Author's Note:
Come, play a game of Snowballs with me!

Draco stalked through the halls, his irritation growing as he heard the snickers behind him, looking for Potter. The annoying Gryffindor was going to pay for that snowball. He caught a flash of red and gold out of the corner of his eye, and whirled, conjuring and throwing the snowball in one swift motion. One of the first-year Slytherins had introduced him and the rest of the house to the concept of this game.

The object was to cause as much havoc to your opponent as possible, while remaining untouched yourself. The game had soon spread to the other houses, and it was being played in the hallways.

Draco's eyes widened as Snape came around the corner just in time to catch the snowball full in the face. In the full view of the horrified, and terrified, student body, Snape sprouted a long, bright green braid of hair, and his robes became a vivid color to match, with silver polkadots. He glared at Draco, and most of the rest of the students fled as he pulled out his wand....

Draco fumed in silence in his dorm. He refused to come out until the snow melted, and this ridiculous game of snowballs ended. He looked down at himself again, and growled. Snape was apparently a master at this as well. He tried to cross his arms, but found they wouldn't even meet.

He stood, stomping across the bedspread, and looked in the mirror one of his dorm-mates had propped up on a chair, a cruel reminder. A pale-furred teddy bear stared back at him, and he growled again. This went beyond mean. This was downright sadistic. And it'd be several days before he could return to normal.

He began to plan how'd he'd get back at Potter and company for causing this humiliation.

***

Harry looked in the mirror, watching the dancing... snakes, with jingle bells tied to them, as they took up what seemed to be permanent residence in his hair. Everytime he moved, the bells tinkled. Not the best idea when you'd planned to sneak out that night. Not that luminescent green skin was any better... Malfoy had a nasty sense of humor.

Ron was sitting on the bed behind Harry, Hermione across from him, the two still chuckling over what Snape had done to Draco when he got in the crossfire.

"He made a very nice teddy bear." Hermione smiled over at Harry, who shrugged, deciding to leave the snakes alone for now. They'd eventually fade away.

***

Snape glared at his reflection in the mirror a moment before pulling out his wand, and getting rid of the annoyance. He'd played this game before, when he was a student at Hogwarts. And been a dismal player. A sardonic smile graced the Potions Master's lips as he changed into clean set of robes, and threw the silver and green ones into the hamper of things to be burnt. He'd have to remember to take the curse off Malfoy tomorrow, sometime... maybe. The robes were one thing, but the green hair? No, two days as a child's play thing should suffice....

Hee.... Anyone else want to play a game of Snowballs? Anything goes in the game, except killing your opponent... The game can be played on the review thread for this fic.... Have fun!
