Snow Day (Dad Van)

Thought I’d better post this whilst it’s still Winter! Just some cute headcanons about spending a snow day with Dad Van 💗

Dad Van Masterlist Main Masterlist

⛄️ It's a Sunday and you're looking forward to a cosy lie-in as it's been such a busy week.

⛄️ No chance of that unfortunately as Van's already woken up and looked out the window. "It's snowing love!" He announces loud enough to wake the dead.

⛄️ You haul yourself out of bed and wake up the kids who are predictably just as thrilled as their dad. It's the first time Leo's seen snow and he's babbling excitedly in wonderment at the thick blanket of snow outside the window.

⛄️ Van gets dressed in record time. "C'mon Gracie, get yer wellies on! We're gonna build the biggest snowman ever!"

⛄️ "Actually Daddy, we're going to build a snow lady!" Grace announces, then she's looking at Van aghast as he pulls on his jacket and heads for the door.

⛄️ "You can't go out like that! Mummy always makes sure I have my scarf and hat and gloves on when it's cold!" You stifle a laugh as she sets about wrapping Van up in a big cosy knitted scarf and one of your woolly hats with a giant pom-pom on the top.

⛄️ Van grumbles but he lets her do it. "Oh, very cute!" You laugh, taking a quick photo on your phone before he can protest.

⛄️ Leo's only just taking his first tentative steps so you and Van hold a hand each whilst he toddles around the garden.

⛄️ It's not long before you feel a shock of something cold, icy and wet slithering down under the collar of your coat and you let out a squeal. "Got you!" Grace giggles.

⛄️ Van takes a snowball square on in the face and you can't stop laughing at his shocked expression. Your daughter has a surprisingly strong throw for saying how small she is.

⛄️ Van declares war. "Right young lady, you've done it now! You just wait!" He scoops up a massive handful of snow and flings it in Grace's direction, purposefully missing her by a small margin.

⛄️ Grace shows no mercy and absolutely pummels Van with snowballs in return. You can't resist joining in and you're laughing so much you have tears running down your cheeks and Leo's giggling away too.

⛄️ "How can this be fair? Two against one? Go easy on me girls!"

⛄️ Van throws himself down on to the floor, absolutely covered head to foot in snow, feigning a dramatic defeat, his eyes falling shut.

⛄️ "Mummy we did it! We killed the snow monster!"

⛄️ You and Grace tiptoe over whilst he's lying there and as soon as you get close enough he suddenly grasps hold of both of you, pulling you down into the snow with him. "You're gonna get it now!" He roars.

⛄️ The next thing you know he's pinned you down in the snow and shoved a handful down the back of your top whilst you're squealing from the shock of the cold. You vow to get your revenge.

⛄️ Grace wants to make snow angels and Van's only too happy to oblige seeing as he's already covered in the stuff.

⛄️ Next stop's the park and snowman building. Van's very enthusiastic as of course he wants to build the biggest, most impressive one.

⛄️ A little boy and his parents next to you seem to be winning the competition and not to be outdone, Van's on the phone to Larry to enlist extra help.

⛄️ Larry arrives just ten minutes later carrying two sledges. The kids are beyond excited to see him. "Uncle Larry, you're the best!" Grace cheers, flinging herself into his arms for a hug.

⛄️ The kids start to lose interest in the building project pretty quickly but it doesn't matter, the lads have completely taken over anyway. The finished snowman is huge, putting the others in the park to shame. It towers over Larry.

⛄️ The boys are sniggering at their inappropriate positioning of the carrot and you have to hurriedly move it back up to the face before Grace notices. "It's supposed to be a snow lady remember?"

⛄️ Next it's time for sledging and you take the kids up to a gentle slope with one sledge whilst Van and Larry climb up to the steepest, most treacherous looking hill with the other.

⛄️ Leo's having a whale of a time but it's not long before Grace starts complaining. "Mummy this is boring... this hill's for babies! I wanna go with Daddy and Uncle Larry... please!"

⛄️ You're terrified but give in eventually to your daughter's reckless thrill-seeking nature that she's inherited from her dad.

⛄️ "Faster! I wanna go faster!" Grace shrieks whilst you can barely watch, hiding behind your hands.

⛄️ Miraculously there's no injuries or broken bones but after a while everyone's starting to feel the cold. Your fingers and toes are tingling.

⛄️ "Time to go home Van," you call. "My hands are so cold they're going numb!"

⛄️ When he runs over you show him exactly how cold they are by shoving them up the front of his jumper, making him yelp. "Told you I'd get you back!"

⛄️ "That sounds like fighting talk!" He chuckles and then you're screaming as he's sliding his icy fingers under your clothing too whilst you're trying to wriggle out of his arms.

⛄️ "I don't know what you're complaining about," he teases. "My hands are lovely and warm!"

⛄️ The clouds are heavy with snow and flakes start falling again, thick and fast, so you say goodbye to Larry and begin to trudge home.

⛄️ Leo's up on Van's shoulders trying to catch snowflakes on his tongue like his dad's shown him how to.

⛄️ When you arrive home you all pile into the house but you pull Van back on to the doorstep so you can admire the wintery landscape with him. There's something just so magical about fresh snowfall.

⛄️ You wrap your arms around his waist and snuggle into his side. "It's so beautiful isn't it?"

⛄️ "Hmm... yeah it is... just like you babe," he murmurs, and then he's turning to pull you closer to his body. "Have I told you how much I love you lately?"

⛄️ "Not for about five minutes!"

⛄️ His long lashes are still frosted with snowflakes and the tip of his nose is pink from the cold. He looks so cute you can't resist leaning in for a kiss as you snuggle into the warmth of his arms.

⛄️ "Errr Mummy and Daddy are kissing Leo, don't look! Yuck, grown-ups are so gross!"

⛄️ You pull away quickly to see Grace covering up her baby brother's eyes with a look of distaste on her face. You and Van dissolve into fits of laughter at her dramatic reaction.

⛄️ "Come on, let's all get warmed up."

⛄️ Everyone changes out of their cold, soggy clothing. You steal one of Van's hoodies to wear as they're so warm and cosy.

⛄️ There's steaming hot mugs of tea for you and Van, hot chocolate for Grace topped with marshmallows, and a beaker of warm milk for Leo.

⛄️ You all snuggle up on the rug in front of the fire, warming up your frosty fingers, a perfect end to a perfect day.

Prompt: Remus with Sirius and Lily with James enter a snow man competition (who makes the biggest snow man) and they get hella competitive and maybe Sirius attacked them with snow balls.

Tysm @panda.malfoy_93 for hosting, hope you like it:)

"MOONY WE HAVE TO BEAT THAT LITTLE-" Sirius huffed as he stomped towards the muggle park shivering in the snow.

"Padfoot! Slow down, why are you so worked up?" Remus ran after him as Sirius came to a stop.

"WE ALWAYS TEAM UP, JAMES AND I, BUT NOW THAT HE'S FINALLY WHOO'ED EVANS HE THINKS HE CAN DITCH ME" Sirius' face was now red, but Remus thought he looked absolutely adorable.

"He loves her, let them spend some time together. Plus, you and I can team up!" Remus said, as he put his own scarf around Sirius, gently kissing his nose after.

"I love him too you know, we're brothers, him and I" Sirius said, his voice muffled as he snuggled into Remus' neck.

"Try not to let that get in the way of James' happiness will you pads?" Remus said lifting up Sirius' face.

"What will I get out of that?" Sirius looked deep into Remus' eyes, a smirk playing on his lips.

"A happy brother, and a happier boyfriend"

"So?"

"Haven't you learned anything padfoot, a happy boyfriend is equal to sweet kisses" Remus replied, kissing Sirius all over his face.

*later*

"Welcome to the thirty sixth annual snowman building competition. As usual, the rules are simple, the biggest snowman wins, whereas accessories get you absolutely no where! Unless there are any further questions, you may begin!" Said the announcer.

"FASTER MOONPIE, WE HAVE TO BEAT THAT TRAITOR!" Sirius screamed as he collected a heap of snow from everywhere around them.

"Jesus Sirius, relax a little." Remus rolled his eyes but hurried up a little nonetheless.

*meanwhile*

"What's up with Mr. I pretend to be punk rock over there?" Lily asked as she collected snow.

"Ah, it's no big deal but uhh, we take part every year and team up together so he's sorta mad at me-" James said blushing furiously. He had begged Lily to be his partner and told her no one else would go with him...

"YOU WHAT?! JAMES FLEAMONT POTTER ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY MENTAL?!" Lily dropped the bucket of snow she was carrying.

"Oh don't worry it won't be that bad!" James said weakly.

"JAMIE I WILL NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT"

"Lils, ok the truth is, i love you but. Remus wanted to team up with padfoot this year so I decided to help a friend out-"

"I admire that but WHY SERVE MY HEAD ON A PLATTER-"

BAM!

Lily turned her head and glared at Sirius.

"YOU! YOU JUST DECLARED WAR!"

Thump! Another and another.

"CATCH ME IF YOU CAN GRANNY" Sirius laughed as he threw one at James.

The two made eye contact and smiled.

Sirius was hit by rows and rows of snowballs but then Remus joined in aiming for their heads every time.

The gang laughed till they cried and played in the snow till the sun went down. The matter of betrayal was forgotten and all was right in the world.
