"Oh no!" screeched Hermione. She, Harry, and Ginny rushed out the door to get to Neville before he could show the snow-dwarf to the others.

When they were three quarters of the way to the group, they were already too late. Neville had handed off the struggling dwarf to Ron, who was holding the punching and kicking thing by the ankle, at arm's length.

"STOP!"

Ron, Luna, and Neville turned to see Harry, Ginny, and Hermione run to them. Harry tackled Ron, who kept his grip on the snow-dwarf. Up close, it's child-like face, snowy-blonde hair, and electric blue eyes were pinched up into a snarl. It's yells and shouts of "Put me down right NOW!" were ignored, and it's struggles made the assorted keys and scraps of metal tied around it's waste jingle angrily. It wore a white cap on it's head with a white fur trim, a tan fur tunic, and one white boot.

"Bloody HELL, Harry!" said Ron furiously. He tried to shove the dark-haired youth off of him. "What's gotten into you?!"

"Put. The dwarf. DOWN."

"Put me down this INSTANT!"

"Oh dear, I think I lost my green radish..."

"Hey, give me back my snow-sage, Luna! It's for the dwarf, not your ear!"

"Harry, get the poor thing AWAY from Ron!"

"Here, I'll help! Ron, I swear, I'm going to tell Mum if you ask for a wish from this poor snow-dwarf, and she'll be furious!"

"SHUT UP WITH THE LOT OF YOU!" The wizards and witches turned to the snow-dwarf that had wriggled free of Ron's hand. It had it's arms crossed now and was blinking nonstop with it's long white eyelashes. It smirked satisfactorily when the humans stayed quiet. "That's better. Now, which one of ye twits caught me--ah, it was YOU!"

It pointed at Neville and grinned. It's eyes, the same color as blue lightning, were rather sad, though. "Now, I believe ye'll be wanting yer wish."

"Er...I was going to give the wish to Ron. He's the one who wanted it the most." Neville pointed to the tall red-headed boy. The snow-dwarf turned to Ron.

"All right, then...what is it that ye wish for?" the dwarf said impatiently.

"A moment, please," said Harry. He grabbed Ron's shoulder and forced him a little away from the group. He looked Ron square and the eye and said flatly, "DON'T take the wish."

"And why the bloody hell NOT?" asked Ron stubbornly. His ears were still red from the embarassment of being tackled by someone shorter (if only slightly) than him.

"Because," said Harry irritably. "If that dwarf-thing grants a wish, it might DIE. THAT's why the bloody hell not."

Ron was in a state of quiet shock. He remained silent for a few moments more and finally said, "All right. But it's not WILLINGLY."

The two boys joined the group who had been eavesdropping (except for Luna--she was introducing herself to the dwarf, who was apparently named Alice, and was now heartily shaking hands with it). They quickly turned back when they saw the boys returning and looked at their feet. The dwarf looked up, and she said to Ron, "Have ye decided what ye want yet?"

Ron nodded solemly.

"Yeah."

Harry, Ginny, and Hermione looked at him in shock. "I thought you said you weren't going to ask for anything!" yelled Hermione furiously.

Ignoring the others, Ron told the she-dwarf what he wanted. "I wish...for..."
