It was Christmas day, and all of the Hogwarts students had gone home to spend the season with their families. That is, all except for 6 students. James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Lily Evans, Amaris Fielding and Mirabelle Sun. The infamous Marauders, and the sweet as sugar Angels.
The group was heading down to the Dining Hall for breakfast. Sirius started piling food on his plate, accidentally flicking a fried egg onto Amaris's face.
She turned slowly towards Sirius.
"You're dead, dude."
Amaris picked up two Frankfurt's and chucked them at Sirius. Having found the mark, Sirius growled in a playful manner. He grabbed the basket of rolls and aimed them at James. In return, James picked up a few rashers of bacon and plastered Sirius's face with them. Remus was doubled up with laughter. James and Sirius looked at him.
"Oh n-" Remus was cut off as Lily, giggling madly, threw a pancake in his direction. It landed, covering his face fully. Mira shrieked with laughter. Sirius picked up the gooey spaghetti and chucked it in her direction. Wanting revenge, she dunked a pitcher of pumpkin juice on his head. In return, Sirius dumped a pitcher of orange juice on her head. Squealing, Mira chased Sirius around the hall, making the others laugh.
Amaris scooped a handful of cold porridge. And aimed it at Remus. The porridge found its mark on Remus's hair. He grabbed the tomato sauce bottle off the table. James grabbed the mustard. Sirius ran back and took the BBQ.
"1, 2, 3, SQUIRT!"
The boys started squirting the girls, who were squealing and laughing as the sauces covered them. Seizing the spaghetti, Mira threw handful after handful at the boys, most of it falling onto Sirius. Amaris chucked scrambled eggs, most of which hit Remus, who was still squeezing the tomato sauce. Lily pelted James with oats as he abandoned the mustard and threw cold custard at the girls instead.
The entire group was laughing, and no-one noticed Prof. Dumbledore appear, smiling, at the doorway behind the staff table. Sirius was chasing Mira around the hall again, clambering over the tables, jumping over chairs. Remus and Amaris had gotten hold of the fruit, and were chucking the fruit at each other, dodging and swerving. Lily was backing out of the hall, laughing and pelting James with porridge and oats as he advanced with the custard and mustard.
Lily gave up and ran outside to where it was snowing lightly.
"It's beautiful, isn't it? I always enjoyed snow when I was young," Lily smiled, reminiscing.
"Same. I always felt a connection with snow from as young as I can remember," James replied, his eyes smiling. Lily span around with her arms spread out wide, her tongue out, catching the snowflakes.
"Oof."
Lily fell down on her back on the snow, giggling. James grinned and offered a hand to help her up. She took it and pulled him down onto the snow with her.
"Let's make snow angels!" Lily cried, her eyes lighting up. She started moving her arms and legs, looking like a little kid all over again.
"Lily?"
"Yeah?"
"Did you know you look beautiful even when you're covered in food and making a snow angel?" James said, blushing.
Lily stopped moving and remained silent.
"Because you are an angel, to me. My snow angel."
"James?"
"Mhmm?"
"I love you."
James looked deep into Lily's eyes. They were the same clear emerald colour they always were, but they were filled with an emotion he had never seen in her eyes before.
Love.
"My snow angel."

A/N: So there you have it! My first oneshot, written especially for Christmas. I'm an Aussie, so I've had very little experience with snow. Anyways, to everyone in the entire world, Merry Christmas, and a happy new year!
