Yeah! Here's the new chapter!
________________________________________________________________________________________
With the arrival of winter, snow also comes, which always brings joy to everyone, as it is a lot of fun to play in it, making snowmen, making little angels on the ground, and the best of all... Making a snowball fight!
"Hey Anthony!" I yelled, causing the naive raven to look at me, only to get two little snowballs in the face, one mine and one Terry's.
"Arg! That's not fair! Two against one doesn't count!" he exclaimed, cleaning the snow off your face.
"Hah, the world isn't fair, Anthony. So then? Are you going to cry?" Terry proclaimed, looking triumphantly at Anthony.
"You know...I think he's right," I said, making another snowball.
"Wha--!" Terry turned to me, only to receive the same treatment as Anthony.
"Hahaha, truth... The world is unfair" Anthony chuckled, looking at Terry, who fell to the ground with his face covered in snow.
"I... I was betrayed..." Terry said with a defeated look.
"Drama queen" I huffed, and then my senses warned me of a back attack, but I didn't feel any malice.
I then took a step to the side, dodging the attack, and turned to face the attacker, or more specifically, the attackers.
"Damnit Gred, I told you a sneak attack wouldn't work," George, who had his arm outstretched, said.
"Couldn't hurt to try my dear brother" Fred, who was crumpling a snowball in his hand, said.
"Hoh, so you two were the sneaky attackers?" I said, bending down and picking up some snow.
"It's just that we saw you guys were in a snowball fight, but you still hadn't been hit, and that's not going to be allowed here" Fred proclaimed, and I saw his gaze stray behind me before turning back to the my face. But I noticed the barely perceptible smile on the two redheads' faces.
"Eh, and what are you guys going to do about it?" I asked defiantly.
"What are we going to do?" George asked seriously. He then cracked a big smirk, "We're going to do this… NOW!" he screamed.
As soon as he screamed, he and Fred threw their snowballs at me, and my senses warned me of two…no, three attacks coming from my back.
'A distraction? Smart…' I thought, smiling wildly.
Sensing that the closest attack was coming from my back, with the first being on the left, followed by the attack to the right, I ducked, letting her go over me, before jumping to the side, dodging the right bubble and also the snowball from Fred. The last two snowballs, I just leaned to the side, and took a step back, causing them to miss me.
And by the time it took me to dodge, Terry, Anthony, the twins, and the mysterious attacker I turned out to be Lee had already made more snowballs. And without giving me time to think, they started the bombing.
I kept dodging all the snowballs they threw at me, sometimes even catching them midway and giving them back.
But as soon as I was dodging the penultimate snowball, I stepped on a part of the ground that was frozen, making me slip, preventing me from dodging the last snowball, which hit me in the back of the head.
'Damn ice' I cursed, landing on my butt on the snowy ground, where I was then mercilessly bombed.
So I was, there on the ground, covered with snow, while the boys laughed.
"Aha! Where's all that genius of yours now, Ethan?" Anthony asked me victoriously, but what he got in response from me was a dozen snowballs that hit him square in the face, knocking him over.
"Hahahahaha, here it's!" I said smiling, holstering my wand.
I then got up and went back to the war, prepared to pay the five of them back.
After a few matches, I sat on the floor, looking at Lee, who tried to hit Terry but missed and ended up hitting a passing fourth-year Slytherin.
'It's moments like this that make me forget there's a war coming' I thought, with a smile on my face, looking at the boys having fun.
"Stand up Ethan! Or are you already giving up?" Anthony, who saw me sitting down, scoffed.
"Hah" I chuckled, throwing my head back, "This war has just begun!" I said, getting up, already with a snowball in my hand.
"That's right, this war is just beginning!" Fred celebrated, but was greeted with a snowball thrown by George.
After that, the boys and I played until late afternoon, with other students joining us, creating a huge snowball battle at Hogwarts.
____________________________________________________________________
After we finished playing, we all quickly went upstairs to our common rooms to change clothes and warm up, obviously forgetting that there are spells that would help with this.
After I changed clothes, I went downstairs to the common room, and sitting in the armchair in front of the fireplace, warming myself with a mug of hot chocolate in hand, courtesy of the house elves, I began to read the letter my parents sent me this morning.
The letter was like the others, with them saying they missed me, asking how I was at school and about the magic, about my friends, talking about Cele's games at home, which made me immensely proud, and asking if I've already received my first detention, and if not, why is it taking so long. And me getting a detention is something that miraculously hasn't happened yet.
'I miss my family' I commented to myself after finishing reading the letter.
'What are they doing now?' I questioned myself.
_______________________________________________________________________
-Night's House-
"Look honey! Cele is levitating her dolls!" my father shouted excitedly from the living room.
"What's the fuss about? We've seen her do it several times already," my mom said from the kitchen.
"I know, but still, this is amazing!" My dad said, looking at a floating purple teddy bear.
"Okay fine… Just keep an eye on her and don't let her make too much of a mess!" my mother screamed.
"Oka-- Oh! Look! Now Cele is floating too!" my father exclaimed, seeing Cele flying upside down while laughing happily
But what my father didn't see was the wooden spoon that was thrown from the kitchen towards him.
*Pah!*
"Ow!"
______________________________________________________________________
'Probably Cele is kidding, and my mom is terrorizing my dad…' I concluded, not knowing that I was basically right about that statement. So I went back to relaxing in the armchair, enjoying the warmth that came from the fire's flames, which sometimes changed color, thanks to a spell cast by a fifth year.
After a while, my moment of relaxation was interrupted by the sound of the bell ringing, signaling that it was time for dinner.
I then saw Anthony come down from his room and wave his hand at me and Terry, who was doing a History of Magic essay at one of the many tables in the common room. After Terry packed up his materials, we prepared to head to the Great Hall.
But before we left, I cast a spell on the armchair I was in. This spell was a prank that would leave whoever sat in the armchair with clothes in Christmas colors, while also leaving the person with white hair.
I just put this spell on so that no one sits in the armchair, as I plan to make it my official resting place.
And obviously, because it's also fun to prank unsuspecting people, especially when they're the boring Ravenclaw scholars.

-Later in the common room-
"Hey Clarence, why did your hair turn white?"
"What?"
"Oh, your clothes have changed too!"
"What?!"
"Hey, isn't that Night's favorite armchair?"
"WHAT?!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Oh, now I know why your clothes have changed..."
End.

(End AN: Hello, the most beautiful and coolest Webnovel readers!
This one is a chapter of Slice of Life, as we all like to have a little time to relax, and Ethan and his friends are no different.
And as I was writing this chapter, I was saddened to realize that I never saw snow in my life, *Sounds of crying*.
But well, probably if it snowed here I would stay indoors under the blankets all day, sipping hot chocolate while watching a movie.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the chapter!)
