Let it (not) Snow

A short sequel to this prompt from December, inspired by the current weather.

"It's April," Tsunade stated, her hazel eyes narrowed with impatience and irritation.

Unlike the persistent chill in the office, being the sole focus of the Hokage's dangerous mood made Harry shiver. Harry nodded even though he didn't want to and said, "It is."

"A spring month when the weather gets comfortable," Tsunade said. “Not too warm or cold or wet. A good month to be outdoors. Don't you agree?”

Harry nodded cautiously. "Yes?"

Tsunade leaned forward, a dangerous gleam in her eyes. "Then, why are we having snow in April?"

"The weather can be unpredictable..."

Tsunade scoffed. "Shikaku told me about your tree decorating in December!"

"That was a joke to mess with him," Harry protested.

"Konoha has never had snow like this before," Tsunade said, the accusation clear in her voice.

"Do you really think that I've manipulated the weather?" Harry asked with disbelief.

"I don't know. But I want it fixed," Tsunade warned him as she sipped on her steaming cup of tea.

"I can't believe you told the Hokage that I'm the reason behind this weather," Harry said as he bit down on the daifuku he'd gotten. 

Shikaku glanced at him with a pointed look.

"You're just mad you have to keep buying me food," Harry said with a shake of his head.

"Since it's founding, Konoha has never had snow in April," Shikaku said.

"How can you possibly know that?"

"Because we keep records," Shikaku said. "The only anomaly this year was your... call for snow. You need to do something to send the snow away."

"There's no such thing," Harry grumbled in between bites.

"Are you sure?" Shikaku tightened the brown scarf around his neck and glared at the fluffy white snowflakes that fell from the sky. "Maybe there's a call for spring that you need to do."

Harry frowned in consideration as some snow landed on his daifuku. "After the December celebrations, it should be..." Harry paused.

"What?" Shikaku asked with open desperation.

"I don't actually know the dates," Harry admitted. “I think it's something that's celebrated in March.”

"No one cares about correct dates, just call for spring and get rid of this miserable cold weather. Do you need to make something for the tree?"

Harry shook his head. "There's something about painting eggs and then hiding them all around for people to find... and then chocolate? Or a rabbit? A chocolate rabbit?" Harry shrugged. "I think the painted eggs are the most important bit."

A gust of freezing wind filled with icy snowflakes smacked at their exposed skin.

Shikaku sighed. "How many eggs do we need to paint?"

Shikaku, I understand your desperate need to make the cold stop, but an egg-hunt is not the answer!

The weather has been so un-April this year! Snow! Cold! And more snow! Ugh, where's the nice mild sunshine I'm supposed to be enjoying?
