WHO: Tonks and Illyana, Marcus, Astor, Faith, Mercy, Violet, Snape, Sam, Andy (posting order)
WHAT: Snowball fight!
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.

It was odd, but Tonks apparently wasn't clumsy all the time. In times of danger, even 'danger' like a snowball fight, she was quite agile, actually. Of course, it was a good thing, because if she hadn't been she would have died ages ago. She was in a dangerous profession, after all. It wouldn't do for her to be tripping over herself all the time.

However, something of that Auror training took over as Snape Apparated. Probably it would leave the girls who had been targetting him quite baffled, but she knew immediately what he had done. And she wasn't impressed, either. This was a snowball fight, not a duel. But she wasn't going to just sit there and let him do whatever nasty thing he had planned.

Mostly dodging the snowballs flung and shot her way, she turned around. Her eyes were narrowed, focusing only on where the dark-haired wizard could have gone. Sure enough, he appeared behind her. Her wand came out, clutched loosely at her side, just in case. "Relax, Severus." She spoke in what she hoped was a soothing tone. He was clealry annoyed, and she was trying to tone it down a bit. This was, after all, supposed to be fun.
