Ronan definitely felt more at ease as a steady stream of people began to walk through the doors. He waved at his dormmate Minjae as he saw him appear, noting with a tiny pang of envy that he had his grand pyjamas on. He'd seen them of course, being dormmates. Another glance around told Ronan that some other dormmates, uhm, weren't here yet. He hoped they would show up soon.

He was a hand's reach from the cookies when Headmaster Trent spoke up again, and he was assigned to tree duty. Which is funny, considering he'd just been thinking about Maxie, who would be best at tree duty. ... Because he's tall. Ronan nodded and swiped a cookie before walking over to the box with the tree things. He'd just taken a bite out of the cookie when the singing started. His cheeks burned instantly. Singing Christmas songs with the professors was not something he'd ever thought he'd do. Nor did he think he'd ever hear Professor Eris belt Jingle Bell Rock, which was somehow even worse? He coughed and mouthed along with the song, preferring to keep silent.

So... Professor Eris was right up there putting decorations up. What was he supposed to do, really? Fidgeting with the hem of his inside-out shirt, he was spared having to figure that out immediately by the arrival of Alexandre. Who- wait, what? Ronan hurried over. He only knew Professor Eris had a granddaughter at school, some Slytherin girl, and he definitely did not know Alexandre was related to him too. He was about to ask when Aboli voiced his question for him, and he offered his classmate a small finger wave.

If Ronan had thought the Jingle Bell Rock thing would be the most embarrassing moment of the night, he quickly changed his mind as Professor Schmoe walked in. Not because of that onesie he was wearing - although, it was very unfortunate as well, in his opinion - but because of what he said to him. LOUDLY. In front of everyone. How had he even noticed????? Ronan's cheeks burned. "Uh," this is NOT fair, he's wearing a purple dinosaur costume!!! "It's- uhm, it has a stain on it professor," Ronan mumbled, pulling the shirt taut in a weird attempt to make it less obvious that he was wearing it wrong. Did he need to add more? "Your onesie is very nice, sir." Ronan panicked, and dearly wished that Luz would magically appear and help him make this interaction end.

That didn't happen, but what did happen helped some. Other than that weird man appearing, Professor Rainwater came in (!!!) with plants and Christmas cheer and Ronan visibly relaxed. He was his favourite professor, no offense to Schmoe or the rest of them. "Merry Christmas professor!" Ronan called out to him with a genuine smile and a wave. Could he go there?? Was he dismissed?? Or will Schmoe force him to wear his shirt properly and everyone will see the Wallace merch? He hoped not. He wanted to eat cookies and help Professor Rainwater decorate some plants.
