The weather was horrible, but that hadn't stopped the Gryffindor prefect from going outside into the snow. She set down her book bag under an abandoned tree and stared out at the snow. The snowball fight from days before had just ended, and the snow was still fresh on the ground. After a busy day of attempting to be a good prefect, and a good student (god why was Charms even invented?!) the 11 year old girl wanted to play in the snow.
Once under the tree, Eris scooped up a pile of snow into her arms. Slowly, she started to pile the shoved snow up until it resembled a side of a wall. She repeated it again, attempting to build a fort of sorts under the shade of the tree. She worked in silence, imaging herself a builder out of a book. She was going to build the best castle in the world! Then she would destroy it, but that wasn't the point. It would still be fun to build. Even more fun to stomp on though.
Standing up to admire her handiwork, Eris grinned in triumph. It don't look like much of anything, just a mass of three wall-like globs of snow. She still had a while left to go before the pile of snow in front of her looked like a castle worthy of even a peasant. But it would be okay.
Looking behind her, to find more snow, Eris found another prefect standing there. It was a friend from the snowball fight, Ezekiel right? Frowning up at him from her snowball fortress, Eris clasped her hands together, than buried them in her robes. Her hands were red and ached from the cold snow she had been holding in her hands, but the pain was worth it for the outcome of having a snow fort.
Still staring at the other prefect, Eris smiled weakly. "Want to help me? I'm building a snow castle!" Hoping he wouldn't find her immature for ditching her prefect duties, and building castles out of snow while nobody else was outside, she waited expectantly for his answer. If Ezekiel didn't want to build a snowcastle with her, that was fine.

Ezekiel walked through the grounds, there were still a few people out, even after the snowball fight. He had just hoped Reid would be okay after all that. He was still rather new to being a prefect, and honestly, it felt strange. Having fellow students listen to things he said, it was confusing him at first, but he was slowly getting the hang of it. He had roamed around, still getting used to the school when he came across Eris, another prefect.
"Oh hey Eris." He said smiling softly before she spoke. "Build a snow castle? But the snowball fight is over and done with now unless you wanted to do another one."
He shook his head, but stopped and looked at her. "You know what... Sure why not, it could be fun." He dropped down into the snow and gathered it from around the tree, bringing it over to Eris and building up the walls. "Why did you decide to make one? Thought it would be a lot of fun? Or just got bored sitting up in your dorm and wanted to get outside?" The walls of the castle had started to grow, becoming taller as he spoke from the snow. He had decided, then, that this would be the best snow castle he had ever made.

Eris smiled at the bruised up boy and fellow prefect, pleased to have a friend help her out in her conquest to build the best snow castle. "We can always start another snowball fight." Eris looked at the snow near their fort to prove her point, before dropping down on her knees in the snow. Ignoring the numbing feeling on her exposed knees, as her robes were now spread out on the snow, Eris started to help Ez shove the snow.
"I just wanted to have a castle," the little red-head stopped her shoveling to stare at Ezekiel, daring him to call her childish for building a castle on a whim, "I wanted to do something fun. We always act so mature doing prefect things, so I figured I could just have some fun. Like building a castle and becoming the queen of it."
Eris grinned happily, as the sides of the castle were already much bigger. It looked like a big box. Picking the back wall, Eris dug a hole through the snow, making it large enough for someone small to walk through, or go through on their knees. It might of been a door, but there was no top door. It was basically just a large hole in the blockade of snow. Crawling through the hole on her knees, she repeated the process of building walls. It wasn't that clear, but she was going to start building a second room. "The main room," Eris pointed at Ez, "Is the room you're in right now. We can use it as a ballroom, a war room, or a great hall .Something big. ." She pointed to the little area she was now in, "This will be a second room. Like the small hall, or a room to store snowballs."
She might of came off as bossy, was it not for the excited expression in Eris's eyes. They were going to make a castle! The excitement trumped everything, including Eris's worry about coming off as nice to her fellow prefect. Pausing the reverent efforts to build more walls, Eris turned to Ezekiel, remembering common decency "Sound good? We can do something else if you want..?"

Ezekiel nodded at the mention of a second snowball fight. This one wouldn't be a huge as the last one, but it would still be fun. "Well if you are the queen of the castle, then I shall be..." He paused, unsure of what he would actually be. "I'll be a guard! I'll protect you and your castle, my queen." He laughed, filling out the walls so they were a bit thicker to stay standing. As Eris started planning out the rooms he stood and looked down at what they have created. It was honestly huge, nearly big enough for him to lay down in. He looked to where Eris said the second room was. "Hm... We could add another room on the other side for more snowballs..." He slid out the 'door' of the castle, gathering more snow and pushing it over to be used to build.
"And yeah, we do get pretty busy doing all of the prefect stuff, it's nice to be able to take a break sometimes. Just have a little bit of fun and act like kids." Ezekiel took a bit of the snow and made a few snowballs, placing them to the side before looking around at the outside walls.

Eris grinned at Ez, "You could be the King! But not in a gross, cooties way. Just like, we can both rule over the castle!" The castle was huge enough already. They didn't need a third room. Eris finished building the rest of the little room, and grinned in triumph . Carefully edging back into the main room with Ez, Eris listened to him. Now that she thought about it, it was a good idea to build a third room for maximum snowball storage when they laid siege to anybody who dared attack the majestic castle.
Speaking of the majestic ice castle that the two had build, they needed a name for it. "What are we going to call the castle?! Castle Ezekiel and Eris sounds kind of lame." Eris said cheerfully, following Ez out the 'door' and into the unsculpted snow, that was yet to be molded into a part of their castle. Bending down to her knees, yet again, Eris started to make snowballs to put into the, not yet built, third room of the castle.
"I mean, we are kids." Eris said in response to Ez, focused on crafting a perfect snowball in her numb hands. If they were going to throw snowballs, the snowballs would have to be perfect. They were the weapons of a castle, after all .

"I can be the king! but yeah no cooties, those are gross." He smiled placing the rest of the snow he had gathered around the castle before joining Eris in the center room. He was having more fun then he had since coming to Hogwarts. He grabbed some snow from the outside, forming ever more snowballs. "Maybe Ely castle? Or Wardhurst? Ooooh or maybe Fort Rose! Since it was your idea and roses are red." He laughed a bit, placing the finished snowballs into the side room. It could hold a lot more then he had thought it would, especially if they made them a little bit smaller then usual.
Ezekiel nodded to Eris. "We are just kids with a lot of responsibilities to attend to now. He formed more snowball's quickly filling the side room as full as it could be. Eris was taking her time with them, he just hoped his were going to be good enough for her castle standards. He stretched out his arms and tucked his hands in his robes. The cold felt nice from over top the bandages that were still left on his body. His hands slowly regaining feeling as they warmed up. "This castle went pretty well Eris. I'm proud of us."

The King and Queen of an unnamed ice castle! They were going to rule over their invisible subjects of snow with kindness, or maybe they'd just trash the castle by stomping on it. Either way, they were going to be the rulers of their ice castle! Excitement ran rampart through Eris, as she grinned at Ezekiel, who was thinking of names.
Eris liked the name Fort Rose. Her hair was red like a rose, and she also had a friend named Rose.Eris and Rose met after Eris found Rose 'dead' in the hallways. Since then, the two had become close friends. The two battled together in the fierce snowball fight that the whole school had been in , and since then, Rose has taken to calling Eris "Strawberry Shortcake", to the joy of the red head. Although Rose had stopped battling in the snowball fight to make snow angels, she was worthy of naming a castle after.
"Fort Rose is it." Eris's grin grew, as she stared down at their castle with a fierce sense of pride. It looked amazing so far. Something out of a fairy tale, of sorts. It was almost too good to even think about stomping on. Well, she was probably going to stomp on it. But first they were going to have a snowball fight and rule over the castle, as a queen and king. With no cooties involved.
Eris agreed with Ezekiel. They were just kids with an awful lot of responsibility. With great power came great responsibility, and all that nonsense. They might of had a lot to do, but they also had a lot of power as prefects. And their own bathroom. That was important.
Tucking her frozen hands into her robes, Eris turned to Ezekiel. "I'm proud of us too! It looks so cool. We're the best queen and king ever!"

She actually took and like his name for the castle. He grinned stupidly, softly leaning against a wall to not break it. "We will be the best rulers of this land. First, we control the grounds, and then... The school!" He laughed to himself, grabbing a couple snowballs and looking around. There weren't many people outside now that the snowball fight is officially over and done with. There were a few stragglers, but no one challenged them in the fort.
Ezekiel looked back to Eris, throwing the snowballs back towards the pile. "No one dares to challenge Fort Rose! We are the most feared people of all of the grounds!" He grinned, this was going to be another story he needed to write home about. He would go and do that as soon as him and Eris went inside. "My Queen, where shall we set our next castle so we may have complete control over the grounds?" He asked, stifling his laughter.
Ezekiel was sat facing Eris, back towards the 'door'. I am the door guardian! Fear me, puny humans, as I take control of the world from the safety of this snow fort! He thought to himself but all that came from his mouth as a small squeak as the snow below him melted.

Eris laughed too, setting down her snowball and throwing her hands up into the air. "FEAR US HOGWARTS!" She yelled out into the cold air, causing the few students outside turn to look at the two prefects and their fearsome ice palace . They turned away after a moment, dismissing the two as first years playing outside. This didn't phase Eris in the slightest, as she kept laughing.
The pile of snowballs was large enough to launch an assault on the few students outside, who were heading inside by the second. Nobody was left to deal with the might of Fort Rose, all the cowards had fled rather than face the might of the snow castle and it's fearsome King and Queen, that were just friends. Not in a gross cootie relationship, of course.
"King Ezekiel, we shall build another fort nearby to fortify our lands. Never shall another kingdom gain access to the powerful kingdom of Fort Rose!" Eris tried to make her words sound queen-like, as she pointed a hand towards a random spot on the grounds, where a lone student was. "We shall never let another invasion occur in the land of Rose! Too long have we been waiting to rule the grounds! And now we shall! Muhahaha." Eris imitated an evil laugh, the likes of which she had seen in countless disney movies growing up.
Just as she looked back at Ezekiel, the door of their fort collapsed, leaving him flat on his back in the snow. Oh no! Their fort was melting! Quickly Eris sprung to her feet, offering a hand up to Ezekiel. She broke character, talking in her normal voice, not the one of a queen that she had been trying to imitate. "Are you alright?"

Ezekiel was cold and wet. Them sitting in the snow was starting to melt the area around them, causing the collapse. Plus it didn't help it was nearing closer to the middle of the day. He nodded, taking her hand and standing up out of the snow, brushing himself off the best he could. "I'm okay I'm sure. A bit cold and wet, but I didn't hurt myself. I think we either need to move to a new fort or find another thing to go and do." He laughed softly, jumping to the outside of the fort.
"So which do you wanna do?" He asked, smiling softly as he looked back into the slow melting fort. He looked around the grounds. The trampled snow would be hard to build on, and there was a lot of it too. Most of the grounds actually. There was a little bit of snow closer to the lake and the forest. But he didn't think either of those places would make very good forts, because neither would have much snow because of where they were. He mumbled something unimportant, taking a few steps away from Fort Rose and smiled. "What are ya thinking?"
