Delaney descended the stairs that lead to the entrance hall and glanced around. They weren't hard to spot. Aboli had a small group of Ravenclaws gathered around some tables, one containing a number of holiday cards. Delaney had seen the flyer hung up around the castle and was intrigued. She had no skills to offer BUT Christmas was her all time favorite holiday (right after her birthday of course) and she was determined to make this year a good one even though she would be stuck at school. See, Delaney LOVED receiving gifts but she also found some joy in giving them as well. There was almost no chance of any of her presents from home reaching her this year (unless the Neo Alliance were also big Christmas supporters) which left her with only one other option: giving. Delaney had no talents herself, not a creative bone in her body, which means she would need to enlist help.
She strode over the group with her arms behind her back, "Hello Aboli," She was only mildly familiar with the older snake, but she did remember she was pro 'sticking together'. She nodded her greeting to the others as well, "I heard you're all making stuff for Christmas? I need stuff. I don't have any coin with me..." That was a lie but who knows when she might need the money in the future for something more pressing, "But I've got a couple of pumpkin pasties, some chocolate frog cards, and a Puddlemere United poster I can trade you for ... or whatever else I can help you with."
Delaney shrugged. She would be happy to help in whatever way she can in exchange for some gifts...
