Her timing was rather good. He was standing up to throw his next snow ball when her's came flying at him, managing to hit him in the shoulder, making the aim of his next snwbally a bit off.
"We need to make plans you know"
He was ducking behind the bench again, speaking just loud enough so that she could hear him from the near by three.
"About when you want to come to London"

Sethia smiled, she had gotten him again. “I know we do,” she said the laughter in her voice. She peeked out from behind the tree, “How about the second week after school lets out?” she asked from her hiding place from which she could see Payton clearly. “I still have to get my aunt’s approval though. I’ll write her as soon as I get back to the dorm,” Sethia yelled back to him.
Sethia was excited by the prospect of spending time with Payton’s family, they sounded wonderful, and she was looking forward to seeing what big city life was like.

He litenend to her answer while his hands worked quickly to form antoher snowball, trying to wait until he thought she woud have her guard down before throwing it towards her.
"How long do you want to stay? My father would want you to stay from Christmas until New Years at least!"

Sethia peeked out, her hand crafting another snowball, “That sounds good. How about the second week of vacation till New Years, then I’ll come back to school. I can see if I can arrange for me to get a job from then till school starts back.”<br>
She saw a glimmer of red hair and fired her snowball high above Payton’s head; it should land on him, somewhere. She giggled, “Or do you think that’s too long for me to stay?” she asked.

He was just opening his mouth to respond when suddenly a snowball managed to find its wait straight to the top of his head.
"Perhaps I should just put the the white flag now!"
Still laughing he shook his head, sending clumps of snow flying everywhere before he started to try and form another snowball.
"And I'm sure thats not too long. Knowing my family the longer you stay, the happier they will be. And you definatly need to stay for New Years, I will have to take you out to the clubs that night"

Sethia peeked out at Payton, her snowball had found its target, “Okay…truce,” she said and slowly came out from behind the tree. She took very slow easy steps, in case Payton’s white flag was just a ploy to get her to come out.
“So you think they won’t mind? Great!” her face turned a little panicked when he told her he would take her to a muggle club, she had never been and definitely would have nothing to wear in one. “A club? Payton I’ll stand out like a sore thumb. I don’t know anything about clubs, what to wear or anything.” She snuck behind another tree, “I want to go but are you sure I would fit in?” she asked him. Sethia had always been a little insecure about her looks and having to go some place where people would definitely be looking at her, strangers, made her even more insecure. She knew she was no dynamic beauty and she was more than likely going to find herself surrounded by those who fit that description.

hearing her agree to his truce, he too slowly rose to his feet, though one of his hands remained hidded behind the bench, a snowball still pressed to his palm--just in case. He tried to keep his eye on her, but his mind kept drifting to what it would be like to go to a club with Sethia, though his attention was caught on trying to picure her in muggle clothing...well in the clothing muggles wore to clubs at least.
"You will look great. Besides, I do have two sisters who have been to a few clubs in their days. I'm sure they will jump at the chance to help you get ready"

Sethia watched Payton closely as he rose from his hiding spot behind the bench, “Do you really think so?” she asked as she came out from her hiding place timidly. She stepped towards him slowly, “What’s your house like? Where in London do you live? Tell me about it,” she said and slowly lowered herself onto a nearby bench, still wary should her try to get her with a snowball. “If your sisters help I am sure I will be all right,” she said with a small smile.

He was moving the snowball in his hand, thinking now that the snow suddenly seemed much colder than before. He kept his gaze on Sethia though, not wanting to let his guard, or his snowball, down just yet.
"Home? Well, its one floor, and rather chaotic, not to meantion corded, but I wouldn't trade it for anything."
He grinned brightly at her, watching her sit down, though he still kept the snowball by his side.
"The walls are very blue, and the furniture dosen't match either."

Sethia sat listening to Payton when she noticed the snowball in his hand, she stood, “You said a truce,” she said with a nervous laugh as she backed up. “Your home sounds nice, homey,” she said taking another step back. She gave Payton a “Don’t you dare throw that at me” look but her eyes were laughing.
Payton’s home did sound like a great place to spend her Christmas holidays, full of people to talk to and interact with. “I better go,” she said cautiously, “I do have a letter to get to,” she said her eyes on the snowball.

A look of fake innocence crossed his face as he held up his hand letting her see the snowball fall from his palm, and into his carefully positoned free hand hidden behind the bench he was standing behind. Then he walked after her, not about to let her get too far away from him. Besides, he hadn't actually called a truce, he simply said that he should...
"It is homey, as long as you are okay with the chaotic sense of it all. And I have to answer my father...but I can't do that with his letter in your pocket now can I..."

Sethia looked at Payton as he dropped the snowball, or so she thought at first, but she had not seen it hit the ground and she felt he still had it, in his other hand perhaps. “I can get over that,” she said and took a few more steps backwards. “Yes you should answer him,” she pulled out the letter, “so you’ll be needing this then?” she waved it in front of him. “All right, I’ll give it to you, but how about you holding both of your hands up so I can see first. A girl can never be too careful where snowballs are involved,” she said smiling.
Sethia knew she had to give the letter back, she had never intended to keep it but it was fun to tease him. She would do as she had told him and as soon as she got back to the dorm she would write her aunt about the trip and she how she felt about it.

His forced expression of innocence quickly changed to a slyly troublemaking one as he started to lift both his hands, first his free one, and the the one that had the snowball. Once it was half way up, he quickly threw it right towards her hair--as her last snowball had hit him right on the top of his head.
"Consider it my version of a halo"

Sethia saw Payton’s snowball coming at her but there was nothing she could do, it hit her and covered her blonde hair in soft white snow. Sethia looked at Payton in shock and shook the snow from her hair. “Okay then, thank you, I’ll just keep this a while longer,” she said and stuffed the letter back in her pocket and took off running towards the far side of he courtyard.

Not about to let her get away that easy, he started after her, luckily he was standing close enough so she didn't get too far away from him.
"Now thats not fair! Now am I supose to write Pop's back and tell him that you are a She if I can't have my letter!"
He was laughing as he tried to speed up, and reached out to grab her arm, or course it was a bit more of a reach than he had origionally thought, and he lost his balance and fell down to the newly fallen snow, taking her with him, as he did--his laughing never fading for a single moment.

Sethia laughed and turned to find Payton following her, she tried to get away, to run faster and make her escape, but she was not so lucky. “Well that last snowball you hit me with was not exactly fair, now was it?” she said laughing. She was about to take a turn around the fountain when she felt Payton grab hold of her and a tug downwards, “Ah!” she screamed as she began to fall with Payton, though her scream was a laugh.
Sethia felt the snow beneath and the impact of both her and Payton hitting the ground sent a show of soft snow into the air landing on them. She rolled over on her back laughing and holding her stomach, watching the snow as it fell on her.

He too rolled onto his back, laughing as he slipped an arm behind his head to cushion it, takign a deep breath to try and gain control of his laughter. It had been so long since he had just gone out when it was snowing for the sake of having a good time.
"Wow, I haven't had fun like this in a long time."
He was grinning when he turned his head to look over at her, still amazed at how their relationship had developed. While he had only started talking ot her a short time ago, it seemed as if they had know eachter for much longer.

Sethia was still laughing, “Oh, oww!” she said, her sides starting to hurt from laughing but she couldn’t stop. She ran her hand over her blonde hair then she grabbed a handful of snow from behind her head. “Me either,” Sethia said and turned over on her stomach, her laughing had lessened now. He looked at her and she gave him a smile, she owed him however. It was incredible how they got along, like they were life long friends when they had not even been talking for a month.
She took the handful of snow and rubbed it in his hair, “Now that’s for the snowball,” she said laughing, but she didn’t try to go anywhere this time.

He laughed, trying to brush away all the snow she had just rubbed into his red hair.
"I thought we had a truce!"
Even if he was the one who origionally broke the truce....he then used both is hands to send a spray of white heading in her direction--knowing full well it might reignite full out war.

Sethia laughed at Payton as he brushed snow out of his red hair, “I thought we had one too, but I am not the one who broke it.” he flung some snow at her, “Ok mister that means war!” she cried and tried to put snow down his shirt while tossing some at his head again. Sethia was laughing of course and she knew this was a fresh start to a snowball fight that was supposed to be ended.
