Flying into the Great Hall Barney gave off a grumble in his throat. It was still snowing. It made letter delivering more difficult.

Oh MERLIN, this was AMAZING. KITCHENS! NOW HE COULD GET SNACKS AAAAAAAAAANYTIME HE WANTED.
While his stomach let out a small rumble, the Slytherin slithered -- AHAHAHA -- his way past people, looking this way and that. He wasn't looking for an apron, or even a recipe of any kind. Nooooooo! That would require WORK and he was in the mood to EAT. So, he was looking for a vic......... uh, person. Yeah, that's what he was looking for.
Phillip put on his most innocent smile as he made his way over towards an older looking girl who stood out amongst the others. Not surprised because her hair was making her the OPPOSITE of sneaky. More like a torch in the darkness. Yeah, THAT.
"Whaaaaaaatcha making?" he asked, sliding in next to her. Spotting his only recipient for this time around Barney swooped towards the human boy. Seeing no place to land, he panicked wing flapping excessivly before he landed on the desk causing cutlery and ingredients to fly in every direction. Coming up on his feet a little rockily he stuck his left leg out towards the boy with the letter titled 'Phillip'.
SPOILER!!: Secret Santa Letter
Dear Phillip,
Happy Christmas, and congratulations once again on becoming a Slytherin. I know it might seem a little bit overwhelming, but you're doing great so far! Or, at least, you haven't died or gone to detention or been kidnapped by a giant spider (those things sometimes happen, no big deal). I wanted to give you a few secrets about Hogwarts as your Christmas present from me:
1) When they say don't go into the Forbidden Forest, it means don't go in ALONE. And by not alone, I mean take an adult - and pick a good one. Dakest will keep you alive, but Flamsteed might feed you to a dragon himself.
2) There is no pool or lift at Hogwarts, no matter WHO tries to sell you a pass to one.
3) If you're ever late to class, hint to the professor that you've just come from the loo and something unfortunate happened there. They don't ask questions and will usually back off.
4) Try not to be late to class, though.
5) Remember to take a bath more often than you think you should, and always comb your hair. It's super embarrassing when no one wants to sit next to you because you stink.
6) There's always plenty of food at meals, so you don't have to stock up for later. Also, chicken wings do NOT keep well under the bed.
7) If you haven't tried the pineapple upside down cake, you should go to the kitchens right NOW. It's in the corridor off the Entrance Hall and you tickle the pear portrait to get inside.
8) Make a best friend and never ever let them down.
9) You can be friends with me, but I demand the right to paint your nails occasionally.
Happy Christmas again, and let me know if I can ever ever do something to help you settle in. Eat pudding until you get sick!
Your Secret Santa
