As you enter The Great Hall you will notice a lot of Christmas Trees. No, you haven't been transported into the Hogwarts Grounds. Groundskeeper McLeod is busy bringing in the trees, but they look a little bare. The House Elves are still busy bringing up boxes of Christmas decorations from storage and setting them down at the Staff Dais. Watch out for Groundskeeper McLeod and the House Elves as they are still bringing in more trees and decorations.. So come on in, pick a tree and decorate it! Remember to wear your hat, though.

Even with being careful, Paul was still a bit surprised he hadn't dropped any of the ornaments...it was practically a miracle! A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!
Pfffft.
He waved at Miss Burton casually. "It's fine, m'dear. I hope you're enjoying the Christmas Feast thus far! I love all the festiveness of it all...Christmas time is just...one of the best times of year!"
Woah, glad that Professor Myers was such an easy going person. Seriously, sometimes it's quite difficult to control her verbal function and she often blurted out once there's something popped on her head. "I do! I love Christmas and this is my first Christmas at Hogwarts!" The young lioness beamed. Weird maybe, while the others preferred to spend Christmas with their family but she decided to stay. Fortunately than her parents didn't have a problem with that. "Do you need any help or something, Professor?" She offered a help.

While she decided to give Professor Myers a help, Ava noticed that there's something bright and shiny, also twinkle-y flying around the Christmas tree. EEEEEEEEPPPPPPP!!!!! Was that a fairy? Like the real fairy? And by real, she meant not the one that always be on muggle's fairy tale.

Blushing a little though, she couldn’t help the grin she shot at him as he called her beautiful. ”YOU are biased, bro.” She said, lovingly as she attempted to bump their hips together, but really she just butted his thigh.
Oh!
”Yes! I want.... to decorateee…” She started as she looked up and down the hall at the empty trees - but just as she went to reply, Mr McLeod came into the Great Hall too. WITH ANOTHER TREE. ”That one! Mr McLeod, can I decorate that tree? It’s so tall! Adi, look how tall it is? Isn’t it beautiful?” She bounced on her toes, taking Adi’s hand before pulling him after the Groundskeeper.
This was their tree. Everyone else could decorate another one. Teeheee.

"HO, HO, HO. HAAAPPPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!" Now that his entrance was out of the way, "'Cuse me, ladies and gents. Make way for another treeee." Wasn't it a beaut? The tree of course, as the Santa Impostor Groundskeeper made some motions to bring it up right after shuffling through the few closest standing.
"Matching brother and sister!'' Wheeee! Adi approved of him and Marsha being all matchy. Around and around he spun her then stopped when he realised she might get dizzy. Marsha got an extra squish before he set her down. Nope, she didn't seem to be dizzy. Goody! "I am? Well then, I'll keep being biased, '' he asked and said playfully, laughing happily when she butted him on the thigh. Haha. "Shorty,'' he teased her.
So, onto the issue of which tree to decorate. Buuuut the Groundskeeper solved that issue. Hehehehe. Mr McLeod was dressed as Santa Clause too though admittedly the man looked more like Father Christmas because of his more adulty look. "Happy Christmas to you too, Mr McLeod!'' Before he knew it, Marsha was excitedly claiming the tree and grabbing his hand.
"It's awfully tall,'' he agreed as the came to a stop before it. And it was beautiful, yes! "Wonder how you'll get to hang all those decorations on it,'' he teased. Sha could always use magic but that wasn't as fun to hang them by hand or so Adi thought. "If you prefer to hang them by hand, you could always climb up on my shoulders.'' How did that sound?
Toddles sees masters and mistress by the trees. Toddles sees trees. Trees are really bigs. Yes the trees are. Toddles helps big masters and big mistress with decorations. Toddles helps and bring tinsel and bulbs. Toddles places boxes onto table. Toddles be good elfs. Toddles loves christmas time.

She had a huge smile on her face, like the happy person she was, on TOP of the Christmas lovin' thing. "Hello Everybody," she said in general, walking around and seeing everyone.
Seeing a familiar little face, Beatrice headed over to Rooney. "Hello dear," she said, a look of concern on her face. "You know, there's a tree over there I'd just LOVE to decorate, but I don't think I can do it all on my own. Would you be able to help me?" And what GORGEOUS attire the young lad was wearing.
Roo was trying his absolute hardest to not look over at the Head Couple, and was mighty thankful when a distraction came right his way. "Professor York! I.. I like your..clothes..." With a determined smile, Rooney did not look back where he had been looking and wallowing about previously. Instead, he nodded, but spoke once more to confirm what he thought he was understanding. "You mean without that... well, not Professor Culloden's tree, right?"
And then to prove things a little more, Rooney waved over at Toddles. "Would you like to help us with a tree?" Roo wouldn't mind the extra help and distraction from his poor poor broken heart.

Beatrice smiled at Rooney's compliment. The jumper was her favourite, as were her cat shoes. "Thank you dear," she said. Rooney said something about Professor Culloden's tree. Beatrice didn't immediately understand, and she glanced over to see Cosgrach, Zander and Sophie. "No, we can find our own tree! Which one takes your fancy?" she asked, looking around. They were all very beautiful, the trees.

"What a lovely idea Rooney," Beatrice said, turning to Toodles with a smile. Would Toodles help them decorate a tree with them?

Hady noticed what was a twinkle out of the corner of her eye. Slowly her head turned to take in the sight and small grin twitching her lips upwards.
"Hello," she greeted quietly straying from Paulina's side to step closer to the tree where Twinkle was perched.
Twinkle saw a student look at her, and she twinkled her hands in a wave. "Hello student," Twinkle said in her high pitched buzzing voice. Unfortunately humans just couldn't perceive fairy talk.
Twinkle blew a kiss at the student and jumped off the branch, fluttering her wings to make her fly around in a circle, fluffing her dress up glamorously.

Ooh, and another student noticed Twinkle. Twinkle shot the student a wink and tinkled a fairy wave towards her. She was a young, pretty one. Twinkle concentrated her energy into herself, and her wings shone even brighter.
There, who could resist glancing Twinkle's way now?
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
So it seemed that he had to decorate this tree by himself since everyone around him already were working. Boo. He took out his wand and pointed it at a box of purple Christmas balls. Using the levitation charm, Yoongi levitated the box to him and placed it down beside the tree. Now for the tinsels. He waved his wand again and these too flew towards him. He would use these first.
But there was a slight problem. He wasn’t sure if he could magic the decorations so high up the tree. And there was NO WAY he was climbing up there. As he looked, a twinkle on one of the trees caught his attention but that was gone when he heard his name. If he needed help?
The Gryffindor turned around and saw Ilia before he beamed at her. “YES!” Oops, too enthusiastically…. “I mean, I do need help, you’re not afraid of heights are you?” cause SOMEONE had to go up that tree and decorate the top and it WASN’T going to be him.

Hady might not have fully seen Paulina come up beside her but she knew she was there and replied with a small nod of her head to the older girls question. Sure she'd like someone to work with on decorating a tree. It was always much more fun when lots of people worked together. They might not have been a group but Paulina was a nice start. "Sure. How about this one?" She gestured to the tree in front of them.
"How are you? Are you enjoying the holidays so far?" Did she like being here over Christmas or was she finding it a little hard to not be home like Hady was?
Awesome, they were going to decorate the tree together. It was always more fun working this way, and Paulina did enjoy Christmas. It might even be her favourite holiday though she also enjoyed Halloween because chocolate; she just didn't like getting scared much.
"That tree is perfect," she said with a nod as she looked it over. All the trees looked great really. It was nice to help get them ready for the holidays. "I'm good. Glad I decided to stay here instead of going to Japan. I miss home, but there is only so much time I have here." Just seemed more practical this way. "Are you having a good holiday?"
It was then that a little fairy arrived. Aww, how cute. Laughing, Paulina waved to her. She seemed to be in a good mood. This was the first time she could remember seeing a fairy in person.
With his next batch of letters carefully tied to his legs and one in his beak Barney flew into the Great Hall once again flapping rapidly with his wings to not topple over because of the weight.

The other half of the time she ignored the goal completely because it wasn't really a very fun goal anyways. Plus it made her sound like her mum, and who wanted to do that? Not her. That's who. But she wasn't going to think about any of that today because Christmas was the very happiest day, which left no space for missing home. It was the first time she'd decided to stay at Hogwarts for the holidays, but there seemed to be a whole lot of stuff to distract her. All the activities DID seem a lot more exciting than listening to her dad recite A Christmas Carol just like every year, a story that was just as boring now as it probably had been when it was written a million years ago.
Spotting the first recipient Barney swooped towards the girl. He was aiming to land gracefully on the floor in front of her. However that got complicated with so many humans standing around her. Losing height and speed, Barney misinterpreted the landing and came to the floor with a THUD and flapping wings. Sticking his leg out with the letter labeled 'Norah' he waited, chest heaving for the girl to untie it.
SPOILER!!: Secret Santa Letter
Dear Norah!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! We never really talked before so this obviously hints that we’re not friends. Or maybe we are and I’m just confusing you right now! I’m such a genius… Anyways, I wanted to write you that you are a fantastic Prefect and Hogwarts is lucky to have you. Good luck with your OWL studies and exams and I hope you will succeed them all! Drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit because that's good for you cause i wish you good health and all the happiness in the world!
Love,
Santa
He was in luck though since the second recipient was standing near by. It was nice when the humans made it easy for old Barney to deliver his post.

No more hand-holding, and no more even STANDING close to Zander. If she was in a properly playful state of mind, she would've tried to act upset and defy Culloden to get back to Zander-- but instead, she burst into laughter.
"You're impossible, y'know that?" But the tree he picked out WAS a good one, so... with a shrug, Soph let Culloden lead them over toward it, just in time to pick up a Norah along the way. The Hufflepuff prefect got a BIG ol' smile, and Soph nodded her firm agreement. "I like the way you think, Norah. Let's DO IT." They'd have the PRETTIEST AND GLITTERIEST TREE OF THEM ALL.
Raising himself up on his legs, Barney flapped a little with his wings as he walked over to stand in front of the next girl. Sticking his right leg out with the letter adressed to 'Sophie' attached to his leg he waited for it to be untied. If he had to stand too long on his left leg he'd topple over in a heap and possibly break something.
SPOILER!!: Secret Santa Letter
Dear, Sophie Brown
You are awesome. Why even say more. You are just that awesome. Don't let anyone else tell you differently, including me. You are the Head Girl and an amazing person. You are a Seventh Year so that means you have survived six years so far at this place. Which is an amazing feat. Since this is Hogwarts, after all.

Char couldn't DECIDE if it was a good thing or a bad thing that she had successfully convinced her parents to let her stay for the special feast. She MISSED her brother and sister TERRIBLY (and her mum and dad and their crup) but she COULDN'T go home and have them KNOW that she was NOT a Ravenclaw! She'd been telling them that she was, or implying it. Whatever she needed to do including having pictures of herself taken wearing DAVIE's Ravie robes. She would have to borrow one of his jumpers, and his scarf, to take home with her when she DID go home.
She adjusted her angel halo headband and wandered around the tree decorating area. It wasn't JUST the headband that she was wearing though, Char ALSO was wearing fluffy strap on wings, and ALSO had both of her arms from the elbow down and including her hands, painted like CANDY CANES, so that when she curved her hands into a hook shape, it LOOKED LIKE SHE HAD CANDY CANES INSTEAD OF ARMS. SHE WAS A CANDY CANE ANGEL. A CANDY CANGEL. Thanks to Dima of course. Her cousin was super good at painting and stuff after all.
.... and NOW she needed to find a TREE to decorate!

Hady smiled brightly at the tinyish fairy and wiggled her fingers back at her in a wave. Sadly the buzzing sounds she couldn't understand but that didn't stop her from being happy about the fairy making an appearance here. She watched as Twinkle fluttered about unable to stop watching her for a few seconds before she slowly pulled her attention away to her friend beside her. Fairies really were lovely...to bad she couldn't really communicate with this one or any of them for that matter. SIGH.

Great! They had a tree they could work on together. Making her way to the tree Hady looked it up and down. It was HUGE but together she knew Paulina and herself could conquer it. "Japan?" Whoa why hadn't she gone?! "Is that where you live?" It made some sense to want to stay at Hogwarts though if this was her only year here at the school. "Yeah it's really nice here but it's not home, you know?" The castle was certainly lovely and it was great being with all her friends but she still missed her family.
Getting a large box of decorations Hady set them beside the tree. "Shall we get started?"

Surely Paulina wouldn't mind seeing as how nice the older girl was.

They were all very beautiful, the trees.
"What a lovely idea Rooney," Beatrice said, turning to Toodles with a smile. Would Toodles help them decorate a tree with them?
The Ravenclaw pointed at a tree as far away from Miss Sophie Brown and her Head Butthead Boyfriend and kept a smile on his face for Professor York. What took his fancy was the seventh year who thought he was good at all things and could be a prefect, but still wanted to hold hands with Mister Zander Adair, Head Boy of No. Instead of waiting for Toddles to respond to the question though, Rooney reached for Professor York's hand himself and gave it a tug to get them moving over to THEIR tree.
Goodbye 0% chance of marrying Miss Sophie Brown.
He let go of the Professors hand though as soon as he saw Miss Charlotte Hannah Kettleburn and smiled at her, waving a little. Hopefully, she hadn't seen him holding Professor York's hand. "Professor York, Toddles and I are going to decorate the tree over there. Are you coming, Miss Candy Cane Princess?"
So it seemed that he had to decorate this tree by himself since everyone around him already were working. Boo. He took out his wand and pointed it at a box of purple Christmas balls. Using the levitation charm, Yoongi levitated the box to him and placed it down beside the tree. Now for the tinsels. He waved his wand again and these too flew towards him. He would use these first.
But there was a slight problem. He wasn’t sure if he could magic the decorations so high up the tree. And there was NO WAY he was climbing up there. As he looked, a twinkle on one of the trees caught his attention but that was gone when he heard his name. If he needed help?
The Gryffindor turned around and saw Ilia before he beamed at her. “YES!” Oops, too enthusiastically…. “I mean, I do need help, you’re not afraid of heights are you?” cause SOMEONE had to go up that tree and decorate the top and it WASN’T going to be him.
Ilia was a bit surprised at the loud, enthusiastic response that she received. He had a huge beaming smile and she smiled softly in return. Was she afraid of heights? He was kidding right? "No. Not at all......why?" That question usually meant something needed done up high somewhere.
She wondered what would need done involving heights.....and why he didn't just do it. But.....then she remembered the first astronomy class of the year and the heights and the floating. He didn't seem to be the fondest of being in the air....whereas Ilia loved flying. She regarded the boy carefully , trying not to hurt his feelings. "You are afraid of heights.....aren't you?" Hopefully he wasn't angry at her or upset that she'd asked. She needed distracted, not emotionally involved.

Ohhh a nice big girl was saying she could help her and someone called Paulina! That was sooo nice.
She was about to answer but her attention was caught a second later by a wave.
Oh it was ROONEY! Her... uh..... tumbleweed-making friend! And he had just called her a PRINCESS so Charlotte thought he was even cooler now. She liked compliments! Char waved back, all smiles TOO. Professor York? She was quite cool, Char thought. And Toddles? Oh! House elf! She liked those! Oh but the other girl had just said she could decorate with them, and they LOOKED like probably they could really do with her help (because she was a candy cangel and obviously you wanted one of those for tree decorating), and the girl had asked first.
DILEMMA.
Not sure what to do, instead of answering either offer, Char stuck her arms out (shaping her hands into an appropriate hook shape), stared at Rooney, and informed him, them, and anyone within a five mile radius:
"My arms are candy canes!"

Yes, he knew he was impossible, thank you very much.
Cosgrach merely BEAMED at Sophie as if she had complimented him. "Thanks!" he even exclaimed, right before one mature Norah happened and suggested tinsel. WHY NOT? Now that they had a tree, they could all add the things they liked and it would be the BEST TREE EVER because THEY were the BEST TEAM EVER.
Heh.
"Let's do it!" he exclaimed energetically, and brought out his wand as he still deliberately stood between Sophie and Zander. Hehehehe. With Norah between them from the other way around, it was impossible for them to hold hands right now. He was so clever!
"So, tinsel we sa -" NEVER MIND, Sophie and Zander had letters! "What do they say?" The way he looked, he was clearly ready to snatch the letters if they didn't tell him; because they were all past the 'privacy' stages of their relationship.

Unless she wanted to really split herself in two and find difficulty in reattaching herself without extensive help. Plus, her wings may not last the separation of her arms. They were attached to her body, were they not? Teehee.
Roo gave her an apologetic smile and then a shrug. "You can work with them, Miss Charlotte. We don't mind." He was sure he could catch her a little bit later to talk more about their plans for the new year and auditioning for her archenemy. He'd been working non a list of traits best for that kind of deal and was very close to finishing it up.

Yeah, she was cool.
Hady couldn't help but laugh softly at the younger girl. She was cute and very festive alright. A nice cheerful addition to tree decorating.
Only there seemed to be a slight dilemma going on. The younger Raven whom Hady remembered working with last year when she played Freyja in class also asked Charlotte to work with him. Hmm. No worries really. "You can go ahead and work with your friend if you like, it's alright with us. Or we could all work together. Whichever is easiest." She didn't mind either way honestly.

Blushing a little though, she couldn’t help the grin she shot at him as he called her beautiful. ”YOU are biased, bro.” She said, lovingly as she attempted to bump their hips together, but really she just butted his thigh.
Oh!
”Yes! I want.... to decorateee…” She started as she looked up and down the hall at the empty trees - but just as she went to reply, Mr McLeod came into the Great Hall too. WITH ANOTHER TREE. ”That one! Mr McLeod, can I decorate that tree? It’s so tall! Adi, look how tall it is? Isn’t it beautiful?” She bounced on her toes, taking Adi’s hand before pulling him after the Groundskeeper.
This was their tree. Everyone else could decorate another one. Teeheee.

"Matching brother and sister!'' Wheeee! Adi approved of him and Marsha being all matchy. Around and around he spun her then stopped when he realised she might get dizzy. Marsha got an extra squish before he set her down. Nope, she didn't seem to be dizzy. Goody! "I am? Well then, I'll keep being biased, '' he asked and said playfully, laughing happily when she butted him on the thigh. Haha. "Shorty,'' he teased her.
So, onto the issue of which tree to decorate. Buuuut the Groundskeeper solved that issue. Hehehehe. Mr McLeod was dressed as Santa Clause too though admittedly the man looked more like Father Christmas because of his more adulty look. "Happy Christmas to you too, Mr McLeod!'' Before he knew it, Marsha was excitedly claiming the tree and grabbing his hand.
"It's awfully tall,'' he agreed as the came to a stop before it. And it was beautiful, yes! "Wonder how you'll get to hang all those decorations on it,'' he teased. Sha could always use magic but that wasn't as fun to hang them by hand or so Adi thought. "If you prefer to hang them by hand, you could always climb up on my shoulders.'' How did that sound?
Now then, since there had seemed to be plenty of trees around for others to help make. There didn't seem to be a need for the Groundskeeper to bring in anymore. What a jolly holiday this was turning out as Justin first started with his wand drawn to suck up the stray shavings from the floor before starting with the tree.. well, before he could hear some students near by.
Oh lookie, first claimings of the new tree!
"Ah, Hanover and Rehman. My little helpers, Of course you can decorate this one!" It seemed right with the sight of the reindeer ears and matching santa-beard hat. "My you both look festive. How's your Christmas going you two?" Fun? It sure looked like it.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

She wondered what would need done involving heights.....and why he didn't just do it. But.....then she remembered the first astronomy class of the year and the heights and the floating. He didn't seem to be the fondest of being in the air....whereas Ilia loved flying. She regarded the boy carefully , trying not to hurt his feelings. "You are afraid of heights.....aren't you?" Hopefully he wasn't angry at her or upset that she'd asked. She needed distracted, not emotionally involved.
The fact that she wasn't afraid made him smile even broader but then he felt a sneeze coming up and he turned around to sneeze. "ah, sorry" he said as he sniffed. He felt horrible but he wasn't going to miss christmas because of a cold.
Afraid of heights? him? BWAHAHAHAHAHAyes...
The Gryffindor was glad that he already had a red face and nose and ears from being sick because he was blushing in embarrassment. "I am...i can't stand it...i'm trying to get over it but its so difficult" with a sigh, Yoongi bend down to grab a box and literally pushed it in Ilia's arms. "Can you decorate the top of the tree then i'll do the bottom~ I want the most beautiful tree here!" he said, eyes blazing as he stared at the other students who started to decorate the other trees. "By the way, you look really down. Did something happen?"

Only there seemed to be a slight dilemma going on. The younger Raven whom Hady remembered working with last year when she played Freyja in class also asked Charlotte to work with him. Hmm. No worries really. "You can go ahead and work with your friend if you like, it's alright with us. Or we could all work together. Whichever is easiest." She didn't mind either way honestly.
Whatever made the younger ones happy was fine by her.
She was nice.
"You're nice. What's your name? I'll work with Roo, okay? But I'll come check to make sure you did it right after, I promise." She was good like that, and her expertise would be valued right?

They were attached to her body, were they not? Teehee.
Roo gave her an apologetic smile and then a shrug. "You can work with them, Miss Charlotte. We don't mind." He was sure he could catch her a little bit later to talk more about their plans for the new year and auditioning for her archenemy. He'd been working non a list of traits best for that kind of deal and was very close to finishing it up.
"PS. Your arms ARE candy canes."
Yeah, she was cool.
It WAS impossible, but Roo HAD given her an idea! She could BE a decoration, not just a decoratOR. She could hang in the tree with her candy cane arms, or be the tree topper because she was an ANGEL! Glory be!
"You're SUPPOSED to say you REEALLY want me to work with you though, okay?" Char coached him helpfully. But news: she was going to anyways.
"I would make a pretty good tree topper." She added casually. Because, not only was she dressed as an ANGEL (a candy cangel), but she was a STAR and she had a theme song in her head and everything.
"Okay! Lets start!"
Professor York ALSO got big smiles too because Char realised THEY MAYBE COULD DO SOME REALLY awesome things with professor help. YAY!

With his delivery at the feast table made Barney flew over to where everyone was decorating trees. He flew around the trees in search of the next recipient.

SO with that in mind, she had thrown herself into the Christmas festivities… and TODAY. Today she was going to help decorate at least one of the trees, they were after all HUGE…. and she was, well she was tiny. Heh.
However, she had caught Adi last night at dinner and asked him to come and help her - he was afterall MUCH MUCH taller… and at least she would get to spend time with one sibling, if she could see little Alis. Right? Right. So, here Marsha was, skipping happily down the last set of stairs away to meet her Happy Hufflepuff Adi!Bro and decorate a TREEEEE.
By the time Barney found the girl he was pretty dizzy and missinterpreted his landing and knocked into her and the tree on his way to the floor. When the needles had stopped falling to the ground around him Barney held the letter in his beak out labeled 'Marsha' and waited for her to take it from him.
SPOILER!!: Secret Santa Letter
Hi Marsha!
I hope the owl doesn't mess this up because you are the most awesome Gryffindor I know and deserve one of these letters! You are the most funny, cool, and fun person here in my opinion, and you are really really smart, which is also cool. Plus, you make it super easy to just be ourself around you and that's one of the best parts of all. Just one though, because there are a lot of other things that make you so great. Like you aren't afraid to go outside and stuff and get your hands dirty like some other girls. That's super awesome.
I hope you have a really good Christmas! And I hope you get everything you want!

Goodbye 0% chance of marrying Miss Sophie Brown.
He let go of the Professors hand though as soon as he saw Miss Charlotte Hannah Kettleburn and smiled at her, waving a little. Hopefully, she hadn't seen him holding Professor York's hand. "Professor York, Toddles and I are going to decorate the tree over there. Are you coming, Miss Candy Cane Princess?"
Before Beatrice realised what was happening, Rooney had reached for her hand and was pulling her towards the tree he had pointed at. She promptly followed him on very important tree decorating business, and tried not to chuckle when, at the sight of one Charlotte Kettleburn, he quickly let go. "Hello Charlotte, dear. Merry Christmas! You look wonderful," she said to the girl who appeared to almost die in a previous lesson of hers. She didn't have any beans on her today, so she was quite safe.

Beatrice was looking around the Great Hall, making sure everyone was working harmoniously together, before looking back at the two first years, quite satisfied that things were going well. It seemed Charlotte would be joining them, and Beatrice smiled warmly down at the lioness. "Lovely!" She said happily, deciding to head over to the tree Rooney had pointed to. With Rooney, Charlotte and Toodles, their tree was destined to look fABulous.

She was nice.
"You're nice. What's your name? I'll work with Roo, okay? But I'll come check to make sure you did it right after, I promise." She was good like that, and her expertise would be valued right?
"Hady. My name is Hady," she answered with a small grin. Sure the kid could work with whomever she wanted to work with. It really wasn't that big of a deal. She'd come check and make sure that she had decorated it right? Now that was cute. Laughing quietly she nodded her head. "Sure. That's fine." Mhmm. No problem at all.

It went without saying that AJ was pretty legit at Christmas tree decorating. She did things a little differently than her parents liked, but whatever. More was ALWAYS better. At least she thought so. AJ had her hat on and she was in the Christmas spirit. What more did she need? Well, she could go for some hot cocoa, but for now she was going to make these trees beautiful.
Picking up some candy canes - she tried not to eat them - she began to place them around the tree. Okay. This tree was in desperate need of some sparkle. TINSEL. AJ was going crazy with that little beauty. Before she was done, you would barely be able to see in green. Just the way it should be.
The fact that she wasn't afraid made him smile even broader but then he felt a sneeze coming up and he turned around to sneeze. "ah, sorry" he said as he sniffed. He felt horrible but he wasn't going to miss christmas because of a cold.
Afraid of heights? him? BWAHAHAHAHAHAyes...
The Gryffindor was glad that he already had a red face and nose and ears from being sick because he was blushing in embarrassment. "I am...i can't stand it...i'm trying to get over it but its so difficult" with a sigh, Yoongi bend down to grab a box and literally pushed it in Ilia's arms. "Can you decorate the top of the tree then i'll do the bottom~ I want the most beautiful tree here!" he said, eyes blazing as he stared at the other students who started to decorate the other trees. "By the way, you look really down. Did something happen?"
Oh there went the sneezing. "Gesundheit?" Poor thing, that didn't sound good. Sneezing was never fun....really kind of icky. Ilia rarely caught colds , but when she did she was positively miserable. She had a high tolerance to pain, she could suck up a sprained ankle or a spider gashed leg and keep walking, but sniffly? Pssh, she hated it. She was really hoping that she didn't catch his cold......
"Its okay, everyone is afraid of something." That was true as far as she had found out. Heights, spiders, snakes, venomous tentacula, thestrals, loss.....everyone had something that bothered them to tears. "Maybe try working yourself up to things slowly? Ride on a low flying broom?"
A moment later and a box was thrust into her arms. Well that was quick...."Okay." She didn't know if they would have the most beautiful tree, but she could decorate the top. It was high enough up that she might have trouble aiming it magically. She doubted that physically climbing it would be a good idea either. She couldn't levitate herself and she didn't trust Yoongi to with his sneeze attacks. The last thing that she felt like doing was moping around in a bed in the hospital wing after she got dropped. That left one solution in her mind, her broom. Setting the box down at her feet, she closed her eyes and concentrated, with her left hand open to catch her broom."Accio , broom."
Once her broom was in hand , she started making calculations as to what to put where. As for Yoongi's question, she smiled sadly at him. "Is it that obvious?" She thought that she had been doing a better job of hiding it, but apparently not........
