Barny could only carry so many letters at once. Once he had another batch around his leg, Barny hopped through the window, and flew down to the table, immediately spotting his next human recipient. And accidentally landed on said student's head. Barny quickly hopped off his head and onto the table, somehow causing the dessert spoon to fling off the table.

Don't mind Barny...

Okay, so Yoongi checking his reflection got a hearty laugh from Adi. "On second thought, I'd rather you cover up that face,'' he joked. "If someone looks at it too closely, they'd get nightmares.'' Don't take Adi to heart, Yoongi. Ali thinks you're quite a looker *wiggles brows*

"Thanks, Polly! I got a box of crackers for you in the dorm,'' he joked. Polly and cracker jokes never got old to him. Hehe. "Yes, I did. I wonder who I got as my Santa.'' The poor soul that got this over energetic Puffer... LOL "Did you take part too?''

Breaking away from conversing with Paulina, it was then that Brooklyn had brought Tywin along. He grinned at the ReindeerCat. Adi didn't really think that Tywin was wary of him as its owner was. Speaking of Brooklyn... "Going to decorate any tree?'' Just making light conversation here. Hehe.

"Penelope! Happy Christmas!'' Adi grinned at the girl who had helped him and Yoongi out with the whole spider incident at the Entrance Hall last term. "Hello, Merry Christmas, Professor Tanner!''
Barny held out his leg and waited for the human, whose envelope read 'Aditya' to pull free his letter.

SPOILER!!: Secret Santa Letter
Dear Aditya,

I'm not really great with all this positive, Hufflepuff-y stuff. Not that I'm a miserable grouch either, but this.....

Anyway, instead of going on and on, I'll leave you with this quote from a famous poet from a long time ago, Maya Angelou: Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.

Signed,

Your Secret Santa

His secret santa letter sent out to be delivered, the seventh year had dressed in comfy somewhat Christmassy clothes before coming downstairs.

The topping was the antlers that didn't look fake. The Gryffindor had chosen the more real looking approach, having had experience with the spell in question, not to mention dealing with them as a transfigured reindeer. "Happy Christmas!!" He greeted everyone before siding up to his bestie with the Saint Nick complex.

"Howdy boss..."
And THERE was his next one... right next to the previous one they call Aditya. Barny hobble walked over to the next one, clanging the cutlery around with his two left feet as he tried to transport himself. He held his leg out with an envelope marked 'Benjamin' waiting for it to be taken.

SPOILER!!: Secret Santa Letter
Dear Benjamin Artreyu,

You. Are. Beautiful. Inside and out. I want to tell you how much you are appreciated. Without you, this world would not be quite the same. If it weren't for you, I probably would not be awake right now (Because I'm Writing this letter). I wouldn't be as happy as I am now knowing that this letter might make your day brighter.Dear, admirable stranger - Do me a favor. Look around you. Look up. Look down. Look at yourself. Deep into yourself. Are you happy? Are you happy as you could be? Should be? What would make you happier, just what would make you smile? One hour ago, 5 minutes ago, until the VERY last second you opened this letter, you didn't know I existed. But now stranger, we will forever be connected in a sense of anonymity! We're friends! I want the best for you. I want you to live a remarkable, joyous life. I wish you only good things, and long-lasting health, and wisdom and sensibility. Because that is what a friend does for another. Stranger, friend, brand new acquaintance-

I CHALLENGE you:

To try something different each and every day of your life. To do what makes you happy. To live without regrets. To make new friends and meet different people! To breathe and feel at peace. To ACCEPT YOURSELF for who you are.

Life is already difficult. Why make it any harder?

I hope the best for you.
Your Secret Santa
