He seemed far to friendly and nurturing to be a snake - unless she wasn't seeing his true colors.

"I've...never received a Christmas present before, um, I mean, not from anyone at Hogwarts." And especially not from a boy. Her cheeks were now the color of rip peaches, and she pressed her fingers to her lips. Had she really just kissed him on the cheek? He didn't seem to mind, so that was good. Still, she wondered what was going through his head. How he was thinking about the gesture. She was almost too afraid to ask. In her own awkwardness, she missed the fifth year's. Just as well, it only would have made her more awkward than she already was.

"Mother taught me how to knit last year, so I am still new at this," she said, already putting a disclaimer on what she was about to give him. Slowly, she pulled a green teddy bear out of her bag and handed it to him. "I-I thought that with your OWLs coming up this term, that he could be a sort of good luck charm." Hence the four leaf clover on his tummy. In fact, she had performed some runic magic on the bear the other day to help whoever held him focus better. Perfect study companion, right?
