This is just a random blob from a story I wrote. Most of the story was lost, and pretty strange at that... (being my first fanfic and all) but I still at this part, it's kind of funny.

The Snow Drift

Harry, Ron and Hermione grabbed their cloaks and whent out onto the grounds. The snow was soft and playful, but it was deep, and they had to take giant steps. They had been chatting about a few of there classes when suddenly Ron's foot sunk deep into the snow. He pulled out his foot, but his shoe was still down in the snow.

"AAAAAAH, MY SHOE" yelled Ron.

Harry and Hermione didn't notice until Ron yelled. As Harry turned around to help he got his whole leg stuck in the snow, and when he tried to pull himself out his arms sunk in. While that happened Ron's other leg had sunk in. They had happened to try and walk through a snowdrift near the castle.

Just then Draco Malfoy came around the corner and saw Harry and Ron stuck in the snow, you could tell he was shaking with silent laughter even at a distance. This made Ron mad, he tried to stand up but fell over backward into the snow, which caused Malfoy to laugh even harder.

Just then blue sparkles came out of Hermione's wand and formed snowshoes under her feet. She went over to help Harry and Ron out of the snow.

"What was that?" Ron asked referring to the magic snowshoes.

"That," said Hermione, "was the snowshoe charm. I read about it in a book, it lasts for about a minute…"

Just as she said this the charm wore off, she still happened to be standing in the snowdrift and she sunk in with a shriek. Harry had to help her out because Ron was laughing so hard it was difficult for him to do much else. This time you could hear actually Malfoy laughing, suddenly Ron stopped laughing ubruptly after noticing.

Malfoy walked around the corner (back the way he came), looking smug. Harry, Ron and Hermione heard what sounded like Malfoy sinking into the snow and, "Hey! Where'd my shoe go?! I can't believe it, it's buried!"

Ron had started laughing with Harry and Hermione, but he remembered; he had to find his shoe.
