Re: Playful Interlude

"Aye aye Fraulein," Alys intoned, still keeping low and being a wonderful target for the blond boy. Never mind, let him think she was rubbish at aiming (and he wouldn't be far off the mark if he did) but Alys was not ducking scared, she was following Ava's strategy and as the Risiko witch made Tarragon lose his balance, the blonde rushed his supply, letting out a laughing yell as she attempted to gather all the snowballs in her cloak. Taking one, she flung it at Tarragons and due to the combination of close range and luck, the snowball hit him on the knee.

"Come on, ladies, lets show him what happens when you mess with us?" she giggled, her eyes shining with mirth and excitement. "Let's make him regret he ever started this."

Sadly her inspirational words were cut off by Tarragon not only running straight at her but hoisting her over his shoulder in one swift movement. One moment, the world was right way up and the next, she was screaming and squealing as he ran with her on his shoulder like she was a sack of turnips. "Help, witch down!" she shouted to Ava before laughing and correcting herself "Actually, witch being dragged away!"

Avangeline wondered if Tarragon enjoyed underestimating her, or the fact the person he kidnapped was in his own house and therefore, pain wasn't a problem for her. "Alys, put your head against his shoulder!" Ava knew his snow covered shoulder would be cold, but it was better than getting a facefull of snow if one of her attacks missed.

Throwing more snowballs at the coward wizard, Ava chased after him, easily moving through the snow without falter, finally used to the loose fabric of her Durmstrang cloak and furs. Catching up to Tarragon, who was slowed with having to carry an extra person, she stole Alys off his shoulder. Putting her friend on the ground gently before attacking Tarragon, she pinned him down and rubbed soft snow in his face.

"Hah! Gotcha!" She exclaimed happily, hoping she hadn't hurt Tarragon, there was enough snow on the ground where he fell, and she made sure not to grab ice to pile on his face. She only felt a little guilty though, the wizard had taken a member of his own house hostage!

Letting up the pressure on Tarragon, "You have two minutes to regroup before we start again!" Ava allowed not wanting the battle to end so quickly.

"Alys, put your head against his shoulder!"

The witch obeyed instinctively and just in time to avoid a flurry of snowballs from Ava, all of which found their mark on various parts of Tarragon's back. And before the hostage situation could start, it was over with Ava having amazingly tackled the bigger boy to the ground and released her.

"Ava, I do believe you're my hero!" she laughed in a dead impression of Tarragon's high class Austrian speech as the furious witch was rubbing snow all over the boy's face. Alys joined in, proceeding to pelt him with flurry bits of snow until the Risiko student called for a regroup.

"And this time, no tricks!" she warned.

Tarragon wiped the snow off his face with a smile and sat back up. He'd evidently picked the wrong option, but he didn't care. Although he was surprised at Ava's ability to take him out so easily.

"Can we at least make the teams even? Muhe vs the rest of the school houses!" He smiled cheekily, before falling back into the snow panting. His ribs still ached from the encounter on the roof, and the cold air had gotten to his chest a little more than he would have liked.

"Besides, I can only take on three of you for so long before you exhaust me. And if you want your snow wizard finishing, I don't think that would be wise!"

For as much as she's been around snow in her life, Zara thought that she would be used to the cold that came with it. But, that didn't stop it from creeping into her thick furs and sending a shiver down her spine when ever she was near anything outdoors. She supposed it had something to do with her being a vegitarian, having overheard her doctor telling her Papa about a lack of protein in her diet.

A gust of wind sent another shiver through her body and she pulled her knit cap further over her ears, stuck her gloved hands in her pocket, put her head down, and started walking as fast as she could to get back into the warm building. Happy shouts and laughter filled the air of the courtyard and she looked up to find a group of friends together. One of the girls had just tackled the boy with snow and they were moving away, collecting more of the white stuff in their hands. A snow fight. Zara smiled remembering the last one she had with her muggle friends back home.

A blonde girl got up from the snow, brushing herself off. The girl looked familiar so Zara started walking towards the group, forgetting her want for warmth. She got a better at the girls face and started running towards the group.

"Alys, " she yelled, waving.

[Guest]

Hearing her name, the witch looked up only to see an extremely welcoming sight. "Zara!" she squealed, running to the newcomer and catching her halfway in a hug. Zara wasn't one to usually venture out in the snow but now that she was here, Alys knew the game would be even more fun..

Turning to the rest of her friends, she said "everyone, this is Zara. Zara, this is Ava of Risiko house, the first friend I ever made here, Tarragon, the awesome flyer and Annika from the house of intellect."

To the only boy in the group, she said "No way, you can't make me side against my girls! I would just sabotage our team. Face it, its just you against all of us!" The witch grinned beatifically at the boy, letting him know he was so in trouble.
