Scorpius Malfoy could not wait to go outside and build a snowman. It would be his very first snowman at Hogwarts, and Merlin was he excited. He was honestly so stoked that Albus had agreed to go with him, sure that they would have the utmost fun out there. The snow was something he loved - his father saying he got that trait from his mother who loved the snow just as much, if not more, than Scorpius did. Despite it all, he was up by dawn.

He'd thrown his fluffy green comforter off of him, fluffing up his pillows and making his bed perfectly. Just as he'd been taught - being a pureblood had its perks, one of which being habituary tidiness. He'd moved to his trunk, moving aside some clothes before he got on a dark green sweater and jeans, throwing on a lighter green winter coat. Then he moved over to Albus' bed, shaking the boy and being careful not to wake their other roommates.

"Albus," came Scorpius' whisper, as he shook the boy gently. There was a groan from the brunette before he rolled over, pulling his covers over his head. The blonde rolled his eyes, moving to the opposite side of the bed.

"Albus," he whispered again, slightly louder this time, growing a tad annoyed. The brunette rolled over, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"What?"

"We were gonna go build snowmen, remember?" The smaller boy's eyed widened, finally taking in Scorpius' attire.

"Shit, you're right," And with that he was sliding out of bed, leaving it infuriatingly messy while he got dressed. Scorpius only smiled though, moving to make that one too. Perhaps he had a tad of OCD, but that wasn't the point. Now they were going to get to build snowmen - one of Scorpius' favorite winter activities. The rushed out of the castle, past a confused Flitwick and a smiling Slughorn as they made it onto the snow covered grounds.

"What if we make it a competition?" came Albus' voice from the blonde's left. They shared a wicked smiled before racing over to opposite sides of the courtyard, Scorpius deciding to make his snowman look more realistic. He took half an hour to make his, just as much time as it had taken Albus to, and in the end he'd made a pretty good snowman representing his father. Albus walked over, mouth hanging open in shock.

"I was feeling confident, but after seeing yours I'm gonna have to say you've won."
