Ho ho ho, MERRY CHRISTMAS! This Christmas Eve, all students remaining at Hogwarts over the Christmas break have been invited to join the staff in the Great Hall for a delicious annual Hogwarts feast! As you enter the hall, rather than the staff dais and four house tables you're usually accustomed to, you will see one big table in the center with enough room for everyone. Surrounding the walls are the trees that you helped decorate, and the fires, which are warm and welcoming. Soon, we will be joined with guests so don't skip the meal even if you weren't hungry.
Come on in, choose a seat and put on your Christmas hat. Your Secret Santa letters will appear during the feast, so keep an eye on those owls!
The mention of his name pulled him from his thoughts. It was Hady, a Slytherin he met at that one breakfast thing. You know, the one where he got his pet rock. She was happily sleeping in his pocket at the moment. The Ravenclaw never left his common room without her. She had become one of his good friends, even if she was just a rock. It did mean she was a good listener.
Sighing to himself he grabbed his plate and tea cup, and sat down next to Hady, giving a small nod to Adi and Yoongi. "Happy Christmas guys." He tried to give a smile to everyone around. He noticed that those around him also had tea. He himself had chosen a nice cinnamon tea since it reminded him of his mother around this time. She never liked tea, but she made a lot of cinnamon rolls. He had also made it a habit of putting a strawberry on his saucer, taking a bite every time he took a sip. Strawberries and cinnamon was the best combination at Christmas.
"I did." He answered the question before turning around. Once he did, he realized it was Paulina, his previous potions buddy. "It's nice to see you without feathers." Another sip, another bite. Yum.

It was surprising to see so many children at Hogwarts for Christmas, especially considering the happenings of the previous term, but Cassandra Rae-Branxton was happy to have the opportunity to join them for such a festive meal. She looked a little like Mrs. Claus in her red dress with a Santa hat tipped at a jaunty angle on her coiffed hair, and her eyes drank in all the festive outfits the students were wearing. Tinsel and hats and bells and jangles. Very nice.
"Hello, all. The Board of Governors send their holiday greetings to you." The woman took a seat near the middle of the table, close enough to students and professors and all the lovely food. This was a proper feast! Mo and Doyle would be terribly disappointed to have missed out on such a treat.
not cut out for the nontextcut lifestyle: Hady, dante, benny, candice, yoongi

Her reply was followed with a shrug of her shoulders like it didn't bother her at all.
Oh... Well, that made sense. "Sorry you couldn't go home," he was curious as to why... But wasn't really his place to press for details, was it? His mother said that was rude. Ahem. "Christmas at Hogwarts is always brilliant though," he grinned. Not that he had too much experience with it, but he had chosen to stay at school for the holidays a few times in the past. And this time. This time it was a choice too.
It was nice staying behind at the castle when it was quieter. Really, really nice. "Holiday food is brilliant here, especially the dessert." Merlin, he couldn't wait. He'd also probably go bug Toddles for some left overs after the feast too. Ahem. 'Cause that's the life style he chose to live. La la la.
SPOILER!!: dante!

"Nice Beard, Zander. Almost as amazing as my hat"
"Thanks, Dante," he chuckled at the younger Slytherin. "S'kinda itchy though," he pulled at the beard, definitely regretting making it a part of his look for the evening. "You expecting any good presents this year?" Because that was very important.
Presents. Zander couldn't wait. Surely his parents managed to get something sent over. Speaking of which, look at the owl!
SPOILER!!: Bennnnny!

Give a little bit of change into the mix. And wait....he had missed Hady, his Ancient Runes partner/future creature doctor. Hi there...the fourth yer snake getting a nod of acknowledgement since she seemed to be in conversation.
He smiled at Benny and gave his dormmate a small nod. "Merlin, I love the holidays. Don't you, Benny?" He could just smell the jolly in the air. It was perfect. Or maybe that was just the pie? There would be pie... Right? 'Cause that's all Zander wanted. Some really great pie. And maybe a decorative cookie. Ahem. He was glad to see Benny in better spirits though. He seemed to be doing much better than he had at the beginning of the term. Wonder what all changed
SPOILER!!: Candice!

She fixed the Reindeer ears, as soon as she's sure that the Reindeer ears not going to fall off, the Gryffindor entered the Great Hall. The first thing she noticed was the HUGE tree and apparently some of the students and professors already there. She saw Colt talking with Professor York. She gave them a polite nod before she took a seat.
Now what food should she eat first?
.... Well someone wasn't happy. And it was clear because all the happy around her kinda served as a great contrast. Zander wanted to ask what was wrong... But also, that meant sitting around and listening to a not-so-happy story, probably. And it was chirstmas! Happy stories were a mUST. Except of course, "Everything alright, Candice?" Y'know, cause he felt like he had to.
The reindeer ears were a nice touch, by the way. Much better than his stupid itchy beard. How long did he have to wear this for exactly?
SPOILER!!: Yoongi!

But then Hady spoke again and he liked her solution better. Tea. Just simple hot peppermint tea with honey in it. Not some disgusting potion that made his ears blow out smoke. “You’re amazing Hady, better than these two Prefects” he stuck his tongue out at the two and began to cough again.
Heh. Oooooops. Didn't mean to offend Yoongi's personal honor or anything. "How'd you manage to get sick anyways?" Was it something like refusing to bundle up because it made him look fat or something? Zander had no doubt. hehe. But he liked Yoongi. He really did. Just also liked messing with the guy. It was like a weird role reversal or something.
Plus Yoongi always provided entertaining stories. Man really knew how to keep his audience intrigued.
"And I heard that!" The bit about being of no help. Ruuuude.

Weeee no quotes :P mention of Adi, Benny, Dot, Hady, professors and Rae-Branxton :P

Brooklyn was, probably not surprisingly, keeping aware of what was going on at the table around her. She’d known that Benny had noticed the look, but as he hadn’t questioned it she wasn’t about to explain. That he just looked weird with antlers that weren’t on a headband like the ones she’d shrunk to put on Tywin. Said antlers which were surprisingly still on her cat’s head, only slightly askew from her hand petting him. And she wasn’t about to say anything about how Adi hadn’t pushed to get a response from her either. Maybe the Puff was realizing he was better off letting her choose what she felt like doing.
Dot had gotten another smile, in response to the grin, though. And Hady got another. Of course she would have greeted her, and the other cat, who hadn’t done anything to annoy her. There hadn’t been any question that she liked her dormmate and the fluffball that was Hady’s cat. Brooklyn had looked back over to the professors to see the animated wave from Professor Moxley, along with catching the librarian’s return of her holiday wishes. “Some of it,” she replied with a nod, smiling politely a little as the Divination professor had joined the professor group too. “Happy Christmas Professor Morgan.” Oh, and also another “Happy Christmas” directed to Professor Tanner. She wasn’t paying attention to the owl that had started hopping around delivering letters. It wasn’t her dad’s, so she figured it wouldn’t be delivering to her.
Oh, and now even more adults were arriving. One, anyway, speaking of the board of governors. “Happy Christmas.” She was definitely going to be polite to someone on the board.

Making sure that the letter in his beak was secured Barney flew over towards the big feast table to make his next delivery. He looked left and right so many times before he spotted the next recipient that he was dizzy.

Stearing towards the boy, Barney swooped down and landed rockily on the table on one leg, knocking over the platter and cutlery in his hurry to deliver the letter titled 'Zander' to its recipient. With the letter still in his beak Barney waited for the boy to take it. It was hopefully still readable even if it was gooey with owl saliva.
SPOILER!!: Secret Santa Letter
Zander,
HAPPY CHRISTMAS MATE!!!
I hope your enjoy the holidays and have a great time hanging with friends both new and old. Hopefully you've received at least one present you were hoping for. Keep wearing that smile and doing the best you can like you always do. Never give up and you'll surely go far in whatever you choose to do. Many people look up to you around here even if you think that is so, I know I do. You're a hard worker and that's what matters most.
So laugh, drink some hot chocolate, eat some great food and have the best Christmas here at Hogwarts ever with all your mates!

Dreamily stirring her spoon in her hot chocolate, Olympia gazed along the table at her classmates. She loved Christmas. Straightening her Christmas hat, the third year sat up and took a sip from her mug.
It was nice and warm in the Great Hall, and she was still starving.. but what would she eat next? Hm hmmm..
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
As more of her friends began to arrive at the table Hady spotted Paulina nearly the same time the older girl had spotted her. "Merry Christmas to you as well and yes I did," she greeted with a small smile. She had joined the Secret Santa list finding it a nice thoughtful idea. Every little once of cheer that was brought into the holiday made it all that much more special.
"Happy Christmas." Hady returned back to the Ravenclaw with a gentle smile when she saw him get up and move over accepting her request for him to join them. Austin may not have seemed thrilled about it but he hadn't said no or anything. Turning slowly towards him a little Hady spoke once more. "Are you enjoying the holiday so far?" Did he like being here at the castle or would he have rather gone home like herself?
Aaww no he didn't need to be sorry that she hadn't been able to go home. It wasn't exactly anyone's fault it was just how things had turned out. "It's alright. I don't really mind being here, it's just that we were supposed to be moving over the break only now my father said the house isn't ready yet," the Slytherin explained as she looked Zander's way. Not ready. Those were the words that had been used in the letter she'd gotten days earlier. With a small shrug of her shoulders she added a few seconds later, "Whatever that's supposed to mean." Really she didn't even know what that meant.
Her fellow Slytherin's all got grins as they joined the table. She didn't have a problem with any of them so the more the merry for now.
Oh! Lookit! Hady lifted her gaze slightly as the owl swooped down dropping off Secret Santa letters to some of her fellow mates. She watched silently taking in the expressions on their faces as they read them. This Secret Santa thing had been a nice idea from the school.

As Adi went to cheer up a Ravenclaw girl Olathe had not met She took the opportunity to mingle. Most people were grouped and paired up chatting already which was a little intimidating for the first year. introducing her self into a group always made her feel as if she were interrupting. then she spotted a girl (Olympia ) focused on a cup of Cocoa. A cup of Cocoa wasn't a bad idea. Picking up a mug Olathe straighten her antlers once more and made her way over to the girl. " Merry Christmas." She greeted. " Mind if I join you?"
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
HA! That's what you get for sticking your tongue out at a prefect, Yoongi. Cough away! Actually, Adi was quite concerned for his friend. Hopefully he wasn't coming down with something. The Puff thumped the other dude lightly on the back. "It's a fake one. I tried transfiguring one but I ended up with a PURPLE, spiky beard. That was hardly festive.'' Okay, so Yoongi checking his reflection got a hearty laugh from Adi. "On second thought, I'd rather you cover up that face,'' he joked. "If someone looks at it too closely, they'd get nightmares.'' Don't take Adi to heart, Yoongi. Ali thinks you're quite a looker *wiggles brows*
"Thanks, Polly! I got a box of crackers for you in the dorm,'' he joked. Polly and cracker jokes never got old to him. Hehe. "Yes, I did. I wonder who I got as my Santa.'' The poor soul that got this over energetic Puffer... LOL "Did you take part too?''
Breaking away from conversing with Paulina, it was then that Brooklyn had brought Tywin along. He grinned at the ReindeerCat. Adi didn't really think that Tywin was wary of him as its owner was. Speaking of Brooklyn... "Going to decorate any tree?'' Just making light conversation here. Hehe.
"Penelope! Happy Christmas!'' Adi grinned at the girl who had helped him and Yoongi out with the whole spider incident at the Entrance Hall last term. "Hello, Merry Christmas, Professor Tanner!''
Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
Benny smiled at the returned greeting from Professor Moxley, the former Gryffindor one of those that had certainly grown on him since her arrival. She was also very cheerful and festive this evening. And then there was the acknowledgement of his own acknowledgement from Hady. The seventh year made a note to perhaps speak to her at another time, they weren't the closest at the moment and he wasn't about to get up nor call across and down the table. Plenty of time for other socializing.
Oh look...an owl.
Likely the one or one of the ones that would be delieving the various Secret Santa notes that he and others had written to each other. He briefly noticed one recipient in particular, doing his best not to let his reaction be noticable and reveal his identity. Benny prefered to stay secret in this endeveor. Kittridge also awknowledged his greeting and he nodded in answer to his question at first before regaining his voice. "It's been...curious. They've all had a few notable surprises." Which was definitely the truth. There was the experiences that followed the one potions lesson. And the human bowling within Muggle Studies.
True there. There were other ways to make his nose red. "There's an idea. Care to do the honors, Santa? I've forgotten my mirror." And Benny didn't trust himself to try and get it right on target with the target not exactly able to be seen by his own eyes. As for the mention of a present, he had to chuckle. "I thought my presence was usually enough." It was a tease but the gift was currently not with him, his bestie would have to wait for the actual Christmas morning.
I decided to make the most of Hogwarts while I'm still here
Oh...well that explained it. Paulina's presence that was. The Gryffindor nodded in acknowledgment of the news, a part of him feeling somewhat happy at the development. "Nice to see you then," he remarked with a smile. "Uh huh...I am," he admitted, "Hopefully you are too." So that her choice to stay wasn't in vain and she didn't regret it in the long run. The topic of the Secret Santa had been brought up by Paulina and he couldn't help nodding again. "Yeah...we did." He and Adi had even talked over what they were going to send to their partners.
"Yeah I do too," he agreed with smile as Zander mentioned loving the holidays. It was the one most positive note in the cold of winter. Not to mention spending time with those one cared about was also a plus, even if it wasn't at home. Benny had no thought on how he had been at the last big event the two of them had spent any time together in, so he wasn't aware his friend had noticed the change.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Cookies from Penelope, Tea from Hady. He was quite the lady’s man wasn’t he?
“Thanks” he said, taking the mug of tea from across the table that the slytherin girl had made. He took a sip, realized that it was too hot and blew on it instead. “How you doing by the way?” he asked. Just trying to keep the conversation going. Since he was horrible at that.
Looking at the guy (Austin) he did not know sitting next to Hady, Yoongi smiled while sipping his tea when he told them all a happy Christmas “You too… hey, I’m Yoongi..i’d shake hands but unless you want to get sick as well I suggest you don’t”
An older looking woman (Cassandra) appeared and she did not look like one of the Professor’s. He looked at Zander with a raised eyebrow. “Board of Governors…what’s that?” seriously, he was not ministry smart. How he managed to get sick? Yoongi tried not to roll his eyes. How did one even know how they got sick? “I always get a bit sick during this time of the year, it’s a like a holiday gift” he said and made a face as if he was about to sneeze but then …”false alarm”
Spotting Olympia somewhere on the other side of the table, Yoongi did not risk raising his voice again in case he sneezed or coughed over everyone again. So instead, he took a piece of paper out of his pocket, crumbled it up and threw it at her to get her attention.
Heeeereee! Looook!
“What you mean? A spiky purple beard would have been really festive!” he laughed as Adi definitely got his attention now. “You could have hung Christmas balls in it!” imagine it though! Bwahaha…”wait that’s BRILLIANT! Aww man why don’t I have a bea----HEY!” He did NOT just insult his face. Nuhuh not the face! Of course he got that Adi was just joking. He didn’t seem the type to insult someone’s appearance. “oh go away” he grinned.
As more of her friends began to arrive at the table Hady spotted Paulina nearly the same time the older girl had spotted her. "Merry Christmas to you as well and yes I did," she greeted with a small smile. She had joined the Secret Santa list finding it a nice thoughtful idea. Every little once of cheer that was brought into the holiday made it all that much more special.

Austin turned towards Hady, taking a bite from a strawberry. "Eh, I normally like Christmas, but I'm just not feeling the spirit this year." He shrugged. There was no need to dampen the mood with the story of his mother. The Ravenclaw was just going to sit here and drink his tea. Maybe chat. "What about you? Enjoying the festive castle?" He did have to admit, the castle did seem brighter than previous years.
SPOILER!!: Yoongi

He didn’t seem the type to insult someone’s appearance. “oh go away” he grinned.
Austin turned towards the boy (Yoongi) who had addressed him. "I'm Austin, and by the sounds of it, I'll keep my hands on my tea." He took a sip, turning his attention to the owls. A few had flew in, dropping letters here and there. He did participate in the Secret Santa but he was worried about being forgotten. Which probably didn't happen, there were thousands of owls at Hogwarts and if he did get a letter, it would happen eventually. He just needed to stop being a worry wort, and drink his tea.
He saw a Hufflepuff (Olympia) sitting alone, gazing at some food. And then he saw Yoongi throw some paper at her. "Dude, what in Merlin's beard are you doing?" That was a little rude, she wasn't sitting that far away.

Ahh and another Professor was joining the feast! "Hello Tiara, Merry Christmas!" Beatrice said happily, seemingly delirious with happiness.
Yes, that pudding right there. That would be the one to start off with. But she would just take a small sampling, of course.. But before she could actually scoop any out of the full bowl, she heard a comment behind her about a Christmas cracker. She thought it was her colleague, but she wasn't sure of it until the woman spoke directly to her a few moments later.
"Beatrice!" she exclaimed happily after swallowing her first bite of delicious dessert. "Happy Christmas to you! I'd love to pull the cracker with you, unless you've already found someone," she said, tentatively extending her free hand.

"Happy Christmas!" she called to the Hufflepuff prefect a few yards away. She didn't attempt to engage him in conversation, however, as he looked to be already occupied.
That slipped of tongue was not cool, Adi! Not cool at all! What if everyone decided its okay to call her Candy because a Prefect called her that? But at least he managed to safe it even though its a poor safe. "Happy Christmas." She mumbled before she sat down next to Colt. "Yes, it look like the opening feast." But BETTER. She hoped they have some foods that she could eat. The one that didn't contain meat and sugar. "Nope. My brother decided to go out on a Guy's Trip with my uncle so here I am. What's your excuse?" She thought Colt was going back home for Christmas. Maybe he wanted to spend Christmas with his lady friend. What's her name again? Kate?
And then entered the Head Boy wearing a santa beard. "Everything's just peachy." As long as she could found something to eat. Where's the fruits anyway? Or vegetables? "I like your sweater." But if he was planning to dress up as a santa shouldn't he wore red sweater?

Barny could only carry so many letters at once. Once he had another batch around his leg, Barny hopped through the window, and flew down to the table, immediately spotting his next human recipient. And accidentally landed on said student's head. Barny quickly hopped off his head and onto the table, somehow causing the dessert spoon to fling off the table.
Don't mind Barny...

Dear Aditya,
I'm not really great with all this positive, Hufflepuff-y stuff. Not that I'm a miserable grouch either, but this.....
Anyway, instead of going on and on, I'll leave you with this quote from a famous poet from a long time ago, Maya Angelou: Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.
Signed,
Your Secret Santa

The topping was the antlers that didn't look fake. The Gryffindor had chosen the more real looking approach, having had experience with the spell in question, not to mention dealing with them as a transfigured reindeer. "Happy Christmas!!" He greeted everyone before siding up to his bestie with the Saint Nick complex.
"Howdy boss..."
And THERE was his next one... right next to the previous one they call Aditya. Barny hobble walked over to the next one, clanging the cutlery around with his two left feet as he tried to transport himself. He held his leg out with an envelope marked 'Benjamin' waiting for it to be taken.
SPOILER!!: Secret Santa Letter
Dear Benjamin Artreyu,
You. Are. Beautiful. Inside and out. I want to tell you how much you are appreciated. Without you, this world would not be quite the same. If it weren't for you, I probably would not be awake right now (Because I'm Writing this letter). I wouldn't be as happy as I am now knowing that this letter might make your day brighter.Dear, admirable stranger - Do me a favor. Look around you. Look up. Look down. Look at yourself. Deep into yourself. Are you happy? Are you happy as you could be? Should be? What would make you happier, just what would make you smile? One hour ago, 5 minutes ago, until the VERY last second you opened this letter, you didn't know I existed. But now stranger, we will forever be connected in a sense of anonymity! We're friends! I want the best for you. I want you to live a remarkable, joyous life. I wish you only good things, and long-lasting health, and wisdom and sensibility. Because that is what a friend does for another. Stranger, friend, brand new acquaintance-
I CHALLENGE you:
To try something different each and every day of your life. To do what makes you happy. To live without regrets. To make new friends and meet different people! To breathe and feel at peace. To ACCEPT YOURSELF for who you are.
Life is already difficult. Why make it any harder?

"Merry Christmas!!" Olympia responded automatically as she felt someone sit down beside her. "Course you can sit!" She even patted the seat next to her. "I'm Olympia, how're you?" The Gryffindr smiled, brushing her hair from her face. "Doesn't the Hall look amazing!!" She was all of a sudden feeling rather enthusiastic; she took a sip from her mug.
Feeling something hit her arm, she frowned and looked down the table as she set her mug aside. She did not need to look long to find the culprit. "Hey!!" She shouted at Yoongi indignantly, but she was smiling despite herself. Hmm, what could she throw back?? Slowly, veeery slowly her hand crept out in front of her and she pulled a piece off a nearby muffin. Olympia rolled it in her hands so it went into a ball, took aim aaaand... Well she has no idea if it hit her target as she was momentarily distracted by a fourth year in total disbelief at Yoongi throwing stuff at her (Austin) She laughed. "I know!!" Olympia agreed, smiling. "He's not really into friendly hello's.." She quickly dusted the crumbs from her hands, suddenly remembering there were also teachers at the table.. Oops. But surely no retaliation could be expected, and she had had no paper!! Desperate times call for desperate measures.. or in her case muffin crumbs. Yum.

The Gryffindr smiled, brushing her hair from her face. "Doesn't the Hall look amazing!!" She was all of a sudden feeling rather enthusiastic; she took a sip from her mug.
Olathe smiled as she took the seat and was greeted by the Gryffindor Olympia " I'm doing good was a little nervous staying for the holidays at first, This is my first Christmas away from home." Olathe blushed when she caught herslf rambling. " I Know it looks awesome." She agreed about the Great Hall. Olathe took a sipp of her hot chocolate as something sail past her.

But surely no retaliation could be expected, and she had had no paper!! Desperate times call for desperate measures.. or in her case muffin crumbs. Yum.
The ball of paper that flew past Olathe hit Olympia's arm. She looked around for who ever it had been thrown by, Olympia's reaction told Olathe the Gryffindor was perfectly aware of who the culprit was. This was beginning to remind her of holiday's with her cousins. She decided Christmas here at Hogwarts wasn't going to be so much different after all well with one big exception... Magic of course.
Beatrice hadn't meant to startle Colt, so she put a hand on his shoulder; "Oops, my my, I didn't mean to startle you Colt." But all seemed to be okay, and he kept eating. Relieved, she filled her plate with delicious food and started eating.
Beatrice reached up and touched the hat, a grin on her face, "Thank you dear, I'm quite fond of it myself. Unfortunately I only get to wear it once a year!" It was a shame, really. Colt wasn't wearing a hat, so Beatrice pointed to his bonbon. "How about you pop that with someone, there might be a hat in there?" She didn't know, really, but most of them had fun little hats of some kind. Wizarding ones were even more fun than the muggle ones.
She bit into a roast potato, "Mmmmm," she said, agreeing wholeheartedly at what Colt was saying. "My holidays are going very well, Colt. How are yours? I hope your Christmas at Hogwarts is okay." She thought it was amazing. Everything they did at Hogwarts over Christmas was lovely, and whilst she felt a pang of sadness for those students not going home for Christmas to be with their families, she knew they would be having a very lovely time anyway.
'
Colt shook his head and waved off the apology. "Nah it is okay Professor. Nothing can stop me from eating." he smirked and began to dive into the delicious food even more. Colt nodded and understood the feeling. "Yeah my mom stole my santa hat. It is back home I forgot to bring it. I will remember next year." He tilted his head in confusion and didn't understand what she was saying. "Wait...you mean that bon bon.....that piece of candy could be a santa hat?" Well he was talking to the transfiguration teacher so anything is possible. He began to dig into his steak when he heard Professor York ask about his holidays.
He chewed a bit more before he answered. He didn't want to spray any food onto her. He swallowed and took a swig of pumpkin juice and replied with, "Oh my holidays are great! This castle is amazing for the holidays. I mean I went to Durmstrang for three years and it wasn't this cool." He began to look around in awe still at all the trees and decorations. "My mother sent me a card and gifts early before the holidays so I am all set." he grinned. She managed to get him a skateboard which he enjoys.

It was nice and warm in the Great Hall, and she was still starving.. but what would she eat next? Hm hmmm..
As soon as she saw Professor York talking to another teacher, he turned his head and noticed a girl was stirring her spoon in a cup. He looked at her for a little bit and observed her. Should he go say hi? He was debating and thought why not. She looked like the same age. "Hey.." he began. Wait a minute that sounded lame. He cleared his throat and introduced himself. "I am Colt. Colt Winchester.." he nodded towards her. "You new here?"

But at least he managed to safe it even though its a poor safe. "Happy Christmas." She mumbled before she sat down next to Colt. "Yes, it look like the opening feast." But BETTER. She hoped they have some foods that she could eat. The one that didn't contain meat and sugar. "Nope. My brother decided to go out on a Guy's Trip with my uncle so here I am. What's your excuse?" She thought Colt was going back home for Christmas. Maybe he wanted to spend Christmas with his lady friend. What's her name again? Kate?
He turned his attention to Candice when she began talking to him after he introduced himself to a new girl. "Yeah it does look like the opening feast but I feel this one is better. I mean the theme is everyone's favorite time of year." He heard why Candice was staying at Hogwarts and he chuckled when she asked about his excuse. "Well I wanted to stay here actually. I mean at home I would be lonely and just be with my mom. I wanted to explore the castle and see what my cousins were talking about. They were not wrong. It is fun to be here and plus Kate is hanging around too." he smirked a little bit. "Get any good presents this year?"

Maybe he should... especially if he continued as plan to eat a ton of food. All that food could get messed up in that beard, you know? He laughed now. "You and me both!'' How about a fist bump, Dot? "The elves would need to keep working to make us all the foods.'' Hehe.
"We don't need the cold to help your nose to get all red. I wonder if the Colour Changing Spell works on human body parts.'' Hmmm? Food for thought there, Benny? Hehe. Adi wiggled his brows at his friend. "I hope you got me a present.'' Nah, just kidding. He wasn't into a present that much. Benny still being his friend was enough and a miracle especially after all the animals he had turned the Gryffindor into.
YAY! He got a giggle out of Janelle! "I would enjoy it more if my friend here would stop moping about,'' the seventh year told her cheerfully but understandingly. "I know you miss your family but you've got me. And the others but mostly me.'' Big brother to the rescue, yo! "I stayed once before. It's really fun! No classwork and just time to relax with your friends? It's awesome! I bet Jasmine will write to you if she hasn't already.''
Adi grinned at Hady. "That wish working well so far,'' he told her with a wink. Of course it was. Pffft. No sibling fighting here. Nope, nope!
"Thanks, Professor! I think I should have changed my hair colour to grey but I can't bring myself to do it.'' Hehe. Moxley did know that her guy Hufflepuffs treasured their hair, riiiiight? "Oh, you look awesome as well.'' Mhmm!
Annnd there was Candice! "Heya, Candy-iiiiice!'' Hehe. Slip of the tongue there. "Happy Christmas!'' Austin and Heather got the 'Happy Christmas' and a big grin each before turning to Mr K. "Thanks! I did but I started reading it again so now I'm halfway through now.'' Haha. "I like looking at the pictures of them. Their shiny coats, their orange eyes...'' Woops. I looked like Adi was going to bore the Librarian. Sorry, Mr K! The Hippogriff obsessed boy/man watched the owl delivered a few Santa letters absently. Griffs... his loves.
Janelle couldn't help but laugh at Adi. He had a way of making things seem better just by being around. "I'm sorry. It's just that I really miss being with my family. This is the first time I've been away from them at Christmas."
When Adi explained how much fun staying at Hogwarts over the holiday could be, she felt a little better. A little. Thinking about her situation for a minute, Janelle realized that things could be worse. "Yeah, I'm lucky that my big brother away from home decided to stay this year." She gave Adi a big hug because........what would she do without him?
When he mentioned Jasmine, Janelle looked at Adi. "You know what? Maybe I can send her an owl." Yes, that would help. If she couldn't be with her sister, at least she could communicate with her. "Thanks for the idea Adi." Starting to perk up a little, Janelle continued talking. "Have you done any of the other Christmas activities. Maybeeeee......I'll help decorate some trees or something." Janelle knew that keeping busy always helped take one's mind off of things.

Hugo was ready to eat everything, literally. He has been preparing for this feast and didn't ate much before to have plenty of room in his stomach. The Great Hall looked good with the trees and decorations but what mattered the most was the delicious food, that's it. And yeah, the presents but that was for Christmas day.
The boy quickly found a seat and started to fill his plate with food, all types. Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, bread and anything else he could find. This was his happy place.
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
SPOILER!!: Yoongi
Cookies from Penelope, Tea from Hady. He was quite the lady’s man wasn’t he?
“Thanks” he said, taking the mug of tea from across the table that the slytherin girl had made. He took a sip, realized that it was too hot and blew on it instead. “How you doing by the way?” he asked. Just trying to keep the conversation going. Since he was horrible at that.
Hady gave a nod to Yoongi and a light smile. "You're welcome." She blew lightly on her own cup of tea before taking a small sip.
Mmm that was good. Very hot yet some good tea.
How was she? The snakette couldn't exactly complain. "I'm doing alright I suppose. How are you? Other then having a cold of course." Hady laughed softly. Colds were horrible especially during a holiday but at least the lion wasn't letting it get him down!
SPOILER!!: Austin
Austin turned towards Hady, taking a bite from a strawberry. "Eh, I normally like Christmas, but I'm just not feeling the spirit this year." He shrugged. There was no need to dampen the mood with the story of his mother. The Ravenclaw was just going to sit here and drink his tea. Maybe chat. "What about you? Enjoying the festive castle?" He did have to admit, the castle did seem brighter than previous years.
As the boy turned her way Hady shifted on her seat to face him as well. His reply made her curious but she wasn't about to ask. That wasn't the Hady way. "Neither am I if I'm to be honest right now," she admitted quietly. The Slytherin took another sip of the warm peppermint tea from the cup she had cradled in her hands. "However I do really like the holiday and it is nice being here amoungst friends." Both new and old.
SPOILER!!: Hugo

The boy quickly found a seat and started to fill his plate with food, all types. Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, bread and anything else he could find. This was his happy place.
And there was another fellow Slytherin joining them at the table. Hady glanced Hugo's way and gave a nod of her head as she greeted him, "Happy Christmas Hugo."

Kaycee was not sure how she felt about having one table. There was something... weird... about sitting so close to people she didn't know.
It made her feel all... social... She wasn't a fan. Forced social interaction wasn't really her thing. Luckily, she spied a person she knew.
She plopped into the seat next to him. "Hey." she said looking around. "Wouldn't it be funny if someone sent a howler instead of a secret santa letter?"

Hugo didn't cared who else was on the table because he was focused on the food. Yeah. He heard someone talking to him, it was Hady. The boy smiled back with his mouth full and before answering, he swallowed. "Thanks Hady. Merry Christmas to you too" oh and "Enjoy the food" very important.

He continued eating until again someone talked to him. Kaycee this time. He gave a what's up nod, "More funny if that howler had a love confession" mhm, everyone in the room would hear that. How embarrassing. "Did you get your secret santa letter?" Hugo asked as he took a bite from his turkey.

Kaycee laughed. "Could you imagine?" It would be HILARIOUS. So much so in fact that she felt the need to demonstrate, just in case Hugo didn't have a good imagination.
"YOU'RE ATTRACTIVE AND I LOVE YOUR FACE." Seeee. Funny.
"I haven't gotten mine yet. Have you gotten yours?" It was pretty safe to assume that if he did, he didn't get a howler love letter. That would have been mentioned.

But OF COURSE Brooklyn was ignoring him. Honestly, he was starting to give up on her though half of him said not to. He shrugged to himself. He would see what happened, how it all played out.
"You're in luck, Dante!'' That camera that had stuck with him ever since the last summer was snugly in his dorm. But not for long! Adi Summoned it and while he waited, he added to his friend, ''Afraid that hats would mess with your hair?'' What was that whistling sound? AHA! It was his camera, he noted as he turned his head. The Puff jumped up to snag it out of the air. Mercifully, it hadn't rammed into anyone. "Say 'Merry Christmas', Dante!'' The camera was ready to snag a picture!
Adi laughed at what Yoongi said. "It might help you to be warm?'' He didn't quite know since he had never taken the potion himself, opting to fight off the cold whenever he got it. Not that he got it quite often. "Hades does have a great suggestion though. Muggle remedies work wonders.'' They did. "Oh, thanks! The beard's great but the mustache is itchy!''Scratch, scratch! HAHAHA! ''I agree. Wouldn't want to hide away your face now, would you?" He figured Yoongi was quite fond of his face.
Boss? Yeeeah, Adi was boss He grinned at his bestie, not at all missing the way the greeting towards everyone had been done extra loudly. Benny was following in his footsteps and being loud? Hmmm. As for the 'boss' comment, he totally got it. Benny was the reindeer and Adi was Santa who was in charge of all the things. "Your red nose is not shining, Rudolph,'' he said, peering at his friend over his specs.
What's this? A SAD looking Janelle on Christmas? NOOOOOO! This couldn't happen! Without a second thought, Adi leapt up from his heat to flop down beside the Claw. He tickled her side. "Happy Christmas!'' He then wrapped his arms around the girl, squishing her. A hug was all that was needed sometimes, right?
Annnnd more arrivals! "Merry and happy Christmas, you lot!'' This was directed to Mr K, Paulina, Moxley, Zander, Culloden, Colt, Beatrice and Cassie.
Hearing a voice Cassie looked up from the group she was sitting with and saw Adi, "Hello, Happy Christmas. How are you doing today?" She figured well with all the activities, but she also couldn't help but wonder why so many stayed back for Christmas instead of going home. "Are you having fun?"
SPOILER!!: Benny

Oh look...there was Professor Morgan...taking a seat beside Mr. Kitridge as predicted. A cute duo enjoying the holiday together. And apparently dealing with some frosting issues with Professor Moxley. "Happy Christmas."
But alas, it was the reaction from Adi that interested him the most. The Gryffindor wasn't thinking anything about the volume of his greetingm having simply tried to get everyone at once...and failing, seeing as so many had actually arrived AFTER him. The Hufflepuff at least got the reference to him being the boss, the toy man leading the reindeer whom he was representing. And it seemed as if Rudolph was the chosen reindeer he was tonight.
"Sorry...no cold at the moment." So no itchy redness occuring naturally and he hadn't thought to spell it red.
She wasn't surprised that the next student she had seen was Benny. Glad to see the two friends getting along again she smiled and gave some snaps. "Happy Christmas Benny, I hope you are having a wonderful day." Her eyes bright with Christmas excitement she glanced towards the trees, "Have you decorated any?" She'd have to get over there and help a little, it would be so fun!
SPOILER!!: Meredith

The buzz of holiday excitement was certainly in the air and all the positive energy was making her feel warm and fuzzy from the top of her perfectly combed head, down to the tips her adorably painted toes (red and green for the holiday, of course).
Cosgrach got a jovial pat on the back when he joined her at the table. They were practically BFFs these days and she was pleased that he was around for this little get together. "The beard suits you, I think." Just saying, though she did wonder if food might get caught in it. Sort of the downside of beards, right? Poor Santa.
York got a tinsel wave from Moxley, who was feeling all sorts of friendly. The Transfiguration professor was looking right at home and that was always nice to see. Mr. Winchester also got a smile, though she didn't want to interrupt their conversation so she left it at that.
Was it odd for so many students to stay for Christmas? Moxley couldn't help but wonder as she watched them chat and exchange holiday greetings and plans. Well, at least if they had to be here, they were going to enjoy it AND with a professor as cool as her around, who could complain?
"And a Happy Christmas to you, Mr. Atreyu!" Good egg, that Benjamin. Moxley was a fan. Aw, and look at little Davie with those glasses and those adorable eyes! "Nice to see you, Mr. Truebridge!" Cue an enthusiastic wave for him, as well as for Ms. Andrews. "Happy Holidays!" And a very happy muggle studies professor, could they tell? "Prefect Rehman, you're looking quite festive!" Needed to fill up on food if he wanted to get the santa look just right, though.
Cassie seemed to be in much better spirits as of late and Meredith was glad for that. She gave the divination professor a big old Moxley grin as she draped her tinsel around her neck, wearing it like a scarf. "Happy Christmas to you, too! It has been smooth sailing, so far. How about your term?"
Getting the frosting off Leo's nose she looked back towards the Badger Head of House, "Well that's good, but I would assume you aren't having any issues with Hufflepuff, we are always a very easy going house." Smiling at the thought of her old house and their great ways. "Yes it's been a very good term so far. The students are just working so hard." Which was her reason for being there
SPOILER!!: Leo

If he thought that Airey had gone all out with his clothing for the christmas feast then Meredith had done the same. From head to toe she spread the christmas spirit around with her reindeer hat and waving gold tinsel. Beaming merrily Leo said as his fellow HoH claimed the seat across from him. "Happy Christmas Meredith! You look very festive. I like the hat." He on the other hand had just gone for the ears. Maybe he could make his tie sparkle festively or something. Raising a hand to touch his face awkwardly, Leo mumbled. "It might be, I made gingerbread men in the kitchen earlier with the elves. Do you like baking?"
"Merry Christmas Cossy!" Leo greeted with a smile across the table at his friend. Curiously he asked "How did you grow your beard so long over night?" Magic obviously or a potion possibly. It could be either considering what his friend taught. "How has term been so far?" Leo would have liked to visit his friend more regularly but work kept getting in the way. He promised himself to make a visit to the dungeons after the holidays were over.
"Merry Christmas Benny!" Leo greeted over the table to the lion that had taken up camp next to his best buddy in Hufflepuff. "How has your 7th year been so far? Any memorable classes?"
"Happy Christmas David!" Leo directed with a big beam to Annie's son across the table. "How has your first year been so far?"
"Happy Christmas Brooklyn!" Leo with a merry smile to the snakette with a little wave over the table. "Are you looking forward to eating some christmas food soon?" He was that was for sure. Baking had made him hungry.
When Cassie arrived Leo beamed up warmly at her saying "Merry Christmas Cassie!" As she slipped into the seat next to him, he reached over to lace his left hands fingers with hers. A small but affectionate gesture. He couldn't kiss her with so many students in close proximity so this would have to do. Leo was glad that she looked happy and cheerful. Beaming he agreed with her. "Christmas is definitely the best time of the year. I even got some baking time in." Which was why he had frosting in his face. Awkward. Cassie enjoyed it though and even giggled as she removed some from his nose. "Do I have frosting anywhere else?"
"Happy Christmas Adi!" Leo directed to the puff prefect as he caught the 7th years gaze. "Did you finish that book on Hippogriffs that you borrowed from the library?" He wondered curiously. If he had could he be persuaded to write something short about it for others?
Taking his hand under the table she gave it a little squeeze. She couldn't wait to give him his gifts later on, she really hoped he like what she had gotten him this year. "It is, I just love it. All the decorations are so wonderful and it is so nice to have this for the students who can't go back. I'm so glad we stayed to help out." Though she would have to check on family at some point, she was very glad she got to stay.
Examining his face she shook her head, "Nope, I think I got it all." A giggle leaving her lips as she took a goblet and a sip of eggnog.
SPOILER!!: Penelope

She had baked a wide variety of cookies, just like her grandmother always did at Christmas. You could never have too many cookies at Christmas. There was always someone there to eat them.
"Merry Christmas, Mr. Kitridge!" Penelope greeted the Ravenclaw head of house and librarian. "Professor Cassie! Merry Christmas!" Professor Cassie was her favorite professor, and it was really cute how she was dating Mr. Kitridge, her head of house and other favorite staff member.
There was Yoongi! "Hey Yoongi! Merry Christmas!. Nice Reindeer ears." Penelope smiled at Yoongi. "Do you want a cookie?" She pushed the tray of cookies a little closer to him.
Seeing another student Cassie grinned and gave a wave, "Penelope, hello dear. Happy Christmas. How is your day going?" Did they all get presents to open? That would make the day even better, but she hadn't gotten any students gifts, should she have? Sniffing the air a bit she grinned, [b] "I love the smell of cookies, don't you?"[/'b] Now if she could just get her hands on one of the items.
