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.

When Snape appeared behind Tonks, he heard a few gasps of surprise from the assembled muggles. Despite a lifetime of living under the ban on exposing the wizard world to non-magic folk, Snape found he didn't care here on Mirage. If these poor souls ever returned to Earth, was anyone more likely to believe they had seen a wizard than that they had been abducted by a sentient planet? In truth, he found that their slack-jawed amazement at the commonest of magical effects was quite the boost for his ego.

Prepared as he was to assault a trained Auror, Snape should not have been surprised to find that Tonks was ready for him. Being robbed of the element of surprise, however, merely frustrated him even more. Spitting with rage, he lowered his wand, not actually wanting to start an earnest magical duel. Besides, he had thought of a better way to get revenge on the pesky witch. Putting his wand to his throat, he cast a spell to amplify his voice.

"Fine. You win this time, Nymphadora Tonks!"

With that, Snape apparated away from the witch, away from the snowball fight, and away from all easy lines of retaliation. He knew well from his time spent as her professor that the Auror hated her given name with an irrational passion. To announce it to the crowd was a true humiliation. Back at his dormitory, Snape chuckled to himself, pleased with his vengeance.
