A/N: So sorry for the shortness of this chapter, but I will make it up to you next chapter! BTW, would you guys be opposed to an Albus/Tessa Finningan pairing? Just an idea... Oh and I was listening to the song below the whole time I was writing the story, and it certainly helped me :)

"Run outside,
So starry eyed.
A snowball fight breaks out
And winter has finally begun...
I twirl through the driveway with angelic grace,
'till I slip on the sidewalk and fall on my face..."
~Peppermint Winter, Owl City

Wednesday Afternoon, Two days before Holidays.

Rose's POV

My head was propped tiredly on my hand as I flipped through the pages of my textbook without interest. After last night's events I was too tired to even answer any questions in class.

"C'mon Rose, class ended," said Tessa Finnigan, pulling on my arm.

Yawning widely, I completed my notes and started to pack my things up. Fortunately, Tessa and I had a free period right before lunch—a perfect time for a nice nap.

"Hey, Rose, where you going?" asked a familiar voice.

"'Lo Max," I yawned. "I think I'm gonna take a nap..."

Max McLaggen put his arm around my waist, and leaned in towards me.

"Mind if I join you?" he asked waggling his eyebrows and giving me a toothy smile.

I heard Tessa cough, "Sleazy," next to me, and I silently agreed with her.

"Ya, I do mind, actually," I replied cuttingly. Slipping out of his grip, I walked a bit faster, but in my sleepy stupor I bumped into another student. It was Albus.

"Rosie! Tessa! I haven't seen you guys all day! How's my favorite cousin?" Albus asked enthusiastically.

I yawned in response, and Albus chuckled.

"Hey, you can't go to sleep! We're going to go outside and build the biggest snowman ever," Albus argued.

"Do I have to Albus? I really just want to go sleep." I groaned, glancing longingly at the set of stairs that would take me to my warm cozy bed.

"C'mon," he replied jerking my arm towards the open doors Hogwarts. We walked outside into the bitter cold, and I had to hold in a gasp.

The ground of Hogwarts was beautifully covered in a blanket of fluffy snow. Snowflakes drifted gracefully onto ground. The numb breeze was like a douse of water to my face, and I woke up immediately. I dug out my Gryffindor scarf, and mittens and quickly bundled up as Albus led the two of us near the Great Lake.

I spotted a small group of Slytherins laughing with each other. A misshapen lump of snow was next to them.

"Hey Albus," greeted some of the Slytherins. One of them was Scorpius Malfoy. Of course he would be here...

Albus ignored them, and pointed to the lump, "What is that?"

The Slytherins looked embarrassed, but one brave person spoke up, "It's the base of the snow man." Albus looked disbelievingly at the group of Slytherins. Then he turned to me and gave me a look that clearly said please fix the lump.

With a sigh I rolled my eyes, and examined the lump. But I suddenly got an idea. I leaned forward, and started to make a snowball from the lump. No one could see what I was doing because my hair created a curtain.

Satisfied with my snowball, I quickly turned around and lodged the snow at Albus' face.

"Rose!" he cried, wiping the snow off his face. "I will get you for that!" But I had already started running.

But obviously—being myself—I tripped and landed face first onto the snow. Albus' snowball had hit Scorpius since I fell.

"Al!" Scorpius yelled indignantly.

The rest was pure chaos.

Everyone started to throw snowballs; no one could tell who was throwing what.

I grabbed some snow and crept up behind Scorpius who was distracted with throwing snowballs at a Slytherin. When I was close enough, I yanked the back of his cloak and sweater, and dumped the snow down. He shivered, and turned around quickly. But because of the icy floor, he slipped and fell on top of me.

"Scorpius!" I laughed but it soon faltered when I realized how close we were. His alabaster skin looked soft to touch, and I could see his intense smoky eyes staring back at me. White-blond locks, fell into his face, and his pink lips were turned up in a smirk.

"I got you right were I want you Rosie," he declared. I turned my head to see his hand filled with snow—ready to be thrown my face.

I closed my eyes preparing for the cold slush to hit me, but instead I felt a feather light kiss on my nose.

My eyes flew open, but Scorpius was already walking away from me, getting back into the snowball fight.

I sat up, propped on my elbows, and I felt a feeling of loss wash over me—similar to when Scorpius left me after our brownie break. And then, I realized something very bad...

I wanted him to kiss me again—only lower, this time.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!: Er...all I wanted to say was that I have a new HP story called the Insidious Love Seat. It's about an enchanted love seat that brings couples together. Check it out if you're looking for a new story to read! Or don't, whatever you want to do...

A/N: Oooo...Rose is falling in love also! Let the awkward sexual tension begin! :P Oh and I apologize for not describing the snow more, because I haven't ever touched snow...and that could be an issue when writing chapters like this...
Please leave a review since they make me very very happy.
One word hint for the next chapter: Train ;)
