*That same day*

Ivory's POV:

I walked through the castle. I wondered if I should go meet Draco in his dormitory like he told me this morning. As I made my way to the Gryffindor common room, people wearing scarves and gloves hurried outside. I stopped and looked outside for a while.

My body tensed as I felt someone grab my arm. I gasped, but before I could react, a hand quickly covered my mouth. My heart raced, and for a brief moment, I thought it was Draco. But when I turned around, that wasn't the case. Fred and George Weasley stood in front of me with huge smiles on their faces.

"Ivory! Are you up for some fun?", they asked in unison.

"God boys, you scared me!", I exclaimed, still trying to catch my breath.

"Are we really that terrifying? I mean, if you look at George, we know the answer.", Fred joked, glancing over at his twin.

"Fred, we're identical.", George replied, nudging him with his shoulder.

"Stop the chattering boys.", I said firmly. The two of them immediately fell silent. "Uhm... well anyway, sure! I am up for something fun." I decided to play along, joining in on the mischief they seemed to have planned.

The twins led me outside, and a big smile spread across my face as I saw that it was snowing. I adore snow, winter is probably my favorite season of all. I stood there for a moment, slightly amazed at how much snow had fallen in such a short time. But before I could fully enjoy the scene, the twins suddenly hit me in the face with snowballs.

"Hahaha got you!", they laughed.

I wiped the snow off my face and put on my gloves. I bent down to form a snowball. Once I was ready, I aimed it at them and threw it. The snowball hit George square in the chest, and I immediately felt the thrill of competition take over.

"You're gonna pay for that!", George shouted, quickly scooping up more snow.

We had a major snowball fight and soon everyone joined in. I had a lot of fun and forgot about everything for a moment. There was even a small crowd hyping me and the twins up. Draco also went out with two of his friends to bully a student. I threw a snowball in their direction. He saw it coming from me and smiled at me.

My gloves were soaked from the melting snow, yet I didn't hesitate once to go back inside. It was just way too entertaining. My clumsy self slipped and fell face first in the snow. Laughter erupted around me, and I couldn't help but laugh at myself, too. It felt like my eyelashes froze off, it was so cold! Since I was already laying there, I decided to make a snow angel. George decided to join me. We both looked at each other and burst out laughing again. Of course, mine looked way better than his.

After a while, I felt my lips start to turn blue from the cold

After a while, I felt my lips start to turn blue from the cold. Ron and Harry, noticing, quickly took me to the Great Hall so I could warm up. The twins, not wanting to give up so easily, threw one last snowball at me, but I dodged it with ease, grinning as I looked back at them.
