Okay. Now the snowman making party could start really start since she was here. Hot coco in hand she walked around looking for someone to join, seriously anyone would be lucky to have her and her artistic abilities. She just needed to find someone who needed her help. A smile appeared when she seen Professor Culloden. Walking up to him "Are you going to build a snowman?"

Okay, okay so he did say for them to save themselves and everything BUT WHAT THE HECK YOONGI??? That was supposed to mean EVERYTHING BUT 'save yourselves'. Merlin. Did they learn ANYTHING at that Charms school of his???

Thank Merlin Professor Myers knew what he was doing.

"Thanks, sir," he grinned as he brushed snow off of his pants. Now that he wasn't being ATTACKED, Zander was full-out ready to start war. Plus, he hadn't even done anything yet. So technically, SOPHIE BROWN STARTED IT. Ahem. Not that it mattered 'cause Zander Adair was about to end it. Hehehe.

Bending down, the Gyrffindor did as was instructed and began rolling up snowballs. Sounded like Myers had done this sort of thing before. Maybe Zander had underestimated him, the Professor was capable of being evil. Hm.

Anyways, snowballs. He was making those. And LOTS of those. "How many more do you think we need?" 'Cause Zander was working as fast as he ever had in his entire life. And now that Yoongi was on board, they were gonna get tons in no time at all!

Janelle chuckled to herself as the girls discussed their snowwoman plans. It was going to be funny, but it was going to be really awesome. The wheels started spinning in Janelle's head, as she begain to visualize what their superhero snowgirl would look like. They could do this. "Yeah, I'm cool with it. We can make this happen", Janelle said. And then......snowballs started to be thrown.



Before she knew it, a snowball hit Janelle on the side of her face. Looking in the direction that the snowball came from, she saw her housemate Sabbath. No he didn't. Well of course it was on now and without a word, Janelle picked up a handful of snow. With an evil smile, she began to form it into a perfectly round ball. When the time seemed right, she launched the snowball toward Sabbath. It was so on.



Ava was really into this snowball fight. She was a little scary. Janelle was really glad that Ava was on her team. When the Gryffindor suggested building a snow fort, Janelle was on it. "Aye aye captain. Good idea." If they were going to engage in this snowball war, they would need some protection. As quickly as she could, Janelle began to pile and pat snow to make their fort. All the while, she was prepared to dodge any snowballs that came their way. Revenge would be sweet.

Oliver was definitely expecting more snowballs to be thrown his way, so he was ready for them. He ducked, managing to dodge the ones thrown by that other Gryffindor first year, Noelle. And there went Sabbath, throwing one at the older Ravenclaw girl whose name he did not know. Oh well, he didn't need to know the names of his opponents in order to beat them.

"Yeah that's a good idea!" Great thinking on that whole barricade idea, Sabbath. Oliver started piling some of the snow, packing it together to make a barricade in front of him. The girls looked like they had the same idea, building a fort of sorts. The only problem was that he was unable to build the wall uninterrupted. Trying to build in the middle of a snowball fight was not the easiest task. He paused, making a snowball and sending it in the direction of the girls.

Now this was fun!

Noelle beamed when she saw everyone getting into it. She laughed when snowballs hit all the peoples. Noelle reached down and grabbed more snow and made more snowballs. Then Ava had a great idea.

"Okay does anyone know a spell.... Janelle???" She asked. Janelle was the older student so it could be handy having her around. In the meantime, she chucked more snowballs at the boys. It was three against one boys.... No way you two were going to win.

Noelle used her wand to send multiple snowballs in the direction of the boys. If only she knew a spell to make a fort fast.

Oblivious to the war plans as everyone was speaking inside the igloo, Cosgrach greeted Cinna with a nod and shrugged. "Yeah. Will you help me?"

No small talk, directly down to the business. Neeeeeat. And a girl's touch would be quite artistic.

Well, Tiara had been about to see if Cosgrach wanted to team up with her and build something awesome. But then a certain Gryffindor snagged him first. But.. why should that mean she couldn't join in their party? She wanted nothing to do with the chaos that was brewing on the other side of the igloo, thank you very much. This side was safer.

"Miss Bayless, you and I both had the same idea, it appears. Do you mind if I also join the team?" Because really, building something yourself was just not as fun.

So now, they're not gonna build the snowman. But they're gonna have the most epic snowball fight in this history! Three girls versus two boys. Of course they would gonna win this. It seemed like Noelle and Janelle agreed on his idea to build the fort. The young lioness then grabbed a huge pile of snow, patted it so it formed a very solid wall to be the fort. "Oh yeah, is there any spell that we could use, Janelle?" She asked her because 1. She's the oldest among them and 2. She's a Ravenclaw. Duh...

"I'm gonna attack them with the snowball while you two build the fort. What do you think?" Because if three of them kept building without send the boys the attack, they're gonna lose.

Zander was taking the piling up of snow around him fairly well, all things considering, except she'd just realized how terribly ill-prepared he was for an emergency situation because he probably COULD have pulled his legs out as soon as it happened and gotten away, but instead he stood there and acted like the WORLD WAS ENDING.

Of course, they could've just been theatrics for the sake of making her laugh, and if that was the case... well, he'd gotten his wish because there she was, laughing brightly and beautifully.

It wasn't until Myers freed Zander that the laughter died down, and Soph's smile turned into an amused, devious smirk. That was fine. If it was three against one, Soph was going to have to handle this her own way, then.

Directing her wand at the snow near them, Soph cast "Excito animans!" again and started building up a wall right in front of them, a barrier of snow between herself and the boys, thick enough that they wouldn't be able to TOO easily knock it over, and started to pile up the snow on the sides near them, too, fully intending to trap them in on all sides in a snow barrier of sorts. Of course she knew they could knock it down, but at least it was buying her some time and PROVING that she wasn't going to go down without a fight, all right?

In the meantime, she was backing away, and her ears perked up when she heard Culloden's voice nearby, then Cinna and Tanner's, too. Her favorite professor, one of her house leaders, and the coolest girl in school? Uh, yeah, they'd TOTALLY protect her. Still backing away from the boys as she tried to build up the snow barricade around them, Soph stopped her efforts to instead hide directly behind Culloden, keeping the man between herself and Zander, Yoongi, and Myers.

Super casual. Just chillin' behind the Potions Master. No big deal.

Something big was about to happen wasn't it? Wasn't it? Maybe or maybe not. Either way it didn't matter because this snowman building with Culloden was happening. Yes it was. With a grin on her face, "Of course I will." She wouldn't have asked if he was going to make one if she wasn't wanting to join him.

They should get to work. Snowman building was pretty time consuming, Right? She sit her hot (or not so hot anymore) coco down and grabbed a shovel. Who said this was going to be a easy simple snowman?

"So. How's things going?" They could work and talk right? She hadn't talked to him much lately outside of class, so it was nice to get a chance to do that.

The seventh year pushed some snow around as Professor Tanner showed up and wanted to join them too. She made a tiny Epp noise. "Professor Tanner it would be an honor! The more the merrier." She said with a smile. Culloden wouldn't mind if Tanner joined, right? Why would he? This was so exciting she was going to get to work with Two professors. How could this get any better? "Well, professor great minds do think a like." They both did have great minds. Or yes the three of them did. Yes! This would be awesome.

Mmmmm what was going on over there? She kept an eye on that Sophie Brown. Oh yes. She did. Something was going on here. Suspicious looks were being given. More out of curiously then anything else.

Cosgrach shrugged and grinned at Cinna. "All going fine." Except Bart things, but even that seemed to be alright now. He was going to ask what about her, but Tiara joined them, so he greeted the woman instead. "Hello, Tiara. The more, the merrier indeed -"

Well, even if she didn't want any of the chaos at the other end of the igloo, she had to. Because the middle name of Chaos, Sophie Brown, had just come over and... hidden behind one innocent Cosgrach Culloden!

He looked at where Zander, Yoongi and Myers used to be. They were blocked by a wall now, though, and Cosgrach couldn't help but SIGH to hide the BIG grin that was threatening to appear on his face. This girl. He didn't know how she did it - being this energetic and fun.

"Came to help with our snowman, Ms. Brown?" The answer was no, but it didn't hurt asking. At least she would have a chance to end this animosity for all...

Hehe.

Oliver was furiously shoving snow in front of him, trying to pile it up as high as he could. He did it as fast as he could, trying to get a lot of snow piled up before the girls launched their next attack. The pile didn't stretch very far to either side. If Sabbath wanted protection in front of him, he would have to work on his own.

While he was working, Oliver also took some time to pause and make snowballs. He threw three over toward the girls, one aimed toward each of them. He knew he wouldn't be able to get his wall built before they launched a counter-attack, but he could at least try. But he also took some time to pack snowballs and keep them next to him. So he didn't have to make a new one every time he wanted to throw one.

Like Oliver, Sabbath was frantically scraping snow into the barricade making it longer and piling it upwards. Similarly, he was also starting to stockpile a collection of snowballs as he went, he was getting a neat little pile together.

Sabbath saw Oliver send out another round of snowballs. The three snowballs were sent out in rapid-fire towards each of the girls, "Haha, take that" Sabbath called out to Nells and the girls, as he waited to hear if any of the snowballs had connected with their intended targets.

He could see the girls also trying to build their own barricade. He lined up three snowballs from his own pile, grinned and waited. As soon as the girls popped up for the counterattack, he'd be ready. He glanced over at Oliver and scraped more snow to help him raise their barricade, it still wasn't high enough, they were obviously going to have to take a few hits before the building was finished.

Judging by the strange noise that just emanated from the mouth of one Cinnamon Bayless, the girl was truly happy for the addition. "Wonderful!" she said with a smile, further gratified by Cosgrach's reaction. "And what are we building, team Bay-gra-ner?" She stopped, thought about her combination, and burst out laughing. "Truly awful, that was. How about just team?" Yes, much better.

She began gathering the cold, white precipitation around her. But before she could do much more than that, the Head Girl was joining them. "Well hello, Miss Brown!" who looked suspiciously suspicious. "I certainly won't attempt to amend her name into the team name as well, don't worry!" she joked to Culloden and Cinna.

The problem with building a barricade was that they needed a lot of snow to make it tall enough. But, even though the snow was magic, there simply was not enough right in their area. Oliver looked around, trying to come up with a better solution. Finally, he saw a bucket and a shovel and ran toward it.

"You keep piling, I'm going to get some more snow in here to help." He couldn't stay in one place too long, or he would be an easy target for the girls. So he leaned down, scooping up a line of snow before hurrying back to Sabbath and dumping it on top of the barricade so far. Still not done, obviously, but every bit of snow helped.

Except snow would not just keep piling, he had to pack it town and shape it how he wanted it. They were getting there. Oliver paused again and threw a few of his snowballs toward the girls, not stopping long enough to see if they hit their mark. But he had a feeling he'd know.

Helping with their snowman? Hardly. Or--... well, yes, maybe that was just the solution to this. The boys wouldn't attack Soph if there were innocent bystanders that could be hit, would they?

Heheheheehh.

"Hi, guys." An informal greeting to two professors, perhaps, but Soph felt comfortable enough with both of them to be on a more casual level with them. Cinna got an extra wide smile in response to those suspicious looks, and after a moment, Soph offered the trio an angelic, nonchalant shrug. "Of course, sir. I'd love to help. What's our vision? Biggest snowman around?" As she spoke, she kept peeking around Culloden over at the barricade she'd built, but otherwise, she stayed firmly hidden behind the Potions Master, no intention of letting ANYTHING get to her without it hitting the man first. Ahem.

Wasn't that what professors were for? To protect and defend in the midst of battle? Hehehe.

Cinna listened to Culloden as he answered her question. Giving him another small smile, and a slight nod. "Good. That's good." It made her feel so much better to hear things were good from him. It was reassuring. Yeah. Then Tanner got appeared. And Cinna did get a little overly excited but she couldn't help it as her seventh year would soon be ending she wanted to spend time with everyone who impacted her time here.

So... She looked at the two professors. "Well I was thinking maybe like a snowcastle?" Like build like a sandcastle but use snow instead of sand.

Snowmen were so mainstream.

BAY-GAR-NER? Say what? How did Tanner even pronounce that? The seventh year laughed though. The professor got an A for effort.

"Hello, Sophie." She spoke to her after the rather large grin. Cinna laughed, the addition of Sophie's name to their team name. That would be nearly impossible to pronounce. She glanced around, trying to put two and two together. Clearly Zander's little group had something to do with the something that was about to go on.

Snowballs were still being launched at them. She giggled and just continued to throw snowballs at the boys. "i don't know why you are fighting! You WILL loose!" Because obviously... Girls rule and boys drool.

Noelle looked back at Janelle and Ava. Ava was launching snowballs at the boys. They were already ahead. Oliver was the only one doing real throwing while Sabbie built the baracade.

"Ava I'm going to help build the baracade so we can get it up faster than the boys. Hold down the fort!'" Noelle got down on all fours and pushed all the snow she could to the fort. She started packing the snow up so they could be blocked.

Apparently, the snowman building activity had become a full on battle. Snowballs were flying, with more than a few headed in Janelle's direction. Trying to build a fort was a challenge when you were dodging snowballs in the process. Janelle heard her partners ask for a spell to speed up their fort building. Ohhhh. She was now the older girl and the others expected things of her. This was not something Janelle was used to. She was always the youngest and no one ever had to depend on her. Wracking her brain, she tried to think of a spell that would help them. Glacius? No, they needed snow not ice. Then it hit her. She had an idea and hoped that it would work.

"Guys, I'm going to try something. Get out of the way for a second." You know, just in case her spell went wrong. Janelle directed her wand toward their mini fort, made the proper wand movement and said, "Engorgio". Hoping with all her might that this would work, Janelle watched as the fort began to grow in size. When she thought it was big enough, she said, "Finite". Whew. With an enormous amount of relief, Janelle shouted out directions. "OK girls, get behind the wall. Let's go get 'em."

Now properly covered, Janelle began to make a stash of snowballs. She raised herself up and peeked over the wall of their fort. Target in sight, she launched the first snowball at Sabbath. Without waiting for the result, she grabbed another snowball. This one was headed for Sabbath's partner (Oliver), the Slytherin boy that she did not know. Turning to Noelle and Ava, she said, "I'll keep making snowballs", "You keep firing. We're going to win this battle!

WHY was Zander looking at him like that?! Was his idea of using the disillusionment charm on the snowballs too mean?! WAS HE DEFENDING HIS GIRLFRIEND NOW?! WHAAAAT?

Completely confused now, Yoongi watched as Professor Myers helped the Head Boy out of the snow and then watched them both making the snowballs….with there hands… “Amateurs…” he mumbled and waved his wand, non-verbally rolling up some snow to make the snowballs after the third time trying. “I think we need more if we want to defe-----“ He sneezed loudly at the same time someone yelled an incantation and a second later there was a wall of snow standing right in front of them. “DID I DO THAT?!” he panicked as he poked at the snowy wall. And then a snowy wall was rising on the other sides as well, trapping them. He threw a snowball at it but it was too thick to knock over the wall and he looked at Zander and the Professor with a pout. “You guys push these over okay? I ‘m the sick one here” …….cause he didn’t feel like pushing the snow over when he was already sneezing and coughing.
