This year, the elves are in a baking frenzy! Will you come and help them bake up a storm? They have laid out the recipes from Gingerbread Men and Christmas Shortbread to any Christmas baking recipe you can think of. As you enter the kitchen, you will see the house elves running around, getting out the ingredients and equipment, turning on the ovens, and laying out the aprons. Come on in, choose a work bench, and get started. The house elves are here to lend you a hand.

It was a scary, scary thought, thinking that MAYBE, just MAYBE, he would want more out of that, but that was what going on dates and stuff was for, right? He grinned as Grace joined him, which was perfect since he had this AWESOME idea that was going to put into play that would go down in history as the coolest way EVER to make a move, but then...someone had to BUTT IN.
Wrinkling his eyebrows, Caleb looked over at Frankie, who...was older than he remembered now. True, he hadn't interacted with the boy since he had been like...10, if he remembered correctly, but still. He had to pick NOW to come back and have a conversation with him? UGH.
"Happy Christmas, Frankie. You two enjoying your time here in the castle for Christmas? I figured I'd do it, at least once, before I'm gone for good, you know?" he said with a smile. His super adorable awesome plan would have to wait for just a bit.

She didn't know when she had started to feel like this about Caleb, when he had gone from a child hood friend to something more, but she kind of liked it. She wasn't sure if he felt the same though. So face staring was very much off of the cards.
She really needed to find out if he felt the same. Because she didn't want to waste time on someone who didn't feel the same. Maybe she could ask now. She'd think about it. She was about to say something else when she heard the annoying droning of her brother. Ugh. Franklin didn't have the best timing.
"Not my fault Mom and Dad made you stay..." The sixth girl murmured, shaking her head. She hadn't thought that they'd make him stay just because she was. It wasn't like he was 10 any more. "This is my first time staying too..." She mused, glancing up at Caleb, and smiling a little. She may or may not have had a little bit of hearts eye. "We usually go home... but I fancied a change this year." One that her brother clearly didn't like. Oh well. Tough luck.

Frankie had a big present of payback just waiting to be unwrapped due to a ruined Christmas all thanks to Grace.
"It is so your fault that I'm stuck here," he snapped back at his sister with a deadly glare. "I wouldn't be here had you decided to go home rather than stay here so you can add another victim to your snog list." Oh, did he just say that? Frankie glanced over at Caleb. Surely the Slytherin Prefect knew that was her entire reason for staying behind, right? If he didn't, he wasn't very bright. But if he did know and was playing along ... then his father would be hearing about it.
Frankie tried not to snort when Caleb asked if Grace and him were enjoying their time at the castle. Did it look like he was enjoying himself? "I'd rather be at home with my other sister than stuck here with the one I don't like." He bet Grace didn't even get him a present to make up for them having to spend Christmas at Hogwarts. "Not that it matters, I guess. She'll probably be too busy trying to get you under the mistl-"
And cue the Transfiguration professor. "I'm no good at baking, Professor York. Which is why my sister here is baking my favourite Christmas cookies for me. Turns out she didn't get anything for me this year, you see." If you didn't count him not being able to go home because she decided to stay behind, that is. The fourth year let out a little pout. See how awful of a sister Grace Paton was?

Reason: Grammar fails.
If there were two things Austin was good at, it was potions and baking. They were pretty much the same thing, just one tasted better. And since he was in a weird mood this Christmas, he was going to take it out on baking. Mainly because he was out of ingredients, and he wasn't sure when he would be able to make it in the potions classroom again.
Walking in, he found a few students had already arrived. He didn't know any of them, so instead, he grabbed an apron, and grabbed a workbench. On it were ingredients and recipes. He found a good one for some gingerbread cookies, but they seemed really bland, and he wanted to spice them up a little. Eh, he'd come up with that part later. For now he needed to bake. He grabbed some ingredients, a mixing bowl, and a whisk, and started.

"I just wish I could get someone to owl Baldwin here for me," Caleb said with a chuckle. He was sort of joking - but mostly serious. He missed his crup! Looking down at the cookie he had started to decorate before Frankie came over and RUINED everything, he changed his design idea and instead decided to just do a basic Christmas tree. Taking green frosting, he squeezed a big glop of it over the "Wi - " he'd started to write out for Grace and quickly smeared it into the green. There. All fixed.

And now there was a professor. To make it even MORE awkward. He smiled at her politely though. "I'm doing a Christmas tree," he told her before looking back down at it and continuing to smooth out the green frosting he had globbed on there. It was going to be one heck of a sugar rush when he finally ate his cookie, but he was NOT complaining at all.

THIS was why Caleb did not get along with the youngest Paton. Because he was obviously mental. He wrinkled his eyebrows and stopped decorating his cookie to stare at the kid. He had a secret SNOGGING list? Well this was news to him. Where did he go to get involved in it?!
"I'm sorry, WHAT?" he asked. He was slowly starting to see why his dad didn't get along with HIS dad when he had been at school. Nutters, all of them. Well, the males were. Not the females, obviously. Grace wasn't even REALLY a Paton by blood, he had to remember that. Huh. This was really going to tick his dad off when he told him, wasn't it? Oh man, he had to of course pick his father's rival's step-daughter to have a crush on...
Wait, his brain was going on a tangent. He could worry about that later. BACK TO WHAT THE KID WAS SAYING. Was he about to say mistletoe?
Oh geez. This was embarrassing. Probably even MORE embarrassing for poor Grace. He bit his lip and glanced at her, trying to telepathically ask her if she had any idea how to get rid of her annoying brother so they could talk about this whole MISTLETOE business because he was NOT about to do it with him around...

Professor York and Mr. Kitridge were both so nice. Paulina smiled at them. Hopefully she wouldn't end up burning the kitchen down because then they might not be so happy with her. At least there were house elves around to keep things in check because she could not guarantee that she'd do a good job of it.
"I was thinking of making gingerbread men, or I could help you like Mr. Kitridge suggested?" Honestly she would prefer that because it meant there was a smaller chance of them ending up with misshapen and burnt gingerbread men. Paulina shouldn't even be allowed here.

Hearing a voice come from somewhere beside her Hady turned her head to look back over her shoulder. "Oh! Hello Professor York, I'm doing alright thank you. You're welcome to join me if you'd like...In fact anyone whom wants to help me with some peppermint cookies and rice crispy treats is more then welcome to." The snake gave a warm smile towards the Professor as she gather together the peppermint candies into a small bag and began to crush them into tiny pieces. That would be used to sprinkle across the top of the rice crispy treats once they were finished.

Grace was not a happy person right now. Couldn't be brother just leave well enough alone? She was so going to be owling their mother later. This was not fair. She didn't know that her Mother would make him stay at school just because she did. "Franklin!" Grace murmured, shaking her head. Caleb did not need to know about the snog list. And anyway, she really didn't want to add Caleb to to the snog list. She was long past that list, and anyway Caleb meant a lot more than a simple snog.
She bit her lip, glancing up at Caleb. She hoped that Frankie would shut up because she did not need Caleb knowing about that list. Even though there wasn't really that many people on the list. Not ones that she had actually snogged anyway. But there was only one guy that she wanted to now. And Frankie was getting in the way.
"Hey!" Grace murmured, shaking her head as she looked at her brother. "I did get you something!" Of course she got him something. She wasn't a mean brother. "But I am baking for him...." She mused, smiling up at the Professor. "Frankie sucks at baking" And she wouldn't want him to get sick. Or would she? The brunette smiled, looking at the little christmas tree she was decorating. "I love cookies."
And now back to Caleb. She smiled up at him. "Wanna go get something to eat once we've done our cookies?"

Oh no! The gingerbread man was no more. Frankie eyed the handiwork of his sister and Caleb, wondering why they were being so slow at this cookie baking thing. Christmas wasn't going to last forever, you know. Being the impatient Gryffindor that he was, Frankie scooped up a finger of frosting and stuck it in his mouth. Mmm. So sweet and delicious.
A mischievous grin appeared on the blond's face at Caleb's reaction to the revelation of Grace's not-so-secret song list. How could he not know about that? Everyone did. Or, at least, he and the friends he told knew about it because it was his duty to tell that kind of stuff to people and embarrass the living daylights out of his sister when word got around. It was surprising that the beans hadn't been spilt to Mum and Dad after all this time. At least not yet.
Instead of repeating what he said to Caleb, Frankie simply continued to scoop up frosting with his finger. He trusted that the older boy heard him correctly the first time since he didn't stutter and all he had in his mouth at the time was the arm of a gingerbread man. But he did give the Slytherin a you-heard-me look and mouthed 'my Dad will jinx you if you two snog' before turning to his sister.
"I don't suck," he corrected, rolling his eyes. "I'm just not patient enough for baking." As made clear by the frosting sneaking, which he had stopped doing to avoid getting a stomach ache until he devoured all those cookies that were being made for him. Heh. "And what was that about you getting me a present, Grace?" Did that mean he had to get one for her now? Crap.

Sophie bounced into the room with snowflakes quickly melting from her hair. The air was warm and smelled of holiday goods. Baking was one of her favorite things! Her mum was a baker so she had had plenty of practice.
Making her way over to an empty spot she noticed another Gryffindor near her. She smiled at him, she thought she had seen him before in the common room perhaps. But Sophie was so quiet so hardly anybody knew her.
After Sophie had gathered her supplies, she quickly and efficiently created the batter for her favorite holiday cookies-everybody loved her fudge crinkles! By this point there was a small bit of flour on her face and she was really getting into making these cookies! Once they were baked she would have to send some home to her parents!
Barny was sure he wasn't supposed to be in the kitchen, but... hey, the window was open and he had a task to do. A most important task. The tasks didn't just disappear when the recipient was hard to find, but Barny found him. Yes he did, he was right there. In fact, Barny dove through the window towards the boy.
And landed on a baking tray.
What are wands for, if not to use to clean things?

The first place he was headed was obviously the baking table. COOKIES! He was so ready to start decorating some cookies - and then stuffing them all in his mouth in about five seconds.
Barny simultaneously held out his foot with an envelope marked 'Caleb' whilst bending down to peck at some specks on the counter. Mmm gingerbread crumbs.

Brushing her hair out of her face, Olympia sneezed as flour got up her nose. "Oh.. She then wiped her face, succeeding in only getting more flour onto it. The third year shrugged, but left the flour where it was. She could clean herself up later.
Grabbing the bag of chocolate chips close to her, she tore it open with her teeth and tipped some of the contents into her mixture.
With the wooden spoon she already had beside her, Olympia began to mix. She thought she would keep it simple and make chocolate chip cookies. Maybe she could find some pretty ribbon and packaging somewhere so she could give some as presents..
The Gryffindor spotted Toddles appear as more students came into the room and gave her a wave.

Help with the shortbread? Well.... "I can say that I am not really good in baking, Professor B." The young lioness confessed to the Transfiguration Professor. In fact, she's gonna destroy the baking by replacing the real frosting with the toothpaste. Yup. "But.... I think I'm just gonna help Mr. Kittridge to decorate the gingerbread men." Then she turned back to the librarian.
Colored frosting? "Are you not gonna use the white one? I think we're still gonna need the white frosting, sir." But well, if the librarian wanted the colored one, okay. Ava then waved on Toddles. "Toddles, could you please give us colored frosting?" She asked.
And... her head of house was here, asking some cookies. "Do you want some gingerbread men, Admiral?" Hehehe. "I think we already have some fresh-baked ones... I can decorate it if you want." With the secret frosting that she had prepared of course.

Toddles hears anothers mistress asks Toddles things. Toddles turns head and hears mistress asks Toddles for helps. Toddles beams and nods. "Toddles likes to helps. Toddles will helps. What cookies does mistress wants?" Toddles needs to knows cookies.

Ohhh! YAY!!!!
Toddles said he would help her with baking her cookies! Hady stopped crushing up her bag of peppermint candies and smiled brightly at the little effie. This made her really excited! So much so she wanted to hug him right then but she didn't. Yet.
"Wonderful! I'm making peppermint cookies today. My family always bakes them everyday Christmas." This was true and she loved it. Baking them. The scent of them. Eating them! Just everything about it.

Watching Beatrice take up a work bench a few spots down from him he grinned in response. "That's the plan, what do you plan to bake?"
"Merry Christmas Ava!" Leo greeted the lioness with big beam as the first year girl joined him and Beatrice in the kitchen. Nodding he said "As a matter of fact I'm planning to make and decorate gingerbread men. You are welcome to help me if you want? I see you've already found the frosting so that's a start. We need more than one colour though. Can you see if the elves has got some more colours than just white frosting?" Leo wanted the cookies to look festive so they needed more than one coloured frosting.
"Merry Christmas Paul!" Leo greeted as the herbology professor came over to sit by him. "Can you start to melt butter and then brush it out on 2 baking trays?" Baking was more fun when you did it together with someone so Leo didn't mind putting Paul to work. Fetching a bowl and all the ingredients he needed Leo started the process of making the dough by blending everything together with the help of his wand. "How come you decided to stay at Hogwarts over Christmas?" Or was that a too private question?
If it was anyone that would go extreme on Christmas it'd be Airey. So Leo wasn't very surprised when Ariey made his entrance in the kitchen looking like Santa's brother with beard and everything. Smiling merrily Leo said "Merry Christmas Airey! Paul and I are making gingerbread men. What is your favourite Christmas cookie or dessert?"
The next student to arrive in the kitchen was one of Meredith's house. Beaming he said "Merry Christmas Paulina! I'm sure Prof Beatrice wouldn't mind some help with her bake." Since Christmas baking was supposed to be something you did together with others. It was more fun that way and raised the holiday spirit. Now they just needed to start singing carols.
Making sure Pebbles had not lost her hat, again, the astronomer strolled towards Leobald. "As long as it is not burnt, I like it," he chuckled. Even then, chances were that he would eat it anyway. "Although, since you asked Mr. Kitridge," he continued with a curious glance in the general direction of anyone with any real baking skills. And forgive him for the formalities, but he was unwilling to sacrifice them in the presence of students. Even at something as festive as this Christmas celebration. "During a holiday conference last year there was a delightful croquembouche and an equally impressive Buche de Noel. If I had to pick something."
A horrid side effect to having an astronomy conference in France. Desserts were beyond impressive. No offense, house elves.
SPOILER!!: Beatrice

Beatrice couldn't help but grin at Paul. He was always so happy and friendly. She did a tiny little curtsy, laughing as she did so. "As do you Paul, very good. I love your jumper!"
And what an entrance Airey was making. Beatrice grinned at him, LOVING his outfit. Indeed who had cookies for santa? "Hello Airey, Merry Christmas," Beatrice greeted. "I don't have any finished ones yet, but I'm sure there will be some shortbread shortly." As soon as she finished, and baked them.
And there was another one working alone, which was fine with Beatrice. "How are you going over there Hady? Do you need a hand with anything?" she asked, but saw Toodles.
And then Caleb, Grace, Phillip and Fanklin entered. "Merry Christmas you lot! What goodies are you thinking of baking?" Beatrice asked them as they came in.
"I'm excellent thank you Leo! How could I be any way on such a lovely wintery Christmas day?" It had been by far one of Beatrice's favourite mornings in the castle, the warm heated winter feel in her bedroom, and snow on the windows. "I'm whipping together some shortbread now. I don't know what I'll do next, but we'll see how time goes. It's been a while since I baked the old muggle way." Usually it was her and her wand.
"Good evening, Professor York," he saluted. Shortbread? Why certainly! "I will gladly be your taste tester. Can you answer something for me? Why are they called shortbread? They don't appear any shorter to me than other biscuits."

The snake gave a warm smile towards the Professor as she gather together the peppermint candies into a small bag and began to crush them into tiny pieces. That would be used to sprinkle across the top of the rice crispy treats once they were finished.
Did some one say....
"Rice Krispies Treats?!" the man chirped as he bound over towards the Slytheirn. "You're in luck. I happen to have on my person some gourmet marshmallows sent just this morning from my sister. I do believe they would make for the perfect incredient. And in a variety of flavors!"
Which was his way of inviting himself to be your taste tester as well. You're welcome!

Then she turned back to the librarian.
Colored frosting? "Are you not gonna use the white one? I think we're still gonna need the white frosting, sir." But well, if the librarian wanted the colored one, okay. Ava then waved on Toddles. "Toddles, could you please give us colored frosting?" She asked.
And... her head of house was here, asking some cookies. "Do you want some gingerbread men, Admiral?" Hehehe. "I think we already have some fresh-baked ones... I can decorate it if you want." With the secret frosting that she had prepared of course.
Well...he was hardly going to say no to that!
"It would be my pleasure," he saluted the first year, although he did give a lingering glance towards the ceiling and the owl as it swooped in and out. "As long as there are no owl droppings included."

Hady beamed at Professor Airey. "Hello Professor! That would be wonderful, would you happen to have peppermint ones?" Or mint. Either would do really. Cause it wasn't the holidays with some form or peppermint! Just the scent alone made Hady get into the whole wonderful season.

Owl droppings? Oh, Ava just realized that there was an owl landed on a baking tray. Uh oh. "Don't worry, Admiral. We still have some fresh baked of gingerbread men that hadn't been touched by the owl." She said. "If you don't mind. Let them cool for a while and then I'll decorate it with the frosting first, then you can have them." Could the admiral see the devil's horn on her head? Nope, because she was wearing reindeer's ears, hehehe.

Oh look, the colored frostings were already here. "Thank you, Toddles!" The young lioness said to the elf. Okay, time to decorate the gingerbread! Ava grabbed a tray of fresh gingerbread men that had been cooled down and started to decorate it with the frosting. First, she put on the white toothpaste frosting for the eyes and mouth. And then she decorated it with the other colors. Hopefully the astronomer wouldn't be suspicious if there's a scent of peppermint on the frosting. Come on, it's Christmas and peppermint scent was common, right?
"Here you go, Admiral." She offered them to Flamsteed.

Barney was back! Swooping into the Great Hall with two letters for students attached to his legs. Flapping with his wings, he swooped over towards the baking section.

Some might say she was a little over dressed.... But hello.... Her name was Noelle. Christmas was her favorite time of the year!!
So when baking was announced, of course that's what she went to first, and that tree decorating was second on her list, but she wanted some good ol' cookies first. Heading up to the station, she looked it over, and a plan slowly started to form in her head for cookies.
Spotting his first recipient Barney, flew over and tried his best to land gracefully on the small desk. He only managed partly since he got his beak stuck in a sack of flower. Sneezing he stuck his leg out towards the girl with the letter titled 'Noelle'. Hopefully she'd untie it without haste.
SPOILER!!: Secret Santa Letter
Ode to Noelle
Because it is Christmas at Hogwarts,
I’ve been chosen to write her some prose,
To compliment, praise and revere her,
She’ll blush like a delicate rose.
She’s a joy to all lucky to know her,
There is none who is fairer of face,
She’s cute, and she’s kind, and she’s bubbly,
Her name is Noelle Grace.
Her presence is always delightful,
Her company ever a charm,
My life is improved just to know her,
That beautiful girl from the farm.
I wish for her nothing but sunshine,
Her days filled with rapture and joy,
She deserves every kind of happiness,
When cupid, his arrows deploy.
Because it is Christmas at Hogwarts,
I’ll stop and take pause just to say,
All those who know you, adore you
and send mistletoe kisses your way.
Secret Santa xx

Ava Burton,
Your name rhymes with curtain. Which is pretty cool. It wouldn't really make a good song, but it's still pretty cool. I find your antics amusing. Please continue them. I'll continue to just laugh from afar. It is safer that way. Congrats on being a first year that is not overly annoying. Also, congrats on the hair. You have pretty nice hair.
Keep doing you. I look forward to seeing how you turn out.
Have a good Christmas,
Your Secret Santa

"I was thinking of making gingerbread men, or I could help you like Mr. Kitridge suggested?" Honestly she would prefer that because it meant there was a smaller chance of them ending up with misshapen and burnt gingerbread men. Paulina shouldn't even be allowed here.
Sometimes an owl was in luck. Turning a feather or two came lose as Barney spotted his last recipient. Walking over towards her he stuck his beak out with the letter titled 'Paulina' attached. Unfortunatley he had knocked over both sugar bowls and salt bowls in his eagerness to deliver the letter. Hopefully someone cake wasn't ruined now?
SPOILER!!: Secret Santa Letter
Dear Paulina,
You are my good luck
My pot of gold beneath the rainbow
But, hey you ARE the rainbow
Your colors always warm my soul
HAPPY CHRISTMAS! I hope you have a joyful and wonderful holiday!

Peppermint...peppermint...
You know...he quite possibly did have those at one point today. But they went SO well with hot chocolate - a guilty pleasure that he favored over his usual brew of Earl grey during the holidays - that he may have accidentally consumed them all. Not that Miss Lynch needed to know that.
"I .... let me see," he said as he rummaged through the velvet red sack containing the marshmallows that he had extrapolated from his enchanted breast pocket. "I have a delightful batch of eggnog marshmallows...and these green ones, well, don't let them fool you. They taste just like gingerbread."
He wasn't sure why the green color...but it was what was on the label. Unless they were actually the gag flavored wasabi ones Daphne always tried to sneak into the mix.

Eyeing the owl carefully as it swooped in and out several more times, even dropping off something for the Gryffindor, the Astronomy professor batted away a few stray feathers and turned his attention away from the young lady's artistic endeavors.
Or the toothpaste. Which DID have a very distinct smell, peppermint or not. But it went unnoticed.
"Ah, thank you, Miss Burton. Gingerbread has such an overpowering delightful flavor. Haven't had it since....oh...last Christmas I suppose. This will be a real treat," he saluted her before accepting the cookie. "Here you are, my dear," he chirped while gleefully offering Pebbles the first bite before turning the baked delight towards his own mouth; head first. The whole head was in his mouth at once, snapping off just a little below the shoulders, and quickly devours. The torso and legs soon followed. "That was quite delicious. You should enjoy one of your creations as well. "
What? The man liked peppermint.

Oh Dear.
Beatrice could.. sense? something not quite right between the Paton siblings and Caleb. Beatrice let out a small sigh and went to pat the poor dear, Franklin, on the shoulder. "Well I'm sorry you have to stay at Hogwarts over the holidays. But... we've got some fun things planned so I do hope you enjoy yourself anyway." She really hoped so. Not being happy over Christmas was like... the WORST. And apparently he was no good at baking? "Oh, well whilst Grace is baking you those cookies, would you like to help me with these shortbread? The dough is all done, I just need to roll them." Plus she wanted to take his mind off the fighting. Try to...
She smiled and nodded as Caleb said he was making a Christmas Tree, and Grace confirmed that Frankie was, apparently, rubbish at baking. Pfft. "They look delicious," she said, looking at her work. Well, they all did. Plus, Beatrice could very much relate to Grace. She loved cookies too.
Noticing another few students walking in, Beatrice smiled and waved. "Merry Christmas Austin, and Sophie," she said happily, starting to roll her shortbread. After a while, she looked back up and saw Sophie with some flour on her face, which brought a smile to Beatrice's face. It wasn't baking unless flour got everywhere! "What are you baking over there Sophie?" she asked.
But Sophie wasn't the only one with a flour problem. Glancing up she saw Olympia with a nice smudge on her face too. It was all so much fun!
Paulina had offered to help bake some Shortbread, "Well I'm just rolling the dough out now, ready to bake. Then I'll be all finished! Did you want to get started on those Gingerbread Men and I'll come over once I'm done?" Because she LOVED Gingerbread Men too.
Beatrice just had to stop what she was doing and walk over to Hady's bench space to look at her assortment of things. Did she say peppermint cookies and rice crispy treats? "Oh Hady that sounds delicious! Let me just finish this and I can give you a hand." She went back over to keep rolling her dough. "Do you cook those at home too?"
AND THERE WAS AN OWL IN THE KITCHEN? Beatrice looked up as she saw the owl fly through the window and land on someone's bench space. She'd never fancied owls very much, actually, and she was prepared to use her body as a shield for her baking in case the owl came any closer....
Beatrice nodded at Ava's decision to help decorate the cookies. "Good idea," she said. One didn't have to be good at baking to be good at decorating, and she watched Ava decorate a cookie and hand it to Airey, who seemed to enjoy it. She offered the lass a thumbs up for a great job at decorating those cookies.
Beatrice couldn't help but laugh at Airey's question. "You know what? I have no idea. None at all. Perhaps something to do with the shortening... the butter?" Or whoever had first baked them was short?
Flying into the Great Hall Barney gave off a grumble in his throat. It was still snowing. It made letter delivering more difficult.

Oh MERLIN, this was AMAZING. KITCHENS! NOW HE COULD GET SNACKS AAAAAAAAAANYTIME HE WANTED.
While his stomach let out a small rumble, the Slytherin slithered -- AHAHAHA -- his way past people, looking this way and that. He wasn't looking for an apron, or even a recipe of any kind. Nooooooo! That would require WORK and he was in the mood to EAT. So, he was looking for a vic......... uh, person. Yeah, that's what he was looking for.
Phillip put on his most innocent smile as he made his way over towards an older looking girl who stood out amongst the others. Not surprised because her hair was making her the OPPOSITE of sneaky. More like a torch in the darkness. Yeah, THAT.
"Whaaaaaaatcha making?" he asked, sliding in next to her.
Spotting his only recipient for this time around Barney swooped towards the human boy. Seeing no place to land, he panicked wing flapping excessivly before he landed on the desk causing cutlery and ingredients to fly in every direction. Coming up on his feet a little rockily he stuck his left leg out towards the boy with the letter titled 'Phillip'.
SPOILER!!: Secret Santa Letter
Dear Phillip,
Happy Christmas, and congratulations once again on becoming a Slytherin. I know it might seem a little bit overwhelming, but you're doing great so far! Or, at least, you haven't died or gone to detention or been kidnapped by a giant spider (those things sometimes happen, no big deal). I wanted to give you a few secrets about Hogwarts as your Christmas present from me:
1) When they say don't go into the Forbidden Forest, it means don't go in ALONE. And by not alone, I mean take an adult - and pick a good one. Dakest will keep you alive, but Flamsteed might feed you to a dragon himself.
2) There is no pool or lift at Hogwarts, no matter WHO tries to sell you a pass to one.
3) If you're ever late to class, hint to the professor that you've just come from the loo and something unfortunate happened there. They don't ask questions and will usually back off.
4) Try not to be late to class, though.
5) Remember to take a bath more often than you think you should, and always comb your hair. It's super embarrassing when no one wants to sit next to you because you stink.
6) There's always plenty of food at meals, so you don't have to stock up for later. Also, chicken wings do NOT keep well under the bed.
7) If you haven't tried the pineapple upside down cake, you should go to the kitchens right NOW. It's in the corridor off the Entrance Hall and you tickle the pear portrait to get inside.
8) Make a best friend and never ever let them down.
9) You can be friends with me, but I demand the right to paint your nails occasionally.
Happy Christmas again, and let me know if I can ever ever do something to help you settle in. Eat pudding until you get sick!

Hady stopped smashing the candies as she watched Professor Airey remove the velvet bag from his pocket. Nice! Eggnog marshmallows? And green gingerbread ones too? She'd never seen those before but surely with the Christmas season she could somehow fit them into her rice crispy treats.
"Those will work just great, Professor. Thank you!" She grinned happily. No doubt would he be earning some of her special holiday treats once she had them finished.
SPOILER!!: Professor York
Beatrice just had to stop what she was doing and walk over to Hady's bench space to look at her assortment of things. Did she say peppermint cookies and rice crispy treats? "Oh Hady that sounds delicious! Let me just finish this and I can give you a hand." She went back over to keep rolling her dough. "Do you cook those at home too?"
Turning her head when Professor York came over she smiled up at her. "Thank you, Professor. I'd love the extra help." The more help the better really. With more people helping out she'd be able to make even more of the peppermint treats! That meant more to go around and everyone could give them a try. "Oh yes, every year. I bake them with my parents." It was a nice tradition she wouldn't pass up just because she stayed behind at the school this year.

While she was offering the gingerbread men to the Astronomy professor, suddenly there was an owl coming to her. He did bring an envelope that has her name on it. Okay, maybe it's her secret Santa letter? The young lioness then grabbed it from the owl. "Thank you! And this is for you." She fed the owl with a gingerbread cookies... Kinda forgot that she frosted them ALL with the toothpaste.
Maybe she's gonna read the letter later.
Back to Flamsteed. It seemed like he wasn't suspicious about the cookies. Great!! And.... WHAT??? HE WANTED HER TO EAT SOME OF THEM TOO? Well.... Oh look, she hadn't offered those cookies to the others! "Professor B, would you like some?" Hehehe... "Isn't that rude to eat your own creation before offer it to other else?" She said to Flamsteed.

"Great," Beatrice said, putting the first batch of Shortbread into the oven to bake. Once that was done, she washed her hands and headed over to Hady. "What can I do?" she asked. After all, Hady baked them each year with her parents, so Beatrice didn't want to just jump on in there and start fiddling with something that wasn't her recipe. #Disaster?

Ahh and Ava was offering her some of the gingerbread men. Delicious! "Oh thank you Ava," Beatrice said, pouring herself a cup of milk to go with the cookies. "I LOVE gingerbread men." How sweet of her to offer a cookie before she had even had one. Beatrice could never wait that long.
She took a big bite out a white frosted gingerbread man and after a few chews, paused. Swallowed. Tried VERY HARD not to frown. Cleared her throat... "Oh um... These... these are w-wonderful dear. Just..."AHEM, "Just wonderful." Out of politeness, she couldn't bring herself to tell the first year that they tasted JUST BLOODY AWFUL. "Mmmmm," she said again, taking a few very large mouthfuls of milk.

There really wasn't all to much more to be done but Hady smiled anyhow liking that she had some company while baking. "If you like you can help me mix up the ingredients before scooping them out onto the pan." Everything was pretty much already in the bowls to be mixed up. Hady passed one of the bowls over to Professor York. After the mixing they could put the cookie mix on baking pans and add the peppermint candies.

And anyway, she really didn't want to add Caleb to to the snog list. She was long past that list, and anyway Caleb meant a lot more than a simple snog.
She bit her lip, glancing up at Caleb. She hoped that Frankie would shut up because she did not need Caleb knowing about that list. Even though there wasn't really that many people on the list. Not ones that she had actually snogged anyway. But there was only one guy that she wanted to now. And Frankie was getting in the way.
"Hey!" Grace murmured, shaking her head as she looked at her brother. "I did get you something!" Of course she got him something. She wasn't a mean brother. "But I am baking for him...." She mused, smiling up at the Professor. "Frankie sucks at baking" And she wouldn't want him to get sick. Or would she? The brunette smiled, looking at the little christmas tree she was decorating. "I love cookies."
And now back to Caleb. She smiled up at him. "Wanna go get something to eat once we've done our cookies?"
Hehe. This was kind of cute. Grace being all EMBARRASSED and whatnot by her pesky brother. He could only imagine how Sophie would be reacting right now if she had decided to stick around for the holidays - but she had wanted to go home, probably because aside from Caleb, she didn't like anyone else who had stuck around very much - at least not enough to stay. Which was so typical Sophie.
"Yes please," he said with a grin. Maybe he'd get to do his little cookie thing after all! Hehe.

A mischievous grin appeared on the blond's face at Caleb's reaction to the revelation of Grace's not-so-secret song list. How could he not know about that? Everyone did. Or, at least, he and the friends he told knew about it because it was his duty to tell that kind of stuff to people and embarrass the living daylights out of his sister when word got around. It was surprising that the beans hadn't been spilt to Mum and Dad after all this time. At least not yet.
Instead of repeating what he said to Caleb, Frankie simply continued to scoop up frosting with his finger. He trusted that the older boy heard him correctly the first time since he didn't stutter and all he had in his mouth at the time was the arm of a gingerbread man. But he did give the Slytherin a you-heard-me look and mouthed 'my Dad will jinx you if you two snog' before turning to his sister.
"I don't suck," he corrected, rolling his eyes. "I'm just not patient enough for baking." As made clear by the frosting sneaking, which he had stopped doing to avoid getting a stomach ache until he devoured all those cookies that were being made for him. Heh. "And what was that about you getting me a present, Grace?" Did that mean he had to get one for her now? Crap.
Had...he just mouthed something to him? Caleb couldn't make out many words except "dad" and "snog". It was too long of a sentence for him to lip read. But he figured it was probably something along the lines of his dad not liking him, and probably not liking if he snagged Grace....BUT whatever. Seth Paton didn't scare him.
Maybe he scared his DAD, but not Caleb!
