"Thank you, my dear, and a Merry Christmas to you as well. I'm sorry we haven't been formerly introduced before. What is it you teach?"

"Wouldn't that be lovely? You didn't miss much... the food and merriment, and the snowing began just before you came in, but the feel is really quite festive." Cassandra was very fond of the current Headmaster, and she was pleased he'd seated himself beside her. He was kind and very wise, both of which had made all their dealings thus far pleasant.

She should get on with things while she had a captive audience, right? Cassandra gave Botros one last smile before rising and raising a hand to quiet the table of students. "Please don't stop eating on my account, but I would very much appreciate your attention. The Board of Governors is very pleased to join with you on this festive occasion, not only to celebrate the holiday, but also to announce something quite exciting. As you probably witnessed at your first camp, there was a winner selected from among the participants. At the end of the term, you will have selected five very lucky winners, and these winner will have the opportunity to either participate in a Ministry internship or a Quidditch stadium tour and game, depending on the age of the winner. You'll also have the opportunity to have dinner with the Minister for Magic. Headmaster Botros will have more information to share with you about how the winners are selected, but I wanted to be the very first to tell you all about our exciting news!"

Beatrice bowed her head slightly and said "Thank you!" Yes, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all. "I teach Transfiguration. Beatrice York," she introduced herself.

And then as she stood and hushed the hall, Beatrice gave her undivided attention. Of course this announcement came with no shock, but she was eager to see the reactions of the students. She expected a great deal of excitement. After all, the Puffer herself was super excited about it all. Who wouldn't want to win what the Board of Governor's was offering them?

"Yeah huh..." he said still staring in awe. He shook his head and grabbed the hat and put it on. "How does it look?" he asked and tilted his head. "Oh yeah I would love a Christmas cracker." he grinned and understood the term and accepted the nice gesture. He ate it and thought it was pretty good.

What was christmas like in durmstrang? He chewed his food and thought about it for a minute. He took a swig of his pumpkin juice and answered, "Well it was this decorated. I mean these goblets are really fancy..." he gestured towards his own cup. "The headmaster would make us cook our own food for the feast. We didn't have elves making the food for us.." he shrugged but he appreciated it all the same. "I like it here much better of course." he smiled and took more bites into his delicious food. "Did you get everything you wished for this holiday?" he asked.

Beatrice smiled warmly at the dear lad who seemed to be rather... impressed? with the spell. But thankfully he pulled himself together to take it and put it on. "Oh wonderfully festive, Colt!" She said happily, replacing her own hat. Matchies now!

What? Beatrice... frowned. "They..." she started, but stopped. No, he was here NOW, that was all that mattered. Was it? But honestly, how barbaric, making students cook their own food for the Christmas feast. And no house elves making food? But... they loved cooking, didn't they? Was that only if one was nice to the elves? Perhaps... At least he didn't seem to foster any bitterness about the whole experience. "Well I'm glad you're enjoying your holidays here, Colt." That made it all the more exciting.

After swallowing more food, Beatrice nodded, "I did! I got some more Cello polish, and some books, and my cat got a new sleeping pillow. Lots of sweets too." LOTS. She didn't think she'd have to buy any more sweets to fill up the bowls in her office and classroom anymore.

He smiled and clapped modestly after she announced the valuable two rewards. "Thank you, Mrs. President," that sounded oddly Muggle-ish. Oh well. "The five winners we're talking about are the students who collect most points on the Camp Tracker in the student bulletin. Those are the ones who show house and school spirit, and participate in the activities held over the term," he explained briefly and added, "It's getting late, so if you haven't yet, I urge you to finish your meal before we turn in for the night. Thanks everyone for sharing this very blessed evening with your schoolmates. Those times are sacred and very dear as you get older. Believe me, I know." With a final beam at the kids, Botros sat back down to continue his meal.

And then the lovely Headmaster gave his side of the speech. Beatrice happily listened to everything he said, and stole a glance over the faces of the students. Who was super excited about this announcement? Beatrice CERTAINLY was! She couldn't wait for the other Camps and to see how much fun everyone had.

And at his reminder, not wanting to let any food go to waste, or any OWLS to eat from her plate, Beatrice continued eating her food, going now for the desserts.
