RATING: PG at most, I should think
STATUS: Complete

After showing Mercy around, she'd had a little bit of a run in with someone over the journals. But Tonks was nothing if not resilent, and she didn't let him hurt her feelings for long. Instead, she decided that exactly what she needed was some physical exercise. So she changed into some warmer clothing, swapping her normal t-shirt for a thick sweater, and then, she was off.

There were people there already, so Tonks picked a fort nearly at random and crouched behind it. The witch then spent quite a few moments simply packing snow into snowballs, but now she was ready. She had quite a pile to work with. Showing that she wasn't always clumsy, she clambered to the top of her chosen fort and cupped her hands around her mouth so her voice would project further. Of course, she could use magic, but that seemed like cheating somehow.

"Hey, guys! Let's get this going on!" As usual, her voice was full of good cheer and high spirits. And she immediately had to duck down as people from both sides flung snowballs at her. She had been a bit of an idiot, making herself such an easy target and then taunting everyone. Her uncharacteristic nimbleness went away very quickly under the rain of snowballs, and she half-fell half-slid back to her pile of snowballs. It was turning into a pretty fun fight, she thought. She was having a good time.

Astor woke up and looked over at the clock between her bed and Cody's empty one. "Whoa, I slept in way late!" she said, a huge grin spreading over her lips as she sat up and stretched, yawning. Her mother never let her sleep in that late, especially on a school day, which Astor felt like almost every day was.

She got out of bed and went to the window to look out and was only marginally disappointed when she still saw snow. But then, as she looked a little harder, she could see people in the distance throwing snowballs at one another and playing around near a couple of forts that looked like they, too, were made out of snow. So there were kids to play with!

After the fastest shower she thought she'd ever taken in her life, Astor got dressed and ran outside, panting as she went, excited to get to play. As she got closer, she slowed down and then finally stopped, frowning slightly. They weren't kids. They were grown ups. Astor's heart sank in disappointment. Grown ups didn't like kids around, if Dex and her Mom were anyone to go by. They always said that they were talking about adult things and she should go off and play with Cody for a while. So, she stood back for a moment and watched, a little jealous and wanting to join, but not sure she'd be allowed, since she was still just a kid.
