Do you want to build a snowman?
Dennis went to the Hogwarts grounds to cool off. Things got toasty in Herbology. The prof taught the class Incendio and they all had a little too much fun learning to cast it. So much fun in fact, that more than one of them threatened to light up the whole greenhouse by mistake. Needless to say things got real hot.
Snow was laying softly on the rolling hills of the knolls outside the castle. The red head enjoyed coming out her to clear his mind or to just take moment to appreciate nature. The Ravenclaw boy best known for his boyish antics and charmingly, yet deceptive, naive personality wandering down the path with little to not thoughts aside from trying to cold down from almost getting his eyebrows singed off.
That was, until Dennis came across an innocent looking tree that was a perfect distance to practice throwing some snowballs. The ginger bent down, still in his school uniform and wearing his winter cloak and Ravenclaw scarf, and made a snowball. Once satisfied with the density of the tightly packed sphere, he let one loose only to have it fall short of the intended mark. Curse his noodle arms. He took a few steps closer and tried again this time hitting the base of the tree. A little better.
Playing in the snow was so much better with others.

WC = 284As the winter sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a long shadow over the snow-covered pathway, Vicente stood nearby the shores of the frozen Great Lake, his breath forming a slight puff of cloud in the chilly air. Vicente's first winter in Hogwarts has been convincing him to venture out and stroll around the school grounds to appreciate the breathtaking scenery. He has experienced his first snow in the UK, but in comparison to London, the nature here is more of a winter wonderland to him than just a slight snow flurry.
With a growing sense of excitement, he walked forward onto the snowy banks, his footsteps leaving delicate imprints in the freshly fallen snow as he marched down the sloping lawns towards the frozen Great Lake. Vicente sighed in awe when he saw the beauty of the lake before him, its vast of expanse appeared a glittering sheet of ice that stretched out towards the horizon. He stayed there for a bit before taking a slow walk to the Gargoyle Gate, where his eyes caught sight of a figure on his way back to the castle. Peering through the heavy snowfall, he spotted a redhead throwing snowballs at a leafless tree.
Vicente's playful spirit emerged upon seeing what the boy was doing, so he instinctively gathered a handful of snow and packed it tightly into a sphere. With a quick flick of his wrist, he launched the snowball through the air, watching the snowball as it seemed to flew towards the unsuspecting figure. He intended to aim for the redhead's head, but he also sure do held out a hope that he didn't ruin the boy's winter spirit, for Merlin's sake.

Dennis continued to throw snowballs at the tree, wishing he had someone else to play with but it was only a matter of time before someone joined, he could feel it. There was never a dull moment at Hogwarts for those looking for mischief. No matter what Dennis wanted to do or tried to do, students who wanted to join him were never in short supply.
Thwack. Dennis yelped he was hit in the back of the head. What was that? He was under attack! The Ravenclaw dived into the snow bank for cover and peaked around to see where the projectile came from. Then he saw a boy. A Hufflepuff? This is the second time a Hufflepuff had chosen battle with the Ravenclaw. He thought Hufflepuffs were faint of heart. Obviously not this one either!
Dennis worked on forming a snowball, being sure to hide it behind the hill he was using. He yelled over, “Nice shot! I bet you can’t get that lucky again!” He gave the boy a grin to signal that he wasn’t mad and then let a snowball fly of his own. The other boy was definitely too far away for him to aim clearly.

“And so, the snow day begins”
@Dennis TumbertonWC = 275Part of him couldn't believe his success in accurately aiming from afar. Might as well signed up as Hufflepuff's chaser for Quidditch. "What a throw, Vince," Vicente said to himself, without realising that he used his latest nickname given by his new friends. However, as the snowball exploded into a burst of white powder against the back of the head, his triumph of victory quickly turned into a concern. At that moment, he felt a little guilty for what just happened, prompting him to approach the spot cautiously.
"Nice shot," the boy yelled with a grin, slightly popping up to take aim before ducking down, "I bet you can't get lucky again!" The next thing he knew, a snowball erupted from the snowbank next to the tree, now heading in Vicente's direction. He tried to take a quick cover as it landed on his arm, splatting his winter cloak. He was relieved to know that the redhead was actually enjoying this small snowball fight.
"You just got me there," Vicente shouted as he formed another spheric of snow without a cover, "And I won't let this slide, redhead." The Hufflepuff boy was confident in his throwing skill after he made the first throw, so he took a big breath and repeated the same method again, trajectory aimed towards the redhead's hiding spot. Vicente watched as his second snowball flew while he formed his own cover in preparation for another attack from the boy. The second throw was far better than the previous, but this time, the redhead had taken shelter behind the snowbank, so it was difficult for him to know if he'll succeed again.

Bullseye! Dennis’ snowball hit the mark. Just the action that the Ravenclaw needed on such a slow day. He was already on a second and then a third snowball when the Hufflepuff gave his comeback. Something about not letting it slide. An ice pun. Dennis liked this kid already. Luckily, he was too busy forming snowballs and already ducked behind the snowbank when his opponent let loose another ball. It sailed cleaning over the embankment, missing the hunched over Ravenclaw. “Oy! You need those eyes checked! You call that a throw?” Dennis called as he poked his head over the bank to see where his adversary was. He was hastily trying to make cover for himself but there was still time for a clean shot.
Dennis grabbed one of the snowballs he was working on, took aim, focus, and then let it rip. The snowball whizzed quickly through the brisk wintery air. This one was sure to hit the Hufflepuff’s head, getting him back for the first shot. While Dennis watched to see if he hit his mark, his hands were busy forming new snowballs. He was saving up for a barrage to overwhelm his opponent and get in close. He wouldn’t fall to a badger.
