If there was one thing that River looked forward to, it would be Christmas. The season never failed to lighten up the mood, despite the current situation they were having in school right now. Besides, the activity they were about to do has been part of Hogwarts' rich tradition during the Holiday season.

With a grin on his face, River led a dog parade as he pushed open the doors to the Great Hall and made a beeline for the staff dais. Still decked in his full gear, he waved to his colleagues and wondered if the students missed their memo? Where were they? "Hello Kay, Justin, Cynthia." his eyes then fell on the big tree and then gestured his arm towards his dogs, Roscoe and Bumi, carrying all the miniature Christmas trees they collected from his Seminar a few days ago. "I thought it was best to donate these," he started as he unleashed both his dogs from their carts. "Maybe we can put each in a pot and...place them on the house tables?" He wasn't exactly good in decorating interiors, but he thought that was rather a good idea. Trees! Trees everywhere!
