Cole’s agreement to decorate the trees sounded rather half hearted and Naya understood. Then he said possibly the only thing that would make her feel better. He wanted to hold her hand and on top of that, he offered her a cookie. What more could she ask for? Naya didn’t answer, she just reached out and took Cole’s hand into her own. Yep. She felt better already. This time her smile was genuine. With her free hand, she took the gingerbread cookie and tasted a bite of its foot. “Mmmm it is good.”

Hearing her name, Naya turned around to see her dormmate. ”Hi Islay. Thanks. I feel pretty cozy. Her dormie got a smile too. Islay was ready to help with the decorating. Naya glanced at Cole and back to Islay. “Sure. We could use some help. We were just going to decorate the Christmas tree.” She hoped Cole didn’t mind her answering for both of them. They could use some cheer and Islay surely seemed cheerful.


"I've never missed a christmas either with my family. It feels odd." Cole admitted. It was like the weather and circumstance had cancelled Christmas. He did though have Isobel here with him at school, but she hadn’t come to the great hall yet. Wasn’t the sleepover mandatory? Feeling his cheeks burn at Naya's words he mumbled as he looked into her eyes. "I feel totally the same. Spending time with you is one of the few good things this christmas." He had to try and perk up for her. It was christmas after all and Cole was being a big party pooper. When Naya slipped her hand into his, he couldn’t be happier and thus the smile he gave her next was warm, bright and totally genuine. No sadness there. "I wonder how the house elves learn to bake." Cole wondered out loud, as he nibbled on his own cookie.

By the time that Islay came over to them he had seen and felt Claudine’s eyes on him and also Carsyn’s. "Hi Islay!" Cole greeted, but what he had wanted to say more went out of his head because of the cozy comment which made his face feel very warm. Licking his lips he gestured to the nearest tree "Shall we go over to that tree and start with the candles first?"
