Author's notes: Hey!! Hi people!! Thanks for the reviews!!
Here's chapter 12:
***start***
The month was already over and the Durmstrang lot was already leaving.
"See you then!" Karkaroff bid goodbye, and slowly, the huge Durmstrang ship sank back into the cold January water.
"Well, since it is Friday, I give you all a day off and enjoy the snow." Dumbledore said to everyone. "Come on then, Professor McGonagall, we have very important work to do." Dumbledore's eyes twinkled mischievously behind his half-moon spectacles.
"Yes, yes. Well, Lupin, are you going to accompany us?" McGonagall said, turning around, her robes of deep purple swishing behind her.
"Yes Professor. I'll be right with you." Lupin replied. He turned to Harry as Professors McGonagalland Dumbledore walked away.
"Just have fun, okay?"
"What do you mean?" Harry asked him.
"Just have fun. Now I have to go." Lupin smiled mysteriously and followed to Dumbledore's office.
"What did he say?" Ron struggled to say, for he was about to burst in fits of laughter.
"I don't even understand what he's saying." Harry sighed. Then Ron burst into laughter. "What are you laughing about?"
"N-nothing!!" Ron choked out. Lavender nudged him. Ron just continued to laugh and pointed at a huge snowball levitating teen feet above.
"W-What is that?" Hermione said, staring at the huge clump of snow. At that, Ginny's head popped up.
"FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!! GEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOORGE!!!!! GET ME DOWN!!!!!!!" Ginny shrieked.
"Nope!!" Fred said, waving his wand, making the huge snowball that was Ginny shake up and down. Without warning, Colin and Dennis threw aimed snowballs at Fred and George's faces.
"That's it!!! That's the last straw!! SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!" George cried, throwing a snowball at Colin.
"He he!" Colin sniggered, but was hit by a snowball thrown by Dennis.
'What did you do that for?" he cried, facing his brother.
"I don't know." Answered Dennis. At last, the snowball fight had begun.
Ron, founding it funny, threw a large snowball at the back of Malfoy's head. Malfoy staggered, and turned around. Ron quickly threw a snowball at Lavender. Malfoy knew he was the one who threw it, and then threw a big one and hit Ron at the side of his head.
"Why you!" Ron said, throwing a snowball at Malfoy. Harry and Hermione ducked to avoid Ron's snowballs. Hermione ran forward and ducked, her hand scooping a handful of snow. Harry ran to the other side, then being hit by a snowball thrown by Cho.
"Oops, sorry Harry!" Cho said in a flirty way, which made Harry smile in disgust. Parvati was now covered in head to foot, Pansy from Slytherin bombarding her with snowballs, and her sister Padma from Ravenclaw doing the same. Ginny was still floating overhead, then a minute later, fell into Fred, George, Colin and Dennis. Ernie MacMillan from Hufflepuff threw a snowball at Hannah Abbot, but had a wrong aim and hit Angelina Johnson instead. The Inter-House Snowball fight had just begun.
Ron tackled Lavender into the snow, and then Lavender smudged a huge amount of snow in Ron's face. Lavender rolled onto her side, stood up and sat on Ron's back. He fell onto the snow.
Hermione threw a huge snowball at Harry and ducked. Harry threw a snowball at Hermione but she ducked just in time, and it hit Ron at the back of the head instead. Ron took vengeance and threw BIG ones back at Harry, who stooped in the nick of time, hitting Fred and George on their butts, who were still under a pile of snow named Ginny Weasley. They struggled to escaped from the mess they made and made hundreds and snowballs and throwing them everywhere, including the peace-loving first years who were making snowmen and charming them to move. Harry ran from the two snowball-cannons and went to Hermione and Ron. Ron threw a snowball at Harry, which hit him hard, flat in the face. Ron laughed his guts out at the sight of Harry falling into the snow-covered ground with his face smudged with snowballs, his eyeglasses askew. A snowball thrown by Draco Malfoy who was sniggering soon later hit Ron. Ron threw a snowball at him, then Fred and George followed suit. Soon Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe were already huge stupid snowmen, Malfoy a heap of snow at their feet. Hermione was running towards Harry, kneeling beside him, to ask if he's okay. Harry laughed at Hermione and caked a snowball at her face. Hermione snickered, gathering a huge pile of snow and stacking them on his face. He laughed, then sneezed, and laughed again. Cedric Diggory (let's pretend that he's still alive, k?) was sitting in a corner when all of a sudden; Cho Chang hit his head with a snowball. Ron was still attacking the people around him, especially Malfoy, with his charmed snowballs. Malfoy was always hit, and always on his head. They were already shooting snowballs from snowball cannons when Lavender and Pansy decided to hit the two with snowballs.
Fred and George, who were a bit tired of assaulting first-years, turned to the window on the second floor.
***Dumbledore's office…***
"I have a prediction Albus." McGonagall said, staring into her orb.
"Do not tell me that you are getting interested at Divination, Minerva." Dumbledore sighed. He peered into his own.
"Don't worry. I still hate that imprecise branch of magic." McGonagall said.
"Well, what's your prediction?"
"Sybil's going to be hit."
"I expect Snape will be hit too."
***Back at the Inter-House Snowball Fight…***
Fred, sniggering, and George snickering, threw their new flavor filled, germ-free snowballs, at Snape and Trelawney.
***Duumbledore's office."
Minerva McGonagall was laughing so hard and her hat's already falling off.
"Well, Minerva, if you're finished laughing at Sybil, we could proceed on what we are doing. We have to do it successfully or Lupin and Sirius has to do another set of plans…just because of this Snowball fight." Dumbledore said, replacing his wizard's hat.
"Yes, yes. Well then, what do we do?" McGonagall asked him.
"Like what we did before." Dumbledore replied.
"What?"
"Don't you remember the rock thing?"
"Oh, the flooding-the-school-with-rocks-and-puddles thing."
"No. Not that."
"Then what?"
"The rock thing that we did on the last snowball fight."
"Oh. Well, you said it. " McGonagall sighed.
"Now get your wand and point it right – (McGonagall: Where?) – There." Dumbledore said to McGonagall as he pointed his wand to a spot.
"Where?" McGonagall asked again.
"Honestly, stop laughing at poor Sybil's face." Dumbledore said as he looked at Trelawney. Then he started laughing hard. (That is NEVER EVER possible in the book.)
"And you tell me to stop." Minerva said.
"Now, come on then Minerva. One…two…three…."
***Back at the Inter-House Snowball Fight…***
Hermione was running away from Gred and Forge – no – Fred and George who went sabotaging people again. Meanwhile, Harry was running away from the showers of icy snowballs above them, and running away from Ron and Malfoy's snowball cannon fight. Both running, Hermione tripped over the stone, the out-of-nowhere-appearance rock and fell onto Harry.
"You know Herm, I just noticed…you fall onto me very often. You sure trip a lot." Harry joked.
"Yeah right… like I wanted to trip." Hermione said. She remembered that time when she tripped over a very big rock and sprained her ankle. I, the author, think that rocks are McGonagall and Dumbledore's specialty. 'I didn't want to trip, but I always did want to fall into you…' Hermione thought.
"You're getting cozy… I must say, I'm getting envious… c'mon Lavender." Ron said jokingly, grabbing Lavender's hand and hugging her.
Hermione blushed and stood up, Harry following suit. They stared at Ron and Lavender who were still hugging each other.
"Quit it guys." Harry said threateningly. (He was joking of course.)
"Oh yeah? I don't want to." Ron said playfully. Lavender, who seemed to know what was going to happen, tried to tell Ron.
"Okay. You don't want to?" Hermione said. A minute later, Ron and Lavender was barraged with snowballs.
"Ha! Told you so!!" Harry said, laughing his guts out.
The snowball fight continued until night was going to fall, and Fred and George were declared as the "Champions of the Over-Crazed Inter-House Snowball Fight for hitting all the students". They went to the Great Hall for dinner and went up to their own common rooms, all wet and drenched. Harry, Ron and Hermione, with the rest of the Gryffindors, went up to the Gryffindor tower, talking about the snowball fight. Once or twice, Neville would fall asleep while walking, falling into the person next to him, causing the others to fall like the domino effect.
Once they were inside, they headed to their own separate dormitories.
