F/f = favorite flower

It's been two weeks since the first task and everyone is dying to know what the next one is. Harry still hasn't a clue on how to solve the tricky puzzle of the horrid Golden egg. Fall is slowly fading into winter and the temperatures have been dropping like crazy. I've been doing really well lately,  no throwing up, headaches or any other of the regular symptoms. Today was Saturday which meant it was the first Hogsmeade trip of the year. Which meant it was also my date with Oliver. I have to admit that I was really excited. Ollie has been really sweet, waiting for me outside my classrooms and saving a spot for me at lunch when the twins are who knows where.

Right now it's lunch and I'm sitting with my two favorite gingers. I was just finishing my sandwich when I saw something outside. No- it couldn't be!! "Fred!!!" I yell jumping up from my seat. "What!? What's wrong!?" He panics, his eyes looking at me in concern. About everyone in the hall is staring now and I can feel over a hundred eyes on me. But I don't care because IT'S SNOWING!! "Look outside!" I say, jumping up and down.

"Oh- it's snowing." Fred says lamely. Everyone in the hall gasps, pointing at the windows in awe. Of course we've all seen snow, but the first snow of the year is always special.

I run out of the hall, not bothering to grab my books, and burst through the giant doors and into the courtyard. I feel Fred come up behind me, as well as everyone else. I look up at the flurry of white and close my eyes. I feel small specks landing on my face and melting into slush. It feels so right. I sigh and run into the center of the courtyard. People are already making snowmen and having snowball fights. I drop to the ground and start gathering snow in my hand. "Want to build a snow sculpture?" I ask Fred. "You seriously want to skip the end of lunch, where you can eat, so you can make sculpture out of a substance that will melt due to time?" He asks me. "Yes." I say. "Well then I guess I have no other option then to...JOIN YOU!!" He yells, while picking up handfuls of snow and adding them to mine. " What should we build?" I ask him. "How bout a Bowtruckle,  I know you love those." He says. "Yeah!" I beam at him.

I watch him as he continues with the sculpture, his hair all messy with bits of snow in it, his jacket already wet. He's so handsome.

"Hey, you gonna help or keep staring at me all day!?" He smirks. I turn beet red and I grab some more snowing, adding it onto the pile. He laughs and finishes one leg and starts working on another. "Hey guys, care if we join you?" A familiar voice asks. We both turn around to see Ron, Harry, Hermione and Ginny standing there. Fred asks to borrow Lee's muggle camera. "Okay guys, say cheese!" Lee says as we pose by our masterpiece
. "Huh?" I hear Ron wonder from beside me. "It's a muggle thing" I whisper and Lee takes the picture. We say goodbye to our Snow-truckle
and head back inside to warm up with coco in the Gryffindor common room.

"Okay students! Girls on one side boys on the other!" Proffesor McGonagall says as she stands in the middle of the room. Me and Fred part and I join Ginny, Hermione and Lavender on the other side. "As you know, with the Triwizard Tournament comes the Yule Ball. I know inside every girl is a graceful swan and inside every boy is a caring lion. Ronald! If you wouldn't mind, come and be my partner for an example." She says. Ron walks up to her, not very happy with the outcome. After putting his hands on 'yes, her waist' , Fred , George and Harry all Start making fun of them waltzing around the room.

"The house of Godric Gryffindor has commanded the respect of The Wizarding World for nearly ten centuries. I will not have you, in the course of a single evening,  besmirching that name by behaving like a babbling,  bumbling band of baboons!" McGonagall exclaims, making everyone one go quiet. Except for the twins of course,  who were trying to say 'babbling,  bumbling band of baboons ' five times fast.
