! Snowball Fight ! Event

Ava did a small victory dance and smiled when her snowball hit the Ravenclaw. She smiled and suddenly, something hit her in the arm. She looked around.

'YOU WILL REGRET THIS, POOR MORTAL' she thought and chuckled. Why? The girl had no idea. What she thought about was not funny in any way. She turned towards the direction that the snowball came from. The person that hit her was a Ravenclaw girl. 'Well, that explains a lot.' she rolled her eyes. 'OOH, it's a prefect! That is even better!' the girl grinned and took one snowball of the couple that she gathered. 

Ava thought about her decision again. 'Hmm... Do I really want to waste a good snowball?' after looking around one more time she saw... professors? 'WELL, THIS IS TOO GOOD!' she yelled in her mind. The girl scanned the grounds around her. 'Who do I pick? Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a tiger by the toe. If he hollers, let him go, eeny, meeny, miny, moe.' She chanted out in her mind.

She started humming, while still choosing one of her targets. Revenge? Sounds good, but what if she fails? What about one of the professors? Will her grades go lower? That is kind of true... Ah, whatever. Do what you wanna do or something like that.

"What the...It's gone? And did it melt or some-" Siege would begin to say before a snowball hits his face. It wasn't that strong, but he certainly didn't expect anyone to be targeting him this early on..So...who was it? Smarty? It was smarty wasn't it? Yes it was indeed smarty, with that grin of hers and looking at him, it was definitely smarty.

"Oo smarty, imma pelt you with all my damn strength" Muttered Siege, rolling up a snowball the size of a Bludger, and had to admit he was having some kind of fun doing this. "But first...Defense Aganst the Dark Arts needs some Defense against this..." Said Siege, smiling, as he turned around, while rolling up his snowball some more.

He kept molding his snow, compressing it a bit more, making it more and more dense, hoping he won't melt it anytime soon. His gaze landed on Mellowrose, who looked pretty damn satisfied at his large throw against sweet ole Matilda. Wait...what is he doing? Some kind of ballet routine or something? At least a half-assed one in my opinion...That doesn't even come remotely close to being graceful...When ducks fly is that what it'll look like?

"Time to launch this thing! Please don't melt!" Siege would say to himself, then reaching back and began to throw the Bludger-size-dense-snowball at the Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher, at full strength.

ACTION: Throw Bludger-Snowball at Sawyer Mellowrose [1,3,5,6]

When Siege looked at Delilah she grinned, seeing it had hit him right in the side of his head, there were little white flecks in his long hair now, and Delilah felt a little annoying. She rolled another snowball, why not hit him again? When she had a reasonably sized, compacted ball of white snow, she held it in her hand for a moment, watching Siege throw quite a big snowball at Mellowrose, then she saw what Mellowrise was doing and she couldn't help but laugh, he was just leaping about like a mad man.

Delilah noticed that Siege had said something after she threw a snowball at him, but she wasn't sure what it was. "YOU JUST CALLED ME SMARTY AGAIN DIDNT YOU?" She yelled over to him,  he wasn't too far away from her but there was a lot of commotion around, making it quite loud. She couldn't thing of an insult to throw back at him, so she just yelled, "WELL YOUR NAME IS STUPID." Delilah held her snowball in her right hand, laughing a little at her sorry excuse for an insult as she threw her snowball, aiming for his hip, well she didn't exactly aim for his hip, she aimed for his shoulder, but it was heading for his hip.

Action: Throw Snowball at Siege Aramastus Bal (3,4,1,5)

Serena frowned as her pretty weak snowball, clearly made in a rush crashed into the ground by Darren's feet and just crumbled apart. Well that was certainly disappointing! Despite the result of her action, she had a big grin on her face as she looked around and spotted lots of people getting involved. Everyone looked like they were having fun, which was the most important thing! Her grin quickly fell off her face as she caught a glimpse of Siege. The former friend of hers. The one that apparently no longer wanted to be friends. Serena quickly looked up awkwardly at the sky, as though she had not seen him because the view was so pretty or something. It was entirely because she wanted to avoid looking at him or catching his eye, however.

Oof! 

The Hufflepuff instantly stumbled back as she felt the cold snowball explode against her face. "Ahhh!!" She called out as she stumbled, quickly raising her gloves to wipe the excess snow off herself. She couldn't actually see who had thrown it - most likely because she was covered in snow. She brushed her face a few times, stepping around as she did. Whilst she was stumbling, she actually managed to narrow dodge a snowball from a fellow Hufflepuff. She had no idea she did that, though, because she was still too busy brushing her face off. "Ow, that hurt," She muttered to herself as she scolded herself for getting distracted in the first place. It wasn't anyone's fault but her own!

Getting the snow off herself, she looked around to see a snowball hit her friend Dymphna in the chest. It looked pretty funny to be honest - probably not as amusing as watching someone get hit in the face but still! Grinning, she looked over to see who threw it and noticed Reid. Luckily, they were away from Siege too - which was even better for her. Laughing softly, she decided to head over towards them, grabbing a handful of snow on her way. Quickly running in his direction as she padded the snow together to form a small snowball. "Hey Dymph! You alright there?" She asked as she approached the Ravenclaw who had just thrown a snowball at Reid herself, "Time for some revenge!" She joked as she threw squarely towards the head boy, thinking back to the time when the boy had used a slingshot to hit her in the forehead with a pebble. Plus, she had to get some revenge for Dymphna too, right?

ACTION: Throw Snowball at Reid Kovacs (1,2,4,5)

SUCCESS: James Lachoneus crafted a fine snowball that quickly allowed him to get his revenge! He hit Eica Carnavan on the arm with this quick throw.

SUCCESS: Adam Harringtom's battle cry for the Rebellion clearly worked as he successfully hit Reid Kovacs in the back with this snowball.

SUCCESS: Reyna Calthorn just walks into the battlefield and acts so quickly that she hits her target Siege in the back with such ease! It's like she was a pro at this!

SUCCESS: Darren Hurst cautious behaviour earned him a successful hit! His giant snowball hit Dmitri, with a loud thud.

FAIL: Cecily Quinn used tactics to pick her victim. It was a great plan! Unfortunately, she was so busy trying to decide who to hit that her focus wasn't on the snowball she was making. It ended up breaking apart mid-air and didn't reach Adam!

FAIL: Claryssa North had learned her lesson but unfortunately, her cautiousness didn't pay off! She threw a snowball at Darren but it missed it's aim and ended up intercepting the path of another snowball thrown by Sabrina. They collided in the air, falling apart. Whilst watching it, she ends up getting hit in the back by Eris Elcan!

FAIL: Sabrina Hurst's snowball was aimed well but it collided with Claryssa's snowball and ended up falling apart, missing her target.

FAIL: Ackerley Blackburn made a heroic attempt to get revenge on his colleague for attacking his friend. Unfortunately, the large snowball he made was too big! It ended up falling short and missed Sawyer entirely. Two students attempted to hit him, Bloom and Ezekiel but neither snowball reached Ackerley.

SUCCESS: Lucette Brielle definitely got revenge on Siege for attempting to attack her! Her focus and dedication helped her to hit in the chest with her strong snowball!

SUCCESS: Matilda Barrows throws a brilliant snowball towards Sawyer. It was perfect! She was definitely about to get her revenge - until he dodges it at the last minute. Sorry!

FAIL: Bloom Silverton attempts to attack the Deputy Headmaster! Oof! How brave! Unfortunately, she ends up hitting a tree instead. Whoops. The snowball thrown at her by Sabrina, however, never makes it to her so she gets saved! Her boyfriend tries to hit her too! However, she watches his attempt land a few metres in front of her. 

FAIL: Sergei Yornivych uses his bear like strength to aim a snowball at his colleague Sawyer. Unfortunately, it went flying past Sawyer because he used too much strength! Luckily Saiseri misses Sergei so he didn't get hit either.

FAIL: Ezekiel Wasek attempts to attack the Deputy Headmaster too! Ackerley must be pretty lucky though because Ezekiel ends up missing him and loses sight of his snowball. Did it hit someone else? Did it collapse somewhere? Who knows!

SUCCESS: Eris Elcan is a superstar with her throws! She manages to hit another target with her sharp aim, hitting Claryssa in the back.

SUCCESS: Peach Thorne allows herself to have fun and just enjoy the moment. Not being stressed helps her aim and she neatly hits Dmitri in the arm!

FAIL: Ben Eckenrode was apparently a bad boy! He tried to hit his girlfriend but he totally missed her as it landed a few metres in front of her!

SUCCESS: Sawyer Mellowrose's attempt to dodge the incoming snowballs with grace and dexterity actually worked! He managed to avoid two attacks - from Matilda and Siege. The other attempts failed to reach him!

FAIL: Amelia Lovell tries to throw another perfect snowball. Sadly this one wasn't as strong as the previous one! It ended up breaking apart and crumbling before it could reach Dmitri.

FAIL: Saiseri Blevins is getting into the competitive spirit by attacking her colleague! Sadly, she had been so shocked by the clump of snow that had almost hit her that her snowball missed it's target too.

FAIL: Dmitri Jones tries to dodge all of the snowballs coming his way! Unfortunately, Darren catches him! Being hit by the snowball with a loud thud sound, Dmitri stumbles and falls into another snowball by Peach, which hits him in the arm. He gets hit twice and ends up faceplanting into the snow before he can catch his balance.

SUCCESS: Dymphna Teague gets her revenge on the strong arm boy, Reid Kovacs who hit her earlier. She manages to hit in him the chest in return! Success!

SUCCESS: Ava Silver seems to know she’s doing. For the second time in a row, her snowball hits it’s target. The poor victim this time just so happens to be Professor Saiseri Blevins. Let’s hope she doesn’t get points taken away from her house for that.

SUCCESS: Siege Aramastus Bal almost successfully hit his professor with a rage-filled bludger snow ball. Unfortunately, Sawyer dodges it at the last second and is saved. Whilst distracted, he forget to guard his back and was hit in the back by a fast snowball from Reyna Calthorn. Turning around, he ends up getting hit by Lucette in the chest too!

FAIL: Delilah Stewart spent more time trying to come up with insults for Siege than time spent compacting her snowball. The ball fell apart in the snow, missing Siege by a landslide.

SUCCESS: Serena Towers manages to hit her fellow Hufflepuff, Reid Kovacs, in the face as an act of revenge for Dymphna. Yikes, that’s going to leave a mark.

Adam laughed with delight as his snowball slammed into Reid's back. This was the most fun he had had all winter. Still on his lucky streak, seemingly unnoticed and un-targeted, Adam started to run across the grounds again, making sure never to stay in the same place for too long to make sure his chances of getting hit were minimal. Seeking out future targets, he pondered his third option carefully in his head. Let's see, I've already hit a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff so far, he thought. Maybe I should go for all four!

That idea seemed just as good as any, so Adam started to look out for red or green scarves flashing through the air. Who'd make the best target? As much as he wanted to wreak havoc on his own House, he had already gotten used to the idea of his new plan, and tried to ignore the blue clouding his vision. Suddenly, a familiar face caught his eye from the corner of the grounds. A red scarf matched flaming red hair perfectly. Eris. He knew she'd forgive him for it, and he couldn't resist at least trying to peg at least one more of his friends with snow. Rolling up a third projectile, he focused in on the small girl, brought his arm back, and sent the snowball hurtling from his grasp.

Sorry, Eris, he thought, it's all part of the game.

ACTION: Throw Snowball at Eris Elcan (4, 3, 5, 1)

Michelle walked out to the grounds in a dark green coat, thick scarf and boats to see the wonderful snow and instead, she was greeted by a flurry of snowballs being thrown around. She felt her excitement boil in her chest and ran to join the other students' fun. 

Michelle kicked the snow around her feet and smiled happily at the fluffy white snow, freshly fallen snow was her absolute favourite. She grabbed a large amount of the soft snow and began packing it to make a nice round snowball, she glanced around trying to work quickly so she would not be hit.

 All this excitement made her giddy and it reminded her of Christmas when her family would drive to her grandparent's house in the countryside of London. They would all get dressed warm and go outside to play in the freshly fallen snow, it almost always leads to a snowball fight. She laughed quietly to herself relieving the memory as she looks around for someone to throw the snowball she had made at.

Michelle finally spots a face she knows, its one of the boys from the train, Adam. She grins evilly to herself and launches at him. 

Action: Throw snowball at Adam Harringtom (1,3,4,5)

 Oh, god, she really did embarrass herself, didn't she? At least no one was looking, right? With a quick look around her, she let out a huff of air. She had no idea to target next, but yet she still found a decent amount of snow to pick up - which was the easy part, apparently - and scoped out a new target. Honestly, she was a little frustrated with the girl whose snowball interfered with her own. Sabrina chewed at her chapped lips, even more so now that she was out in the cold. A nasty habit of her's, but it was bound to stop at one point or another.

 Carefully aiming her second snowball in the fight, she tried to aim it at the girl who had thrown the snowball right into her own. But as she launched it, she watched with her mouth agape as it went past the girl, and towards a dark-haired Ravenclaw boy. She hadn't meant to do it - and from here he looked like the prefect, Benny? Bernard? Something like that. She hadn't meant to throw it at him, but well, anything worked for her at the moment.  It was only a snowball fight, anyways.

A C T I O N: Throw snowball at Ben Eckenrode. (5,2,6,4)

Anatole darted away, his hair whisking behind him. Carefully, he pinned himself against the tree, curious to think that he might stand a chance at blending in for once. He took a deep breath, kneeling down to form another aerodynamic sphere of snow. He breathed heavy, his hands slowly growing number the more he touched it. Anatole had dashed away before he saw his snowball possibly drench the Slytherin prefect's glittering black hair.

He shivered in the cold, watching anxious students dash around, some even noticing Anatole crunched against the grainy, dark bark. However, none of them seemed bold enough to fire at him. It made Anatole smile. None of them knew him, so he almost had free range of the whole territory.

As long as he didn't trip again...

Anatole dashed out from behind the tree, trying to spy an unsuspecting opponent to hit. At first, he scanned the field for familiar faces he could hit and remain it as a joke. They must've thought it was funny, being hit in the back with freezing cold snow. Sounded great, huh.

This moment was almost perfect since Anatole was less of a snow angel person, more of a snowball war person. It made him feel strong, bold, and epic.

Suddenly, a familiar face flashed by him. Mustering all the strength he had, Anatole tossed a snowball at the Ravenclaw's back.

Yeah, who's watching out now?

Evelyn was doing her usual walking while reading a book, then crashing into walls when she should have turned since the hallway ended. There was snow piled up all over outside, one of her fellow Ravenclaws had told her to go outside as they were going to start some kind of large-scale snowball fight. She originally had not listened and stayed inside the common room next to the fireplace to stay warm but started to head down to the library to turn in the book she was almost finished with.

Rubbing her now red face with her left hand she decided that it would be best to not crash anymore and placed the book inside of her robe pocket, luckily she asked the women to change the pockets length. From where she was she was able to see many of the students are outside some were dodging being hit and others were throwing snowballs.

With her book safely inside of her pocket and it was still early in the morning she saw no reason why she wouldn't be able to participate in the event. She crouched down and started to gather some of the snow, even though her gloves she could feel how cold it is. Evelyn compacted the snow into a small ball by using her hands and occasionally rolling it on the floor making it more stable.

She looked around the field for a target and then saw her fellow Ravenclaw Delilah Stewart and thought why the heck not.
