Christmas time. It was one of Niomi's favorite times of the year. After being in school this long, it was nice being able to go home and see her family. Soon she will be able to. She missed her family so much.

Today, Niomi walked into the Great Hall, with a surprising change. It was that time of year, the room was decorated for Christmas. It was so beautiful. Niomi wish she could see this every year for the rest of her life. Sadly, she only had two Christmas left after this year.

Walking over to the Slytherin table, she sat down, by no one, she was all alone. After studying and going to classes all day, she was starving. Arriving at the table, she found sweeties and yummy food that can only be found at this great time of the year. With no one around, Niomi took her school book out and continued to read. Of course, before she read the pages, she grabbed a chocolate dipped pretzel and a Santa shaped cookie to snake on. She was hoping someone would come and take her attention away from this book.
