It wasn't that late, or really that cold, but one thing three friends knew was that it was snowing outside. The tallest of the three was looking outside the window of the Gryffindor tower. The wide smile on her face showing how excited she was to see the snow falling down from the sky. "Look!" She exclaimed happily and pointed outside. "Angela, please." The youngest began. "We've been planning this for days now, please pay a little bit of att.." but she didn't get to finish the sentence because her older sister was diving for the window to stand beside her friend. "Roos, you have to see this! It's actually snowing!" She exclaimed, just as happy as the former did. Roos got up and collected the rolls of paper that were laying across the table to put them in her bag. "Maybe we should go outside to have a snowfight?" Angela said with a grin. Kim, the one beside her, grinned and pushed her glasses further on her nose. "Our style?" She asked with an innocent tone in her voice. "Our style." Angela agreed with a grin.
It didn't took the three girls long to get outside with their winter cloaks around their shoulders. Each of them was wearing the same wardrobe, though you could visibly see that they added a few things. Each of them was wearing a gold and red scarf with matching hat. They had different gloves, Roos wore black gloves, Kim wore one red glove and one golden glove and Angela wore red gloves with golden stripes. It wasn't that long before the snowballs where flying across the schoolyard and the three friend were having a blast with their little snow war. It took even shorter for magic to combine with the war the three were having. But after a little while Roos, Angela and Kim grew bored of their little war en sat down in the snow, huffing from the exercise they just had. While they were sitting there, they grew bored. This was obviously a threesome you wanted to keep busy, before they started... Kim grinned when a short haired brunette walked by, wearing the green and silver from Slytherin. More Slytherins joined the girl. Kim elbowed Roos, who elbowed Angela, and soon they were having a shushed conversation.
"We can take them on with the three of us." Kim said.
"But sis, they're with 5..." Roos argued.
"Yeah, so?" Angela cut in. "We can still take them on!"
"See it as... a friendly duell." Kim said and winked.
The three felt the eyes of the Slytherins on their back. Who could blame them? Roos, Angela and Kim where known for their tricks and pranks. Though the teachers didn't believe anything about the three girls. Inside of class they behaved like model students, but outside of class... you could better not mess with them. Kim was the best with spells, she could learn spells faster than the other two, and cast them faster as well. On the other hand, Angela was the complete opposite. She was quite hopeless most of the time if it came to spells, she once tried a spell and caused a explosion. But she was good with potions. Roos was the one that was great at planning and scheming, and she could actually keep her concentration when it was needed. Also Roos was in the Quidditch team. They studied hard to keep their grades acceptable, but this also caused the three to occasionally find a spell that wasn't that nice.
The three girls nodded after a short conversation in hushed tones then got up and wandered across the yard. The five Slytherins kept an eye on the three, it never was a good signs if the three Gryffindor Girls split up. Soon, the first one, the short haired brunette, was hit straight in the face with a snowball. The snowball coming from Angela, who grinned widely and even dared to wave. Another girl, one with a tan and dark hair, was hit on her side with a snowball coming from Kim. And the only boy among the Slytherins was hit by a snowball coming from Roos. Who had sickly good aim from the distance she was being.
In no time there was a huge ass magical snow war going on in the middle of the yard. It almost looked like a real war, because the snowballs weren't hitting the other soft anymore. The sounds of the snow hitting could be heard. The three Gryffindor girls were sitting behind a low wall. The Slytherins where standing in the middle of the yard, grinning smugly. Angela looked at Kim, it was time for the rough jobs, and no more misses nice girls.
"Accio Broom" Roos mumbled softly and waved her wand. Soon the broom was flying towards them. Roos hoped the Slytherins wouldn't see it. Glady for her, they didn't. Angela happily didn't need to use the Accio spell, she already had her potion ingredient s with her in her bag, together with a really small cauldron. Though she doubted that she could use it in the mids of their little war. And Kim, well, she had her wand, and the girl was close to deathly with her wand. Angela also got her wand out, even though she wasn't that good with it, she couldn't make use of her potion making ability. So she would just make the best of it using trick and prank spells. While Roos sneaked away Kim stood up from where she was sitting.
" Expulso!" Kim yelled loudly, while waving her wand. She aimed on a huge pile of snow not too far from the group of 5 Slytherins. The pile of snow exploded and covered at least 4 of the 5 Slytherins with a blanket of snow. Obviously, they didn't really like this.
While the Slytherins concentrated themselves on Kim Angela sneaked around, staying close to the ground. She never really was that good at duelling, but she liked teaching these Slytherin kids a lesson or two. When she created quite a distance from Kim she got up.
" Incarcerous!" She yelled, waving her wand towards the Slytherin guy, who was approaching Kim with his wand in his hand. Instead of being entirely tied up, like Angela originally planned, he ended up with only his lower legs tied and landed face first in the cold snow. "Oops.." Angela mumbled while she saw the tanned girl turn around.
"Missed my spatula that much?" The tanned girl laughed softly.
While this was happening, Roos got on her Broomstick. By now she was hovering above the group of fighting hogwarts students, casting a Lumos spell to make herself look more impressive. She looked at the Slytherins. The guy among them was trying to free himself from the ropes that were tied around his lower legs. She was positive that the spell used for that was supposed to tie somebody up completely, leading her to who had cast the spell. Also 4 of the 5 Slytherins where covered in snow. She saw the Spatula-girl, like she called Lynn in her head, talking to Angela. While the brown short-haired brunette finally made her move. She stalked over to Kim. This girl, Nina, was good in spells, just like Kim. This meant to be a spell duell between that two from now on. Better not interfere with that fight. Instead she fled over to Angela's so called 'victim'. She casted a levitating spell on the pile of snow just behind Lynn, and made it fall down on her. She saw Lynn looking around, a confused look on her face. The only thing Roos could do was giggle and yell.
"Up here, doofus!" She said amused, seeing the Slytherin girl look up.
A Ravenclaw girl walked by, she wore her uniform slightly different, just enough to stand out, on the other side of the hallway there were three other students, talking happily. Or at least, it sounded happy. "Paulphin, go back." One of the Huffelpuff girls said, while crossing her arms across her chest. The guy, wearing red and gold, just simply laughed and patted the girls head.
"I just knooow you want me here, girl! Don't deny it." He added to the gesture. This only made the Huffelpuff girl puff her cheeks in annoyance. Then there was the last student among them, also a huffelpuff, she looked timid and shy.
The Ravenclaw girl didn't pay too much attention to them, or what was happening in the yard. That was untill she got a snowball right in her face. She was lucky it was only a snowball..
A soft "Oops" was heard from the blond short-haired Slytherin that was standing in the yard. She actually aimed for Angela, who ducked away with a laugh. The Ravenclaw narrowed her eyes a bit.
"Is this really needed?" She asked annoyed. She was on her way to the library, to keep her house high and study for her next exam. But it seemed she would join a certain red and golden trio instead.
"That's it! I'm going to join!" She growled and made sure her bag was safely put away behind a low wall before entering the yard and beginning to throw snowballs around.
The other three, the two Huffelpuff girls and the Gryffindor guy, arrived at the scene as well. The girl, called Nathalie, and the boy, Paul, were loudly discussing something irrelevant while the third one quietly walked behind them. The first thing they encountered with was a spell flying around, just barely missing the three students. They turned towards the 'snow' war, which wasn't a snow war anymore by now. A gasp was heard from the timid and shy Huffelpuff girl.
"Hey, watch out!" The timid Huffelpuff said loudly, because a spell was directed at one of the Gryffindor girls, the one with the long brown hair. The girl looked around, from where the sound was coming from, then to her right, seeing the biggest snowball she ever saw coming her direction.
"Oh, apples!" She said under her breath while trying to get out of the way of the snowball. Angela just barely got out of the way of the snowball, but did get covered in a layer of snow.
There were all kind of spells flying around, accompanied with snow and other objects. This was just a right out war!
There were spells flying around, probably coming from the spell war between Kim and Nina. A girl-formed shadow was casted on the ground by Roos, still hovering on her broomstick and firing spells on the last Slytherin, a girl with short black hair called Yasmijn, who usually was actually quite nice. And the snowballs were coming from the last Gryffindor girl present. Angela, who was still half-way covered in snow, but now used it as projectiles.
Gladly, before the whole situation could completely get out of hand, a voice was heard.
"This way, miss! I told you the Slytherins were bullying a few Gryffindors!" The female voice said. The owner came into view. Sascha, a huffelpuff girl, came walking towards the scene, accompanied by one of the teachers. Just when the teacher arrived, Alex, the Slytherin girl with the short blond hair, managed to get the Ravenclaw girl down on the ground. Meanwhile Jochem's lower legs were still tied, Lynn was still busy trying to cover Angela into huge piles of snow, which didn't go so well according to the amount of snow that hit the tanned girl and the huge spell war that was going on that moment. The teacher looked around. "Nina, Jochem, Lynn, Yasmijn, Alex, Angela, Kim, Roos and Lotte. All in my office, within 5 minutes. And miss Cindy, Miss Nathalie and Mister Paul, please be present as well to shine some light on this situation."
The talk in the office wasn't a pleasant one, but gladly, the Slytherins were blamed. Roos, Angela and Kim had to held in some smug grin while the Slytherins got their punishment. The only punishment the other 4 got (including Lotte, the Ravenclaw girl) was sweeping the grand hall after dinner. Both sides got points deduction.
Outside the door, Sascha was still waiting untill the students got out. It was clear the 2 Huffelpuff girls and Gryffindor guy didn't do a thing, so they were released earlier after their explanation. Sascha walked over to the three Gryffindor girls.
"No need to thank me. I did it all for myself, because who else would amuse me if you three got a trillion detention hours?" She said with a grin and walked away with a casual wave with her hand. The three friends just shrugged their shoulders. They were used to Sascha's odd behavior by now. The trio shared a rather friendly rivalry with the girl. And for now, they were just glad that they didn't had the earlier said trillion detention hours and decided to get back to the Gryffindor tower to work on the big prank they were planning...
