Finding New Things

A few weeks passed by and soon they were in the Christmas season. There was snow all over the grounds and the lake was iced over. The students were already on their Christmas break or so they thought. The First Year boys and the First Years girls were all sitting in the common room whining about their homework.

"This is supposed to be Christmas break and we have 3 scrolls of parchment for an essay for Sturbingham and 2 scrolls of parchment for an essay for McGonagall and 4 scrolls of parchment for an essay for Binns. Some Christmas break!" Sirius said in a very discouraged way. " I thought we'd have some fun on the Christmas break. So much for that theory."

"I know what you mean. I thought we'd have a fun Christmas break too but apparently the teachers can't let us have any fun," said Rhia in an equally discouraged voice.

"Well, I say if theirs snow on the ground why not use it!" James stated in a triumphant voice.

"Way to tell the world James. That was loud enough to wake the dead," Sirius said.

"Or at least all the students in the Castle," Lily said.

"Well, I'm with James if there is snow on the ground it's time for a snowball fight!" said Rory.

"I think I'll pass on this one guys. I don't really like the snow," said Alice.

"That's okay, it will be even teams if you don't want to come. Are you sure you don't want to come?" Asked Rhia.

"I'm totally and completely sure,"

"Okay then if your sure. We'll be back in an hour or so." Rory said.

"Hey guys, go get all your stuff on then we'll meet you back here in 5-8 minutes," Lily said.

"All right then. Let's go!" yelled Sirius as he sprinted for the boys staircase to get his stuff.

After 6 minutes the boys were all waiting in the common room for the girls to show up. They all had their stuff on and were sweating like pigs. Finally, after another two minutes the girls came down the stairs.

"What took you so long, we've been waiting here for three minutes sweating like pigs on a hot summer day about to go wallow in the mud to cool down," Sirius said.

"Your very imaginative Sirius," said Rhia.

"C'mon lets get going," said Remus.

After a long hot trek through the castle they finally made it outside. They walked over to a spot near the lake where they could build good bases.

"I call being a captain for picking teams," said James.

"Ooh, I want to be a captain too so I can pummel James' head into the snow like a ostrich putting it's head in the sand when it's scared," said Sirius.

"You sure are elaborate today aren't you Sirius," said Remus.

"Being elaborate is fun,"

"Uh huh," said James. "Anyway the first person I pick to be on my team is Remus of course."

"Okay then I pick Rhia,"

"I pick Lily,"

"Yay then I get Rory,"

"Okay, let the base building begin,"

After about 15 minutes of building their bases the teams declared game on. The first snowball to hit a target was Sirius' which hit James right between the eyes. James countered by hitting Rhia in her left leg. Rhia came back with a blow at Remus' shoulder and then they're was just too many snowballs to know who's hit who so we'll just skip to when it ended. By the way James' team won.

"You guys are very worthy of the Eagles," said James.

"The Eagles?" asked Rory.

"Yes, that's what I named our team," said James.

"James, that's a lame name," Lily said.

"Nu uh!"

"Ya huh!"

"Nu uh!"

"Ya huh!"

"I'm having Deja Vu," said Sirius.

"Probably because we had a similar debate about who won second place in that race we had on the first day of class," said Remus.

"Oh ya. We never did find out who won," said Sirius.

"Why not just leave at we tied,"

"All right," Sirius paused looking at James and Lily. "Their debate is lasting longer than ours did."

"That's probably because they are both extremely stubborn, and we were stopped by Sturbingham,"

"Think we should stop them guys," Rhia said after her short conversation with Rory ended.

"Ya, they might say something stupid to each other and then they won't be friends any more," said Rory.

"Ya I guess. I know just how to stop them," Sirius stated then he cleared his throat and said in a very loud voice. "They would be so cute as a married couple don't you think Rhia?"

"Ya, they already argue like a married couple anyway," Rhia said catching on to Sirius' method very quickly as Sirius thought she would.

"WHAT?!" James and Lily yelled at the same time. James started going toward Sirius with a menacing look, while Lily's fiery temper started on Rhia.

"It was just a joke James old buddy ol pal," Sirius shrinking a little at the look on James face.

"Gotcha! I'm not really mad, your our friends and we know you were joking," James and Lily said together.

"Oh few! I thought James was gonna kill me with his bare hands," Sirius said relieved.

"Nope, c'mon let's go inside."

"Good idea. That wind is starting to bite like a rabid monkey on steroids," said Sirius.

"Stop with the elaborate phrases already," Everyone yelled at Sirius.

"Fine!" Sirius pouted.

They all went back inside the castle and walked up the stairs and down the corridor to the portrait of the Fat Lady and said 'Werewolf ' which always made Remus go a little paler than usual. They walked inside the common room and to their dormitories where they could get changed before dinner. They all came back down in dry clothes and made there way to the Great Hall. After they were done eating they all decided to do a little exploring of the castle. James showed them all a present he got from his dad a few years back. It was an invisibility cloak. Lily, being muggle-born, was really amazed by it and questioned how it worked. the answer she got was simply magic. James, Sirius, Remus, Rory, Rhia and Lily all got under the cloak after doing a quick enlargement charm they just learned in Charms. Once they were all comfortably under the cloak they made there way out of the portrait hole and down one of the corridors. But before they could actually get anywhere they all tumbled over from not stepping at the same time with the same foot. So when they were all standing up they decided that James should quietly say 'right left right left' over and over again. So with James doing that they all managed to not fall down at their first step and they also managed to make it all the way to the end of the corridor too.

"What should we try and find first?" asked Rory.

"Why not the kitchens," Sirius replied.

"Sounds good to me. What about you guys? Do you want to go look for the kitchens?" asked Rory.

There was a course of people saying yes or sure or okay. They all started walking down more corridors utnil they stopped at a fork in the corridor.

"Where should we go now?" asked Sirius.

"Let's go right," Rhia said.

"Alright," everyone replied.

So they all turned right and found themselves in front of a picture with some food on it.

"Wow," said Sirius, "that looks delicious!"

"All you ever think about is food isn't it Sirius," James stated with a smile spread across his face.

"Well, there isn't anything here so let's keep looking," said Rhia.

"Wait!" Lily said. "Think about this logically. We're looking for the kitchens and there are no other pictures of food in the other corridors. This must be the corridor with the kitchens in it."

"I agree with Lily," Remus said. "Maybe we have to do something to one of the paintings and it will open like a portrait."

"Ya, it's so crazy it just might work!" Sirius said with a sudden spurt of energy.

"Sirius your so weird sometimes," Rhia said shaking her head.

"And your so abnormal," Sirius replied with a smirk on his face. After that Rhia got annoyed and kicked him really hard in his leg. Sirius yelped in pain and then was shushed by everyone around him.

"Violent girl she is," Sirius said with a hurt look on his face. After all who wouldn't be hurt after having a girl kick them. (A/N Right girls? We kick hard!)

After that they all started playing around with the food pictures hoping that one of them would open. Another ten minutes passed and they were on the very last picture. It was a picture of a fruit bowl. They all started running their hands across it hoping to find somethng when Sirius sneazed on the pear in the picture.

"Yuck! Sirius that is disgusting!" Lily said. "Wipe it off right now!"

Sirius did as he was told and all of a sudden the pear started squirming and then it turned into a handle. Everyone looked at the handle in amazement. Finally, Rory went and turned the handle of the door. It opened and they stood there in amazement.

"This is the best place in all of Hogwarts!" Sirius squealed incredibly excited.
