set in on a flat patch of snow. He had the perfect explaination for when he was asked what it was.

Pam walked down to find Nate getting in on the snowman building contest. She sighed and walked over to him. "Nate, really?" She looked down. "I actually have something important to ask you."

"Yes, really," Nate said sarcastically. "Something important to ask? Not involving what this actually is?" he asked, more seriously.

"No! Not involving that. Something more important." Pam looked down. "To me at least." She sighed.

Oooh SNOWMAN BUILDING! Cheya Tori was on this. And not just cuz she secretly wanted to throw snowballs at Professor Scabior. She wanted to WIN. The redhead had brought along her own bag of snowman decorations and even snowlady decorations, if she had time to make a companion for her snowman.

She started rolling a big ball for the base. Roll roll rollllllllllll.

"So you don't care what this is?" he asked, looking at her with begging eyes and pointing at his perfect snowball on its pedestal of snow.

Pam groaned and slumped down in the snow. "Fine. I'll humor you." She put her head in her hands. "What on ever could it be?" She said in a very sarcastic tone. Knowing Nate wouldn't notice because he is way too absorbed in his snowball.

"Oi, sarcasm!" Nate snapped, a little bit of a British accent coming out of his natural American one. "It's a snowman egg," he said, matter-of-factly.

"Hey Minnie, it's great to see you here. The first one too. Thanks for joining in and helping with the snowbuilding."Alyssa said to Minerva. She was really glad that Minerva was looking better and helping out.

"Here let me help you with the packing of the snow," Alyssa sat down on the ground and started pushing the snow together.

Pam burst out laughing. "Seriously? An egg? What, have you named it 'Eggy' or something?" She stood up and walked over to were Nate was standing. She took a handful of snow and sprinkled it on his head.

Having heard of this snow competition, Kennedy decided that, that would be a great excuse to take a break from his homework. He made his way down to the grounds with a few items inside his bag. He's never actually built a snow man before. In San Diego it didn't snow, so he hasn't had an opportunity to make one. Kennedy set the bag down and gathered some snow in his hands to make a small snow ball. Packing it well so that it wouldn't easily fall apart he began rolling it until the snow ball grew and grew and grew.

"I'll name it when it hatches!" said Nate, ignoring the snow being sprinkled on his head. "Hang on..." he said, stepping over towards his egg. "Flagrate," he whispered, and a small, fine flame shot out of his wand. In the snow, he wrote:

"There, now should we go down by the lake?" he asked.

Harvey had heard in passing about a snowman building competition so he came over to have a look and froze in his tracks, right there in front of him building a snowman was Minnie!

He decided to be strong and he walked over to her "Hey Minnie, so you are taking part in the competition I see." He asked looking around at all the snow.

Pam laughed even harder when Nate wrote the sign. She nodded, while trying to calm herself.

Harvey smiled as he saw Pam and Nate walk towards the lake together. It looked like she hadnt said anything as yet, and he then looked at the egg shaped snowball that Nate had left. He then looked back at Minnie and as usual smiled broadly

Sky walked over to the snowman building contest feeling excited. She wanted to WIN! She'd brought a bag of supplies to help her make the best snowman ever! But first things first. She copied the wand movements and words that her mom had always performed around her snowmen when Sky was younger. These charms would protect the snowman from damage and melting. Then Sky started building the base. She started by gathering a pretty impressive pile of snow. Then came shaping the pile into a ball. Sky didn't use magic for any of this. She felt that it was cheating to use magic. She rolled the ball she had shaped around for awhile until it was large enough to support the other sections. Then, she started on the middle.

Scabior gazed around giving a slight nod to all the kids who had already started building the snowmen. Cool. Cool. He wondered if anyone was actually going to build them in groups. Huh. "Nice job guys." He said to no one in particular. Just a couple of kids here and there. He always hated making the bottom ball of a snowman.

This could be very interesting. Isobel walked down to the Grounds with all the apropraite wear for the weather. She was prepared to be cold. She looked around and found a spot where she could start her snowman in peace. She gathered up some snow and started rolling it along the ground, so it could get bigger.

Once Tori had the giant base of her snowman built, she dusted off her hands and took a breath. Time for part two now. And once she had that built, how was she going to get it on top of the huge base? The base was like, up to her knees!

Oh yeah, magic. Right. Tori grinned and started rolling a second bigggggggg BIGGGG ball.

"Hi Professor Scabiorrrrrrrr," she called out with a wicked grin, wiggling her fingers at the History of Magic professor as he walked by. Now once he passed, she could toss a little ball... heheheee....

Ohh. Snow. Isabelle loved the snow. It was the most perfect time of year, when snow was here. Oh wow. She just rhymed in her head. That was amazing.

Sooo. They had to build a snowman. And then win the snowman building contest. Okidoki. Isabelle started rolling and rolling and rolling snow to make a big base. A really big base. As tall as she was. That was Isabelle's goal at least. Maybe smaller. She might have to use magic to accomplish this task though.

o"Umm yeah I'm feeling better." Minerva said to Alyssa as she continued to pack the snow. "So Alyssa how big do we want our snowman?"

Minerva looked up from packing when she heard Harvey's voice. She hadn't seen him since the potion episode. "Oh Hi Harvey, yes I'm working with some puffs in the competition. Are you here with some claws? Well good luck." Minerva turned back to her group to continue packing the snow.

A SNOWMAN building competition?!

*shifty*

Hmm, looking around, Marilyn was pleased to see that not many people had arrived just yet. What the blonde needed to do was to assemble a group...and then they could brainstorm ideas...and ROCK this show!

Hmm...Now, who to recruit...
