Maybe Winter Isn't All That Bad!
december 17th, 2022
noon, saturday
hogwarts castle; the grounds
wc: 450
currently wearing; winter coat, jeans, gloves, and a scarf
interacting with; @Oliver Brown @Katherine Ortiz @Pandora Smith
mentioning; @Edward EdwardsWinter was not Ciel's favorite season. If anything, it was her least favorite. It was cold and miserable and when it snowed, she couldn't go out and ride her horse. Not to mention the ice and how freezing her house could get in the nighttime. Winter just sucked.
But this winter was not spent at her house. Well, not yet at least. She had some time before she went home and hung out with her family and the Captain. While the castle of Hogwarts was still relatively cold, the house elves made sure that her bed was nice and warm before she crawled into it at night, and there was always a fire burning in the Hufflepuff common room. It was nice.
Today was Saturday, arguably the best day of the week. No school and the professors had been sort of lenient on homework, seeing as winter break was just around the corner. That meant that today, Ciel could go take a walk outside. Normally, she'd prefer to stay curled up in her bed, but today was different. It had snowed and the grounds looked gorgeous! Now was the time to take a walk and peruse through the beautiful snowy grounds.
As she took her long walk through the snow, something happened to catch her eye amidst the barren trees. Was that... another student? There was a certain boy seemingly spending his time outside as well. Normally this wouldn't bother Ciel, but she happened to recognize the boy. He was rather tall and was part of Ravenclaw. Er, wasn't his name Oliver, or something?
His name didn't matter- what did matter was that he completely drenched a library book Ciel was reading! She hadn't really forgiven him for it yet, maybe now was the time to enact a little revenge? After all, he did kind of deserve it.
Ciel leaned down and made two snowballs in her hands, aiming them both at him. She had pretty good aim, give or take. Her first snowball landed square on his back, booyah! But her second one seemed to have missed him by a few feet. And... Hit another girl? Uh oh!
"Woah! Sorry!" Ciel called to the girl. By the looks of it, she was a Slytherin student. Hm, Ciel didn't seem to recognize her, but that didn't matter, she still felt really bad! It probably- no, definitely didn't feel good to be smacked with a snowball that wasn't intended for you.
Maybe Ciel shouldn't've gotten greedy and just thrown one snowball!ReducioI just went ahead and picked Katherine to be the victim of Ciel's horrible aim, I hope that's okay with everyone!
Also, I'm not too picky on whatever posting order we want to do, since there is 4 of us lol
do not attempt this at home, ciel is a professional cowboy!

Outfit
Pandora rushed out of the common room. It was Saturday and it was snowing. She could go to her family, but he was wondering how the winter was here.
She jumped on the snow and flopped forward. The weather outside was beautiful. She loved this magical atmosphere. She went camping with her family in the summer, jumped on the yellowed leaves in the fall, went out in search of the flower fairies in the spring, and played with the snow in the winter.
While it is snowing, she holds her tongue in the air and the snowflake lands on her tongue. A chill comes over her body. I love this stock he said to herself
Meanwhile, she sees a girl who is a little far away throwing two people. To avenge this on behalf of those people, she bent down and made a snowball with her hand. She aimed the snowball at the girl and threw it. She hit her right on the back of her neck. Couldn't help but chuckle.
"This was their revenge"
As Pandora approached the girl, she saw that the one she had hit was Oliver. She had her first bodyguard as a warrior and avenged her friend.

A snowy and crisp day anew, not something nonplus though, Kathy mused, as her hands sneaked deep inside her pockets in search of warmth. In the end it snowed today, and unusually enough, she was roaming around as if the cold didn't matter her this time. Now that she has already understood the pleasure of winter, she wanted to enjoy it to her heart's content. And what if, right when she is savouring the weather, an unexpected thing happens -
"Whoops!" A snowball clobbered at her face and she lost her balance, stumbling back. Why me, really? She thought and strained her frozen hands stuck in the snow to remove the rest of the snow out of her face. She heard a voice for a distance saying sorry, discerning that it was a girl's voice.
Kathy glanced up, just in case another snowball would come, but it didn't. Seemed like it was truly a mistake. But her heart was still pounding from the sudden attack, her face utterly red because of the cold snow. She lentoly got on one's feet, with her left hand at the back and made her way towards the girl but still kept a reasonable distance from her.
"Ah, humans make mistakes. But there is obviously a way to get one's own deserts." Kathy said, a mischievous smile forming on her face. She straighten out her left hand, to reveal a comparatively bigger snowball and pow-! It directly flopped at the girl's stomach. Kathy giggled, "I am afraid it will turn into a snow fight!". But merely then another snowball hit that girl at the neck. Oops, guess it became a double attack, she thought and pondered who might have thrown the last snow ball.

Time : N/AClothing : Light Blue Winter Jacket and Black JeansLocation : GroundsWord Count : 227 WordsOliver was reading, by the forest. He enjoyed nature. He loved winter and its cold but, he did not like it when someone hit him square in the back! Who had hit him? He turned around and saw a girl, not just any girl, the girl he had accidentally spilled paint on when he was sin the library.
He was first in shock, then after that subsided, he felt something in the pit of his stomach. He grit his teeth. This was no accident, when he saw the other girl fall over after getting hit by a snowball, he got up and went straight for her, ignoring the temptation of grabbing a hand full of snow and throwing it at Ceil’s face. The nerve of her.
He reached out a hand to help out the girl who he had seen fall. He glared at Ceil before turning to the girl. ”Are you alright? I see you are a victim of Ceil’s horribly planned attack. She should know, I aim very well cause of my archery and basketball practice back home. I’m Oliver.” he said. He saw another girl hit Ceil with a snowball, it was Pandora the girl he had met in the Ice cream shop. He put the girls arm around his shoulder and he pulled the girl up to her feet. The nerve of Ceil, to plan an attack on me.

Pandora rushed to the side of the fallen girl. God, I hope nothing happened to him, he said to herself. When She arrived, he saw that Oliver was with her.
"Hey are you okay. I hope you're okay. By the way, I've never seen her name is Ciel."
When she realized that the girl was okay, she picked up some snow from the ground and made a ball and threw it at the girl she had just learned was called Ciel. Okay, she missed because she didn't shoot properly. Didn't assign properly.
"Let's make her pay for it. it will be fun too. SNOWBALL FIGHT"
Yes she knew it wasn't a good motivational speech but that was all she could do. While trying to get away a little, she tripped on her own feet and fell into the snow. She burst into laughter when he fell to the ground.This was so funny to her.
"I'm fine. I tripped on my own feet and fell. Very strange"
She straightened up and prepared to snowball. I think she found a nice Saturday activity. with new friends. She made some snowballs, took it in her arms and got up. Let it begin then.

Kathy perceived her right leg go numb, that's what happens to her quite often in winter, and it's back. Hopefully a boy, who introduced himself as Oliver was generous enough to give Kathy a helping hand. Wait, isn't he the selfsame boy who helped Daphne solve the hitch with her cat on escape?, she remembered. Giving a twinkle of smile she said, "Oh, it's you Oliver! Never thought that I will see you here. I am totally fine, anyway! Just that my right leg got numb. I guess it will take some time to recover." Till then, another girl, who deemed like a Ravenclaw because of her blue robes came up to them and Kathy assured that she was all good afresh. But the state of affairs already got heated up and the girl marked the plan of starting a snow-fight. Poor Ciel, it's like 3 against 1 match. But before Kathy could reply, the Ravenclaw girl tripped on her own. "Oh my, are you okay?" Kathy asked, appalled at the unanticipated fall. Hopefully the girl found it funny and wasn't hurt in any way. Abruptly Kathy realised that she was still clasping Oliver for support. Quite embarassed she said, "Oliver, I think I am fine now. Thanks for helping me all the while." She removed her arm from his shoulder and cleared her throat instantly, "Okay guys, I think it's just a misunderstanding! Let's talk to Ciel first, then we can have a friendly snow-fight instead of a revengeful one!"
Kathy optimistically looked towards them, maybe they will agree or maybe not. But she still wanted to hear Oliver's opinion on it first because he seemed to know who Ciel was.

Time : N/AClothing : Light Blue Winter Jacket and Black JeansLocation : GroundsWord Count : 287 Words”Yep its me! Better be careful, you could really hurt yourself if you do anything that would stress your leg.” he said as she recognized him. She said she was alright now, he wasn’t sure about that since it looked like it still hurt but he respected people’s decision’s so he let go. Then Pandora wanted to start a snowball fight. He didn’t want to cause trouble, but there was a part of him ready to grab snow and chuck it at Ceil’s face! But he never ( yet ) let that side gain control over himself!
”Lets not- One, I don’t want to get wet, two, I don’t wanna make enemies, three, I agree with Katherine, we should just talk to her than make any rash decisions.” he said to Pandora. But at that moment Pandora had tripped into the wet cold snow! She seemed fine though so he stood his ground and stared at Ciel watching them from a distance. Oh how much she was probably enjoying this.
He took the lead walking towards Ciel, a wet book in his also wet hand. He was so mad his hands were shaking! This book was special to him. A gift from his mom before she was brought to Saint Mungo’s. He forced himself to calm down. Unfortunately his thoughts didn’t. His brain imagined him grabbing so many snowballs and pelting it towards Ceil, the most violent thought being him throwing his book towards Ceil. He stayed calm though. Katherine would most probably help him with the situation. Pandora, maybe a bit less but it was all that he had.

Ciel hadn't expected retaliation from the Slytherin girl, she really didn't mean to hit her! The situation was kind of funny, though. If Ciel wasn't already in a good mood, she might've been a little upset, but with how much fun she was kind of having she really couldn't have gotten mad.
When another snowball hit her square in the stomach, Ciel quickly brushed it off, but she giggled as she did so. Luckily her outfit wasn't too important to her; she'd hate to have to have it dry after she went back inside.
After dusting off her jeans and coat, she walked up to the two girls and Oliver, a light smile on her face. "Sheesh, do ya gotta keep hitting me?" Ciel giggled. "I mean I guess I kind of deserve it for accidently hitting you... um... sorry, what's your name?" Oof, talk about awkward. She didn't even know how to properly apologize without getting the Slytherins' name!
Ciel raised a hand to cover her now pink cheeks. That was kind of embarrassing, especially considering how the other two seemed to know who she was. Well, at least if one of them pointed it out, Ciel could just blame it on the cold atmosphere.
"Also, hi!" Ciel gave a wave to the other girl and Oliver, flashing a toothy grin. She could put on a nice smile, no need to start some mega-big fight between herself and the Ravenclaw boy. After all, it was nearing Christmas, so maybe they should all have some cheer!

Pandora childishly turned away. Because she wanted to start a snowball fight. Pandora didn't know what happened between Oliver and Ciel, but it was clear that something important was happening.
"Can you tell us what you went through between you two? No, let's act accordingly. Neither of you are saying it like it's a state secret. Tell us so we can know"
And it made her angry that no one told her. Seeing Ciel's face turn red, she thought it was air, but looking into her eyes, she saw something different.
Let's meet before we continue your fight. Then you will. And in the meantime, tell me about the situation. Hit two birds with one stone.
Yes, she actually said that. 'Maybe they don't want to say Pandora have you thought about that' But despite her inner voice, she began to speak from the front.
"I'm the head. My name is Pandora Smith. You can say Dora if you want. I think I like it called that. It's just someone said it, but it sounds good. Anyway. Who else would like to introduce themselves?"
She spoke very energetically and quickly, and I think she talked too much. Waited for others to introduce.

Kathy bobed in harmony as Oliver said his statement. He took the lead first and went towards Ciel, Kathy and Pandora following shortly behind. The fact that Ciel apologized was quite surprising, but Kathy felt to apologise herself too because Ciel became a target in a duplex attack, unknowingly enough. "Oh, I am Katherine Ortiz. Well, I guess I should apologise too because you-" she pointed towards her neck, "didn't you get hit on your neck too? I mean it's quite a sensetive place."
Kathy's eyes fell on Oliver's wet book, his hands were slightly shaking. Mixture of sorrow and madness, she thought. "Oliver, I think placing these paper towels in between the book pages will help you dry it quick! You shouldn't keep it wet for long, you know." Kathy handed him the paper towels, pondering about the book, how much did the book meant to him, after all? Well, Kathy was still in a confused demeanor with the occurrences. "Um, so in nutshell, Ciel intended to hit Oliver with the snowball but also ended up hitting me. From behind, the Ravenclaw girl- aha, one second, may I know your name?" she said, glancing towards the Ravenclaw girl, "Feels quite weird to call you like that." Instantly, the girl introduced herself as Pandora Smith, also allowed others to call her Dora as pleased. "Well, continuing further, Dora hit you on the neck with the snowball and next moment I hit you on your stomach, resulting in a double attack. And now, here we are."
Quite an interesting plot so far, "But what I meant was, Oliver's book got defaced in that procedure."
"So," she whispered something to Ciel and gave a friendly wink to her, while secretly slipping something into her pocket.
Soon after that, Dora got curious about what happened between Ciel and Oliver, same with Kathy. She was quite excited to know the reason which started the snow-fight, after all.
