Jud grinned as he looked at the first-year Slytherin. "I don't know about this," the young boy mumbled.

"It'll be fun," Jud lightly encouraged. The ghost knew it wouldn't take that much to convince the student to go ahead with the plan.

"But throwing snow at older students? Isn't that asking for trouble?"

Jud would have smacked himself in the head if he was able to. Haunting a corridor that not many people, other than lost first years went to meant Jud didn't get a lot of fun. He had to wait for the wandering first years for it.

"I heard all about these students," Jud whispered conspiratorially. "They love snow, and they'll think it's all in good fun. Catch them when their having a private moment; it will be laughs all around. And I'm sure you'll have three brand new friends," Jud promised.

Internally, he rolled his eyes at the gullibility of scared first years when the young boy's eyes lit up at the idea of new friends. What person liked to be sneaked up on when they were kissing only to be pelted with a snow ball?

Jud, of course, had never meant these three—Harry, Hermione, Draco—but their odd relationship was the talk of the school. And Jud couldn't wait to hear about it when it got around that the three were attacked by a first year while inflagrante delicto.

The first year nodded. "All right. I'll do it."

And the next day, Jud heard it about it all right, but he didn't hear about it in the way he wanted to. He heard about it when he came face to face with the three targets.

Draco and Harry were glaring, while Hermione tapped her wand against her thigh. "We expect Peeves to make trouble, but you were a surprise."

"Hermione? Love? May I do the honors," Draco sweetly asked.

Jud gulped.

"Yes, Draco."

Harry smirked. "You should feel honored. We cooked up this spell to deal with Peeves, but you've been deemed worthy of it."

Draco pointed his wand at Jud. He heard the incantation, and his last thought before everything went crazy was, 'I should have never messed with these three.'
