Gaston hated dressing up in costumes! He thought they drew too much unnecessary attention to himself, and that made him uncomfortable. But this year, he'd been asked to dress up as Santa Claus and deliver candy canes to the students and staff, and he hadn't the heart to refuse. After all, it was for the kids! The charms professor was completely unrecognizable now. The padded Santa suit he wore added bulk to him, and he's used a charm to lengthen his hair and beard and turn them white. He even found a spell to disguise his voice because he knew his accent would be a dead giveaway! Only his brilliant blue eyes provided a clue to his identity.

Jingle, jingle, jingle! ~~Gaston~~ Santa Claus jingled a little bell to get the students' attention as he approached the History of Magic classroom. "HO, HO, HO!" he shouted as he stepped inside. "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

He set the large red sack slung over his shoulder onto the floor in front of him with a thump. "Let's see what Santa has for all the good students of Hogwarts!" He reached into the bag and pulled out a candy cane. "Here's something for... Mr. Brent Westwood!" He handed the Slytherin the candy cane; attached to it was a little card that read:

Quote:

To: Brent Westwood

Hey there,

You probably think this gram thing is just for fun, well let me say, it certainly looks to be so. Here's some free candy so you won't need to wait on line at the train again.

Hope you're enjoying Hogwarts so far!

From: Your favorite sarcasm princess

Santa reached back into the sack and produced another candy cane. "And here's one for..." He paused to read the card. "Mr. Kane Westwood!" He handed the candy to the younger Westwood brother. The attached card said:

Quote:

To: Kane Westwood

What's up, man! I couldn't ask for a better brother. You're a cool lil dude, bro.

From: Brent Westwood

But Santa still wasn't done! He still had one more gift to deliver! "Ooh, and here's something for Professor Newton!" he exclaimed, reaching into the sack one more time. This gift was a little different than the others. instead of one candy cane, there were two tied together to form a heart, and the attached card read:

Quote:

To: Rosalyn Newton

My dearest Rose -

You fill my life
with sweetness and light
Here's hoping your holiday
is merry and bright

From: G.M.

Santa's bright blue eyes twinkled, and if the professor looked closely, she'd catch a faint glimpse of a burn scar on his left arm as he handed her the candy. "Well, I must be off! Lots of gifts to deliver!" he said as he turned away, picking up his sack and slinging it over his shoulder. And then he was gone.
