Then

When the time had passed each side had a strategy completed and they were in the midst of carrying them out. Alex stayed in the small fortress they had built in the short amount, defending their side. Collin was to begin a frontal attack while Ginny would sneak along the side and try to take the enemy fortress from the rear. With these optimistic goals they began. Alex was surprised when a few minutes after her friends had left to engage the enemy that Blaise came up behind her. He whispered some suggestions in her ear and after looking to make sure no one could see them from their concealed location, took him up on his offer. Collin had made a dash towards the other fortress, but saw that Hayden was slinking around to the side, where a bend in the fence created a small cove that was impossible to see from either side of the field. Sneaking up behind him, he gave a shove and followed him into the secret area. That left only Ginny and Draco, who were unknowingly the only two left even remotely concerned with the outcome of the snowball fight.

Now

Ginny quietly crept along the forest's edge, stealthily approaching the enemy's snow fort. She watched Hayden creep along the side of the stone fence and dismissed him, beyond him Blaise was nearing the fort but she disregarded him as well. Bending over she grabbed a bit of snow and shaped it with her hands, blowing on it she made her way to the back of the fort. There, a green figure had his back to her. She smiled with relish as she lobbed the snowball at the back of his head. She started laughing when he turned around with a look of surprise on his face. He shivered and dusted the snow off his head and shoulders. He smiled at her predatorily, causing tendrils of heat to curl through her body. He lobbed a snowball at her, she ducked but as she turned he had lobbed a second as soon as the first and it hit her square on her cheek. She gasped as the frozen substance trickled down her collarbone.

She charged him, jumping and tackling him into the snowy white powder. With a single sinuous move Draco had her pinned under him. A look of wicked amusement crossed his face as he scooped snow in his hands and dropped it over her face, giving her a small shower, she gasped at the cold and some of the cool powder slipped between her lips. He laughed as she licked her lips and ate the snow on her face. Using this as diversion, she scooped some snow up and put her plan into action. Leaning forward she linked her arms behind his neck and shoved snow beneath his collar. He gave a shout and rolled off of her and plucked ineffectually at his collar. Ginny dissolved into giggles at his frantic movements.

"Think its funny do you, spitfire?" he asked as he smirked wickedly at her. She giggled and held her hands in front of her to ward off his approach. She shrieked with laughter when he grabbed her and with one hand pinned her against his chest and the other dropped snow into her shirt. She gasped and shoved away from the cold, causing her body to arch against his. In that moment it went beyond teasing and into temptation.

Draco's eyes darkened to slate gray and his sensuous lips parted like he was about to say something. Ginny took advantage of his distraction and shoved against him hard, his arms went around her like a vise and she landed on top of him, exactly as she'd planned. She captured his lips and drowned in his embrace. His hands held her neck, playing with the pulse there, and she had her fingers buried in his silky locks. When they took a breath she leant beck and looked into his eyes, she smiled at him before covering his lips with hers. In a smooth, sinuous, effortless move Draco flipped her over and lay over her, smiling in satisfaction.

He began nibbling along her jaw line, ending at her ear where he did things that made her toes curl and she gasped with pleasure. She slid her hands along his shoulders and down his chest, relishing the strength of his frame. She played with the supple skin that was just under the edge of his shirt. He groaned and nipped her neck a move that caused her to arch into him. She slid her hands along his spine savoring the feel of his skin against her fingertips. She wriggled a bit and shrieked as some snow made its way into the waistband of her pants. She shoved Draco off her and stood up, desperate to get away from the stinging cold. Draco laughed as she jumped up and shivered and shook the snow out of her clothes.

"I don't think it was that funny," she said primly, turning her nose up at him. He shook his head and stood next to her. "Let's go check on everyone else, there's no telling what they've been doing," she joked. He nodded and walked in front of her, towards the field where the battle was supposed to have taken place. She smiled evilly at his back as she bent and scooped up a handful of snow. She lobbed it at the back of his head but she was shocked when he leaned to the side and the snowball flew ineffectually over his shoulder. He pivoted and threw a ball of snow right at her, her mouth dropped open and she jumped to the side, barely getting out of the way in time.

"How the bloody hell did you do that?" she asked in amazement. Draco smirked superiorly and Ginny just laughed at the look of pride on his face. "You look like such a cute, innocent little boy when you do that," Draco feigned a look of serious affront.

"I resent that remark," he glared at her before breaking into a grin. Ginny laughed harder as they made their way back to the field. The first thing the saw was Collin and Hayden sneaking out of a small hollow made by the field and the fence. They were both laughing and had satisfied, guilty faces on as they saw Draco and Ginny. Ginny waved and pointed surreptitiously at the fort they had made with Alex. Collin grinded wolfishly and whispered in Hayden's ear, both laughed quietly and grabbed handfuls of snow.

"C'mon, lets go get those traitorous best friends of ours," Ginny whispered into Draco's ear. Her warm breath caressed his ear and he suppressed a shudder brought on by her proximity. He nodded a predatory, approving gleam in his eye. He swiftly grabbed a handful of snow and had it packed into a snowball almost instantly. Ginny stared at him in frank admiration. Hayden and Collin approached from the left and Ginny and Draco came from the opposite, effectively cutting off any escape routes.

They came upon Alex and Blaise in a very interesting position. Alex was on top of Blaise, kissing him passionately and Blaise had his hands under her now wet white sweater. Ginny smirked wickedly and nodded to her companions in mischief. They all raised their arms and released their snowballs at the distracted couple.

"What the bloody hell!" Blaise shouted as he was hit square in the face with a snowball. Alex meanwhile was trying to get the snow out of her sweater.

"Never settle with words what you can accomplish with a snowball," Ginny remarked cheekily. She raised her eyebrow and smirked at Blaise who still lay shocked on the floor. In less than a second she had a snowball in her face.

"Well said, Vixen," Alex said proudly, dusting her hands off and laughing at the expression on Ginny's face. The others joined in her laughter before heading into the castle for some hot chocolate and dry clothes.

So what do you think, was that a good ending to the snowball fight? Well, tell me what you think, but for now thank yous to my loyal reviewers:

Dracosbaby7: that would be awkward, I'm lucky I don't have any guy romantically interested in me or I would have awkward moments too, I'm hoping to examine this awkwardness on their journey to defeat Voldemort's loyal servants, but I guess that's giving some of the plot away, oh well, it might give people ideas that will help me with writing it. Hope you had a happy holiday, or whatever.

hoppers: yeah, everyone tells you that senior year will be your best, bull it is so hard and everyone is pressuring you to be perfect and do your best and go to this school with that major and so on and so forth, it really bites, just make sure you surround yourself with good friends and you'll be good, in fact if it weren't for my BF, or the purple plot bunny Lani as you know her, I think I would have just dropped out by now,

sakura-no-hana-hoshi: I'm glad you'll keep reading.

lostfish: unfortunately, we didn't get to, though we contented ourselves to go to j.c.pennys and jump on the beds there. I'm glad you liked the idea, how am I doing?

luna and sassy: I'm sorry this took so long, I don't have the internet and it really bites. Luckily, I'm not very sick anymore but I mysteriously pulled the muscle between my hip and my tailbone, I didn't even know I had a muscled there, it really hurts though.
