Just thought we'd have a little fun this chapter, hence the beginning.

"Mommy, are you sure about this?" Harry asked.

"Yes, it'll be fine." Lucy replied, ruffling his hair. "Bando's a tough guy. He can deal with an innocent prank." She glared in the man's direction. 'Bastard's gonna pay for yesterday.' She thought to herself as she looked up at the snowy rooftop of the abandoned building. She just had to push the snow onto him with her vectors and her mission would be complete.

Little did she know, Bando had seen her peeking out at him from behind the building.

Taking a guess about her intentions, Brando smirked evilly as he took out a grenade he was saving for an emergency. He carefully estimations, the hired gun discretely pulled the pin off the casually grenade and tossed it on Lucy's side of the roof.

'Let's see you deal with this.' Brando thought as he passed the house.

There was a small explosion and two surprised yelps, along with a loud "WHUMP" were heard. Bando blinked. 'The bitch got the kid in on it too, huh?' He shrugged. 'He wants to try to screw around with me; he'd best be prepared to put up with the consequences.' He continued walking while whistling a tune.

On the other side of the building, both Lucy and Harry were struggling to escape the snow pile they were buried in. After thirty seconds their heads popped out of the snow at the same time. Harry looked like he was having the time of his life while Lucy looked like she wanted to skin a certain someone.

Harry turned to his mother and saw she had a little beard made out of snow. He giggled. "You look like Santa Claus!" He exclaimed.

Lucy blinked and looked down at her chin to see her chin and chuckled.

"I guess I do." Lucy said as she picked up Harry and stood up.

"Come on. Let's go find Bando and get him."

"Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"Um...I have an idea." Lucy listened closely as Harry told her the details, her grin widening the more she heard.

And so, seconds later, Harry and Lucy stood behind a tree with snowballs at the ready, watching Bando approaching from the top of a large hill. He noticed them from the corner of his eye and smirked. 'Still wanna play those games with me? Dumbasses...' He thought. The mother-son duo sprung from the tree and began to toss snowballs. Lucy was using her vectors as well as her hands to toss them. Bando stared at the snowballs impassively. Then he ducked, bobbed and weaved around them, successfully dodging every ball of compact powder without a single speck of it on his clothes.

Lucy and Harry exchanged glances and hurriedly began to make some more. Bando smirked and lit a cigarette, noticing something out of the corner of his eye. A chubby man was building a snowman. He had a nametag that said 'Hello! My name is Stevie!' Bando approached him with a bored expression on his face...then grabbed him by the shirt and held the gun to his throat.

"Gimme the snowball and you don't get hurt, Lard Boy."

"Okay! Okay! Don't hurt me!" Stevie replied, still grinning.

"...Your voice pisses me off." Bando shot Stevie in the knee.

"Ouch!" Stevie exclaimed before limping away. "What a super mean guy!"

Bando grabbed the largest snowball and rolled it towards the hill Harry and Lucy were making snowballs at the bottom of. "You wanna throw snowballs? Get a load of MY snowball." He muttered to himself before pushing it down.

"Okay, I think we have enough." Lucy said with a bundle of over thirty snowballs in her and Harry's arms. They turned around to throw the snowballs at Brando only to freeze at the sight of a snow boulder heading their way and getting bigger as it collected snow.

"Aw shi-" Lucy said before the snowball bowled them over and took them away as the boulder headed towards some trees. When the boulder smashed into the trees, it exploded into a massive pile. The duo quickly dug their way out of the remains of the boulder, only for more snow to fall from the trees and land on them.

Bando crossed his arms and smirked as two smaller piles slowly rose from the bigger one. Two pairs of eyes became visible from within the piles. One emerald green, looking like he was eager for another go. One burning red with rage, looking like she wanted his head on a silver platter.

Brando laughed loudly and walked away, leaving Lucy to stew in her anger. 'I don't care how long it takes, I will END YOU!' Lucy vowed as Harry giggled.

"Can we do that again?" Harry asked, causing Lucy's anger to subside.

"Maybe later Harry." Lucy said gently, then glared at where Brando went. "But right now we need to come up with another plan."

They eyed a nearby drug store. Lucy gained a thoughtful expression. "Hmm..."

And so...

"Mommy, what are...laxa-tives?" Harry asked.

"They make you want to go to the bathroom." Lucy replied simply. "Bando's going to the bar, and we're going to slip these in his drink." She said with a grin.

"Oooooh. Mean." Harry said with a small giggle.

They watched Bando enter the bar, called the Three Broomstics, and snuck in behind him, taking a seat at a table. Lucy pulled up a menu to hide their faces and watched as he ordered his drink. "We need some kind of distraction..." She mumbled. Harry tilted his head.

"Maybe tap his shoulder...?" He asked. Lucy grinned.

"Yeah...That works..." She prepared her vectors as she opened the laxatives. Bando's drink arrived. Just as he was about to take a sip, Lucy tapped his shoulder with one of her vectors. When he turned to see what had happened, another vector dumped the laxatives into his drink.

Lucy grinned. "Come on." She whispered to Harry. "Let's get out of here before he sees us." They snuck out of the building, Harry stifling his giggles.

"So, what's a fine piece like you doing working in a joint like this?" Bando asked the waitress. She gave him a curt glare and turned away. "Pfft. Whatever, bitch." He went to sip his drink...but stopped when he noticed something was off with the smell.

"Some bastard spiked my drink." He said out loud before peeking outside and noticing some rustling bushes. "And I think I just found out who did it." He stared at his drink. It was hot coffee. He had wanted to warm up. He sighed and rose to his feet. "What a waste..." He muttered stepping out of the bar and dumping the coffee out into the bushes he had seen rustling and dropped the cup where he poured his drink out.

He shoves his hands into his pocket and skulks away. When he was out of range, one of the bushes shock rapidly and Lucy popped out then screech in pain from the hot coffee that was dumped on her head with the cup balanced on top of her head. She desperately tried to shake the coffee off before launching herself at a snow bank to cool her scalding skin.

Harry popped out of his bush. He had some on his head too. But the pain was going away rapidly, so he didn't mind as much. He blinked when his mother shoved her entire head into a snowbank, steam pouring out of it when she did so. "Mommy? Are you okay?" Lucy groaned as she pulled her head out. She glared at Bando. "Harry...Lets go and get your sled." She said curtly.

And so.

Harry and Lucy sat atop a steep hill. Bando would be coming this way in order to return to the castle. And Lucy and Harry would be ready for him!

Bando walked by, noticing a large ledge at the bottom of a steep hill. He put his hands in his pockets and stood to admire the view. Lucy's eyes widened. No way...It didn't seem natural that they'd have such a perfect target! She couldn't waste this opportunity...She kicked off and they went down the hill.

"M-Mommy? I thought we were gonna aim for the tree over there so we don't fall off the cliff."

Lucy's eyes widened at the realization that she had messed up. Oh well...At least they'd take Bando with them.

Or not. Bando had known they were there the entire time. He had lured her into a false sense of security. And then, at the very last second, he stepped out of the way, avoiding them entirely. Lucy turned to see his smirk, and the sled went rocketing over the ledge, launching its two occupants right off and sending them pitching headfirst towards the snowy ground.

Brando looked down at where they landed, at this point started to feel sad for the two and their inability to get him. The large man then shrugged. 'Oh well, not my fault that they didn't give up by now.' Brando took out a cigarette and lit it before he walked back towards the castle.

At the bottom of the cliff, Harry and Lucy wiggled their butts to get themselves out of their current predicament. Harry was the first one to get out and clapped happily, feeling exhilarated.

"That was fun!" Harry cheered when the snow around Lucy shifted as she rose from the snow, looking like she was about to snap.

She pressed her feet against the snow and thrusted her lower half back and forth, eventually forcing herself free. Her eyes narrowed. "Let's make snowballs. We're going to get him no matter what!"

And so...Bando was walking through the woods, nearly back at the castle. He noticed movement from behind the trees. "I see you back there." He warned.

"Now!" Lucy commanded. Bando groaned and leapt over the mother and child as they attempted to tackle him to the ground and face wash him.

"DAMN IT TO HELL!" Lucy bellowed. She ended up crashing into Harry as they flew towards each other, and due to her heavier body weight carried him with her as she went flying. The two of them hit the ground and slid across the powder, eventually becoming buried within the snow. Bando watched them slide off. After a moment, he noticed two piles forming from the snow. He approached the rapidly growing piles of snow, expecting to see their heads pop out.

What popped out of the snow was not their heads.

It was their posteriors, both of which started to shake back and forth. Brando couldn't help but stare at Lucy's ass as it shook, the angle letting him see her panty clad bottom.

'I have to say this for the bitch, she has a sweet ass.' Brando admitted as he stared at her butt for a couple more seconds before walking away, deciding that he wanted to get warm more then he wanted a good view of his enemy.

Before he left, he turned to toss two snowballs at their rears. They stuck. "Hey, Diclonius bitch!" He called out. "How 'bout instead of trying to do dumbass pranks you actually do that whole Christmas business you were going out to do in the first place, huh?!"

While she was pissed when she felt the snowball hit her, she froze when she realized that she allowed her desire for revenge o cloud her mind.

'That's right, I was going to get a few gifts for Harry after McGonagall explained to me what Christmas was.' Lucy remembered, feeling guilty for forgetting.

'Damn you Bando...' She thought angrily. 'Someday...Someday I'll make you PAY for yesterday and today. ...But first the presents. And before that...how do I get out of here?'

Ten minutes later, Lucy led Harry back to Hogsmeade and to some of the shops. Lucy and Harry looked at all the weird things that the magical folk sold, happy that Dumbledore was able to help them exchange some of the money that Lucy got from the police into the coins that they used in the magical world.

Harry looked around and felt a little overwhelmed by all the foreign things around him.

"I...I don't know what's what." Harry answered, looking at all the candies and toys around them.

"Do you need help?" A young male's voice behind them called. The two turned around to see a 13 year old red haired boy with freckles on his cheeks approaching them. He was wearing the school uniform that was lined with red and had an image of a lion on his upper torso.

"Hi..." Lucy said uneasily. "I don't know if you can help us. We were just looking for some presents for my son here, but he's not sure what he wants."

The young student smiled. "Don't worry; I was going to find some things for my younger brothers and sister. So I can help you while I'm searching around."

Lucy smiled. "I...really appreciate it." Lucy told him. "What's your name?"

"Me? I'm William Weasley, but everyone calls me Bill." Bill introduced himself.

As the trio looked through the store, they decided to start a conversation. Bill mentioned that he had five younger brothers and one sister. The oldest of his brothers, Charlie, started Hogwarts the previous year and was currently at the Castle. Bill also mentioned that his youngest brother, Ron, was about the same age as Harry and might start when Harry did.

Lucy blinked. "A boy Harry's age..." She said. "Hmm...I wonder if they would be good friends."

After about an hour of browsing the store, Lucy was able to find a good gift for Harry while Bill was able to buy something for all his siblings.

"Thank you." Lucy said to the boy gratefully as she watched her Harry smile at his gifts.

"You're welcome." Bill told them walking besides them as they exited the shop and made their way towards the castle. "Mom always said that we should be kind to others."

Lucy smiled sadly, looking towards the castle. "Your mother is a kind person." She said softly. Those words reminded her of Kouta and his endless kindness.

"Well, I'll catch you two later. I need to get to Charlie." Bill said shaking Lucy out of her thoughts as Bill started to walk faster towards the castle. "Maybe I'll see you around!" He called back to them.

Lucy smiled and waved as Bill got further and further away until he was out of sight.

"He was...very nice." She said softly.

"I like him!" Harry agreed.

"Me too Harry…me too." Lucy replied as she picked Harry up and continued up to the castle. "Want to get some hot chocolate to warm up?" Lucy asked him. Harry's eyes lit up and nodded enthusiastically.

Lucy chuckled. "Alright, let's get out of this cold."

And so, the Diclonius and human child made their way to the castle, already tasting that warm, chocolaty goodness on their tongues.
