WHEN: Day 29, afternoon
WHERE: The snow forts
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.

Well, that had been just about the weirdest thing she'd ever had happen to her. And not being grabbed by the Planet either. To say that Snape had creeped her out would be an understatement. She wasn't the sort of person who creeped out easily, either, but he'd just known too much about her.

After her disturbing meeting with him, she needed some way to relax and let off some steam. So she wandered around the grounds, having found her room without too much trouble. There was an odd sense of deja vu about this place, but she wasn't going to think about it.

The giggling and shouting of the snowball fight was loud, easily audible from very far away. As she got closer, she saw a kid standing alone. It made her feel strange somehow to see the longing, sad look on her face as she watched to fun. Quickly, she leaned down and scooped up a handful of snow, tossing it lightly at the girl with a laugh.

"Hey, kid! Think fast! Come on, let's go do this!" She spoke to Astor, and then took off toward one of the forts. She dodged snowballs all the way, laughing and realizing that she was actually having fun. It was strange, but true.
