Notes: I had a snow day today (2/24/05), and couldn't resist
writing some snow drabbles
Snow Drabble 2
Remus aimed
a series snowballs at James. But James dove out of the way just in time and,
instead, grabbed Peter's scarf. He pulled the blond haired boy into the line of
fire and Remus' snowballs hit Peter. And, after using Peter as a shield, James
retaliated with snowballs, hitting Remus in the face. Remus doubled over with
laughter.
Sirius'
gaze traveled from his three friends to a group of Ravenclaw girls making a snowwitch and then over to a few Slytherins who were poking
at the ice on the lake to see if the Giant Squid would punch its way through to
the surface.
Shivering
from cold and jealousy, Sirius crossed his arms over his chest. He frowned as
his warm breath fogged up his dormitory room window. He took a step back, not quite
being able to see the other students so well now.
His chest
filled with air and he let it out with a shaky breath. His nose twitched, and
he reached into his pocket for a tissue or a handkerchief or something. He
found some lint but not much more. So he simply turned his head to the side and
sneezed freely. "hurChahhh! hehhChuhhh!"
"You really
should cover your mouth when you do that."
Sirius
looked back, glanced out the window to double-check, then looked back again.
"Thought you were outside id a sdowball
fight."
"I was," Remus
agreed, pulling his hat and gloves off. "But James and Peter practically ganged
up on me. The only thing I could do was retreat to lick my wounds."
"hehhhCHAH!"
"Or yours.
Padfoot, you sound awful. Has your cold somehow gotten worse since I left a
whole..." He checked his watch. "Forty-three minutes
ago?"
Sirius
shrugged, sniffled strongly, then gave another shaky
breath. This time when he started to sneeze, he raised his arm and buried his
nose in the crook of his elbow. "hhhhChmphh!" He sniffed again and lowered his arm,
looking at Remus for approval.
Remus
nodded and walked over to Sirius. He stripped off his gloves, scarf, and cloak
as he walked. "So, tell me, why aren't you in bed?"
Shrugging
again, he looked out the window. "I wadted
to watch the sdow."
Remus
wrapped his arms around Sirius from behind to keep him warm. He looked outside
at the falling snow. The flakes were large and soft, floating steadily but
landing beautifully on everything and everyone outside.
"Wish I
could be out id it with everybody else."
Remus
hugged Sirius more tightly. "No you don't. It's freezing cold and wet out
there. Much nicer in here where it's warm and the beds are
warm and snuggly."
"Sduggle with be?"
"Hmm," said
Remus thoughtfully. "Are you going to cover your nose when you feel a sneeze
coming on?" Sirius clapped a hand to his heart in a pledge. "All right," he
agreed. He pulled Sirius over to the bed, keeping the hangings tied up so they
could still watch the snow fall out the window.
