1st December 1971

Warning- It's a long chapter

It was almost as if the castle had changed overnight.

Whereas yesterday it was gloomy and dark,today was full of Christmas decorations and people looking overly glad of the slight change.
Snow was falling outside.

The Gryffindor 1st years were in Transfiguration.

Professor McGonagall was sorting out the aftermath of a prank from the Prewett twins.

"SNOWBALL FIGHT AT LUNCH!"Sirius yelled."DECIDE WHO YOUR PARTNER IS.I CALL DIBS ON JAMES."

The class which had previously been talking in hushed whispers,started to whoop.

"Peter and Remus!"

"Lucia and Marlene!"

"Aanya and Hestia!"

"Lily and Mary!"

Sirius finished noting the pairs down,as McGonagall walked through the door.

"Sorry for the long wait,class.We'll start the lesson now,"



After a boring lesson of Transfiguration,the Gryffindor 1st years made their way to the grass,where flying classes were held.

"You have 20 minutes to come up with a plan,traps,ideas."James said."Then we fight!"

"Hold on,"Remus said."Take everyone's wand and put them somewhere safe.If people have wands,they can have an advantage."

"Can we put a warming charm on,at least?"Peter asked.

"No,"Sirius said firmly.

"Give me your wand,Lucia,"

Lucia glared at him.
That had been her plan.
To use magic.

"I'll get you for that,Lupin,"Lucia hissed,the twinkle in her grey eyes gone,as she reluctantly handed her wand to him."Trust me.Ill get you back for that."

Remus swallowed.The girl could be terrifying, sometimes.



Aanya and Hestia ran off,while Marlene and Lucia ran after them.

"Aanya,wait,"Marlene yelled.

Aanya paused."Should we wait?"she asked Hestia.

"Yeah,Let's see if they want to say something."The brunette answered."Besides we'll still have 15 minutes."

"We want to make a proposition,"Marlene said.

"What proposition?"Aanya asked.

"We work together,"Lucia said.

"Why would we?"Hestia said.

Marlene's and Hestia's eyes widened,as Lucia pulled out her spare wand.

Aanya grinned,as she pulled out her own spare wand.

"You were supposed hand them in!"Hestia scolded.

"Whoops,"both Purebloods said in unison.

"So do you accept?"Lucia asked.

"Do we have any other choice?"Hestia muttered.

"You can switch with me?"Lucia suggested.

"Nah,I'll pass thanks."

"Stand back,"

"Arce Nivis,"Lucia muttered,so low that nobody could hear her.

A huge snow castle sprung up.
