The Great Hall's missing tables seem to work out in your favor, for once, as you notice the GIANT Christmas Tree in the center of the Winter Wonderland. This is THE tree to top all trees, and it is up to you and the Prefects to decorate it appropriately. The other 12 Christmas Trees are already carefully arranged around the perimeter of the hall so that you can look to them for inspiration if you need to.
A myriad of decorations just for this tree are stored in a big tote box near the base of the tree. Roll up your sleeves and start decorating, helper! Just be sure to leave the star that goes on top for the Headmistress. She also loves decorating.

Carefully moving through the entrance hall, levitating the trees a few feet in the air, Seb made his way into the Great Hall and once inside, he carefully placed the trees around the room making sure that they were visible from every angle.
Yep, he loved this time of year.
The Groundskeeper would find it much easier to decorate this year, without the four house tables and one staff table blocking the way. To the decorating crew, it might not seem odd that the tables were missing; but to the students who had been forced to eat breakfast on the floor, the missing tables were an OUTRAGE.
Either way, carry on with your decorating! Enjoy the open floor space, for now.
Oh gosh. She was sobbing. And it didn't seem like she was going to stop anytime soon. He raised an eyebrow at her and just stared as she defended herself. It was a REALLY bad excuse, if he said so himself. Deciding to keep his mouth shut, Ed glanced over at Isaac who'd now decided to leave and then down to the emotional wreck in his arms. Poor Sutton.
Edmund rested his chin on her head gently and just let her cry it out.
As she stood there crying in Edmund's arms, she became very aware of how... public all of this had been, and how public it still was. Amelia. She was BOUND to hear. Someone had to tell her. It was Sutton's fault, she had to find her first... before anyone else told her. "Edmund, Ed, let me go! I have to leave! I have to find Amelia and tell her and apologize and say it's all my fault before someone else tells her and she breaks up with him," she quickly blurted as she tried to tug free of Edmund's arms, feeling very frantic to set everything right again.
She didn't want people to be mad. She didn't want them to cry.

She didn't want people to be mad. She didn't want them to cry.
First she was crying it all out and now she was fighting to get away from him? "Sutton, Sutton. It's okay, calm down." He kept hold of her, trying to make her see reason. "If you tell her, she'll break up with him." Yes, he knew what she was like. "Just calm down. I don't know if anyone else saw, and I'm not going to tell her." He'd already punched Isaac for her. "Think about this for a moment." He pleaded with her, hoping she'd see reason.

Sutton shook her head as Ed tried to tell her not to go find Amelia. She couldn't breathe. Literally, she couldn't get air into her lungs. It was like she had just run REALLY fast for a REALLY long time... or like she was trying to breathe through a straw really quickly. 'Ed... I have... to. It's my... my fault!" she gasped. The harder it was to breathe, the more she panicked, and the harder yet it became to breathe. "Please... I don't... what does she.... she look like?!" Sutton stammered, here eyes scanning the Great Hall. Maybe she was already here.

Oh gosh! She was panicking! "Okay, okay! We'll go see her!" He loosened his grip on her slightly. "But you need to calm down first. Just... look at me." He moved so he could look into her eyes. "I promise I'll take you to her and stand with you while you tell her if you just relax." Couldn't have her freaking out any more than she already was!

Sutton nodded at Edmund as he said he'd take her if she calmed down. Looking up into his eyes, she held onto him for support, no longer struggling to get away. It struck her as odd that Edmund had gone from soooo mad at her to caring about her soooo much. She was scared, and she had messed up, and Ed was still here. Somehow, that thought... that he was there and not abandoning her helped her calm down. As her breathing slowed down, she hugged him tight again. "Can we get out of here now, please, Ed?" she asked in quiet, sad voice.

Holding onto her for a completely different reason, Ed smiled at her fondly as she calmed down. He hugged her back with relief and nodded. "Of course. Where do you want to go?" Did she still want to go find Amelia? 'Cause they should probably find Isaac and give him a heads up first if she did.

Once she felt back to normal except for what she imagined would be a permanent film of shame on her soul, she took a step back from him to answer his question. Where DID she want to go? Was she honestly ready to face Amelia right now? It didn't matter if she was ready or not. It had to be done. "Yes, we should go find her... before anyone else does..."
Or worse, before she found her name in the next issue of Aparecium...

"Okay. Lets go then. But I need to find Isaac first. Are you okay with that?" He asked unsurely, staring at Sutton to SEE her reaction rather than be told 'yes' when she really meant no. He was also wondering if they'd go back to see the tree soon too. He really did want to help decorate it.

Sutton took a deep, steadying breath and set her face, her eyes taking on a determined edge. "Yes, I'll be okay," she said honestly to her BROTHER!friend. Even though she was determined, she still planned on letting Edmund do all the talking to Isaac. He hadn't come after her, he had been too afraid of Edmund to care that she was so upset, so that was that. Yep. She was officially mad at Isaac... or at least that's what she told herself as her hand reached down and found Edmund's. And she was NOT letting go.
Elise bounded into the Great Hall, scarf snugly wrapped around her neck and a few snowflakes caught in the red beanie atop her head. The first thing she saw just had to be the giant tree, all undecorated but still grand in the center of the room. She couldn't resist.
"Whoa," she gasped.
Elise rushed towards the tree, beaming widely. They were supposed to help decorate it. Now, if only she could figure out where the decorations were. Hmm. She'd just have to look, then. But maybe she'd admire the other twelve trees first.
The prefects had done a really great job this term, no doubt.
"It's pretty amazing, isn't it?" Spike said, appearing from the other side of the giant tree with a box of twinkling baubles balanced on one hip. He'd been part of the planning of this whole event, but had still been in awe when the main tree had arrived. Even without decorations, it was pretty dominant in the room. Unless you were hungry, in which case the smell of gingerbread ftom Kurumi and the House Elves would catch the attention first.
"You want to help with the decoration?" Spike asked the younger 'Claw with a smile. "There's these baubles, or a whole host of other decorations in the big box just round the other side."

"It's beautiful," she nodded before turning around to see Spike. He seemed to have a box on his hip, but she couldn't quite make out what was in it. But her attention snapped back to the tree almost immediately. "You guys must have lost so much sleep planning this," she smiled as she reached out to touch the tree a little.
"We're allowed to?" she gasped, turning around suddenly. That just made her day. OR her week. She was just sooooo happy. Beaming, she nodded. "I'd love to." She would. Really. "We are allowed to levitate them, right?" Just cause Elise wouldn't quite be able to reach a few branches.

The twelve year old eagle stared up at the tree, partially decorated thanks to a few of the students that had beaten her there first.
IT WAS SO BIG.
Challenging almost, in it's partial bareness. Dora was up for the challenge of getting the entire thing decorated too. She'd used her feet to move one of the boxes full of decorations, and after a long moment of staring down the tree, and glancing over at the other students to see what they were doing, she finally reached in and grabbed one of the ornaments. A pretty bronze one.
House colors for the win.

The Hufflepuff Prefect couldn't help but check out the christmas tree decorating. It looked so amazing so far with everyone helping.
Belle noticed a Ravenclaw decorating and thought it would be nice to say hello. Belle walked up to her and asked, "It's a big tree isn't it?" Belle already picked out her ornament.
She put a little red ornament up on one of the branches. Belle was looking for a Hufflepuff ornament next.
"It's beautiful," she nodded before turning around to see Spike. He seemed to have a box on his hip, but she couldn't quite make out what was in it.

"Something like that," Spike said sheepishly. Though recently it hadn't been the only thing he'd lost sleep over. "It's worth it though, seeing everyone's reaction today." There'd been a lot of 'oooh's and 'aaaaah's as people entered the room, and that made him happy.
"Of course," Spike said with a grin. "It's why this giant one looks all bare and empty at the moment...so we can decorate it appropriately." He put the box of baubles on the ground, and took out a couple of frosty blue ones to hang on the lower branches. He bent down, and hooked them on, before looking back up to the Ravenclaw. "Sure, levitation works," Spike said with a nod. "Or I've got a ladder 'round the other side. I can climb up and put them where you direct me if it's easier."

"Huge." She agreed, reaching high to put on her ornament. Her eyes traveled to the one the Hufflepuff prefect picked out and went for an ornament to match both of theirs. "It'll take forever to decorate, but I like it. You guys did a good job on this thing." Too bad she hadn't found the hot chocolate yet.
Dora pulled out a enchanted Santa on a broom ornament and lifted it into the air, letting it fly around the tree. "I'm Dora."

Belle nodded and agreed with the fellow Ravenclaw. "I agree it will take forever to put up all the ornaments but i am sure we will get lots of help."
As Dora mentioned the prefects doing a great job, Belle smiled and said "Thank you very much. All the Prefects and professor's get all the credit. We wanted to give you guys a break from studying for a while. I know i needed it." Belle winked at her.
As Dora mentioned her name, Belle put out her hand and said, "I am Annabelle but you can call me Belle for short. Everyone does. You excited for the holidays?" Belle asked her as she picked out a hufflepuff house crest ornament to show school pride.
After making her way to the great hall, the fifth year remained standing and glimpsed at the decorations. Obviously, the first thing she noticed was the Christmas tree in the center of the room. An actual smile appeared on the girl’s face while looking around. It was so wonderful. The atmosphere… The decorations… Everything… No wonder this was her favourite time of the year.
Gwendolyn eventually headed over towards the giant Christmas tree and examined the decorations which were being placed on the branches before making her way to the box, which lay at the base of the tree.

Yeah. Elise could see how something like this would be worth all the sleepless nights. Everyone seemed to adore the prefects' event this term. Elise was proud too. This stuff was just so wonderful! The only way it'd get better would be if it snowed indoors.
"That's really cool," she beamed, looking at him before shifting her gaze to the box of baubles on the ground. Maybe she'd take a bronze one. Picking it up, Elise turned it around in her hand, watching the way it caught the light. Since they could levitate them, Elise moved the bauble into her right hand before taking her wand out.
"Nah, I'd rather do it myself." Elise grinned, waving her hand flippantly. She liked being independent. It was actually quite fun. "It's easier to visualize where to put it without a ladder blocking the view, don't you think?" Well, it was.
"Wingardium leviosa," she muttered. Swish and flick. It was one of the earliest spells she'd learnt, and the incantation was hardly audible. But she said it out loud just because she wasn't sure she could perform them non-verbal yet. Guiding it about half a foot above her head, she hooked it onto a branch and smiled.

Dora wasn't so sure they'd get that help anytime soon. Most of her classmates seemed more inclined to eat cookies and meet the headmistress. She herself would get cookies soon as she tired of tree decorating.
"I don't know about a break, but I do like fun stuff and this is fun." She WAS a Ravenclaw after all, studying wasn't so much of a chore as it was a leisurely activity when it was a subject that fascinated her. "My full name is Isidora, and I know who you are." Dora had made a point to know all the school leaders. "I'm spending the holidays here this year. Not sure if there's anything to look forward to 'sides this event."
But it was so much better than returning home for the holidays, even if she would be missing the few relatives who came to her grandmother's during that time. She pulled out little reindeer and let them chase after the santa on the broom.

Belle was impressed by her full name. "Now that is a very unique name. I really like it. Much more unique than mine." Belle chuckled.
"I am glad to know you know who i am. I am making it a mission to meet many people as possible actually."
When Dora mentioned staying at hogwarts for the holidays, Belle did not think there was anything wrong with spending the holidays at hogwarts.
"Aw i am sure you will have fun, you know what i did last term? I actually made a snowball fort and just had fun pelting people, well my friends really. I even managed to make some snow angels in the process."
Belle smiled as she saw the reindeer chase the santa on the broom. It was really magical. Belle managed to find a Santa with a spaceship ornament. It looked adorable. Belle said, "Wingardium Leviosa!" and then it levitated to one of the top tree branches.

Even if she had no use for them, she still made it a point to know WHO they were.
"That sounds like fun." Maaaybe she would do something like that when this event was over and it got quiet again. Her thoughts didn't linger on snow forts when she noticed the next ornament pulled out and she paused to watch it float up. "What's he in?" Santa she meant.

Gwendolyn eventually headed over towards the giant Christmas tree and examined the decorations which were being placed on the branches before making her way to the box, which lay at the base of the tree. After picking a random ornament, the Ravenclaw glimpsed back at the tree, eventually picking a spot for the decoration.
Jory was just looking through the box next to him and wasn't paying attention to the person who just approached the tree. It wasn't until he placed the candy cane on the tree that he noticed it was Gwen. She was actually smiling. A real smile, too.
"Gwen!'' Jory called as he left the spot he was decorating as going over to his friend. "Hello,'' he said. "Nice smile." He grinned- it was one of those rare times when he saw a smiling Gwen. "How are you?''

Soon after finding a place on one of the branches for the ornament, Gwendolyn heard someone call her name. The fifth year drew her attention away from the Christmas tree and tracked down the source of the voice, finally managing to spot Jory.
’Hi’, she offered a smile as she noticed the Hufflepuf approaching the place where she was standing. ’I’m all right’ Well, she was obviously better than just all right at the moment. With the Christmas atmosphere and all... Also- she had almost managed to get used to the whole Joriadne thing...
Almost.
’You?’, the fifth year eventually asked Jory. ‘By the way...', she started saying, remembering that she wanted to tell him something- 'I’ve read one of the muggle books you suggested...’, the girl mused while picking another ornament from the box, then drawing her attention back to Jory, she added: ‘Loved it’ Indeed, the book written by Mary Higgins Clark was now one of her favourites.
"It's not that unique, I'm just not from around these parts." In case her Russian accent wasn't much of a give away. "But thanks. Your name's nice cause it can have cool nicknames that aren't boyish like mine." Not that Dora was boyish, but Sid sure was. "I know who all the prefects are."

Belle noticed the Russian accent before but she did not want to sound rude. Belle gushed and said, "Aww thank you and i do not think Dora is boyish. I think it is a sweet name."
When Dora asked what santa was in, Belle giggled and realized he probably was not accustomed to this kind of stuff. "Oh the ornament? Well Santa is in a rocket ship." Now how would she explain a rocket ship..."Well the rocket ship takes people up to outer space and even the moon from what i have heard from my parents." Belle chuckled to herself and then found another ornament which was a yellow golden glittering bauble to hang up on the tree. She actually manually put it on the tree. That was the magic of it all, just putting up ornaments by hand on the tree and smelling the evergreen tree.

After trying not to eat the whole gingerbread house, Milton tugged Taryn along to get some hot cocoa. After they got some, Milton wandered with her over to the giant tree that was still being decorated. "That's what I call a Christmas tree," he said, sizing the giant tree up. Milton sipped his peppermint hot cocoa and nudged Taryn's arm. "Wanna do some decorating?" Grin.
