Christmas at Hogwarts

I looked around at the Great Hall, as I entered it for the Christmas Eve feast. There were only a handful of students staying back for the holidays.

The professors had decorated the Great Hall in full Christmas spirit. There were icicles here and there, and there were snowmans rocking on their places near the Walls. There stood twelve large Christmas trees at every possible places. There were fairies, tinselz, baubles and misteltoe

But there was a warmth to the room even though this time a white Christmas was expected due to the snow outside. It was as if there was a fire crackling right in front of us.

My muscles immediately relaxed, stiff from being held tight to protect against the cold. Up in the tower, even though the windows were closed, the drafty air still got in, making the rooms uncomfortably cold. Added to the, I was expecting the full moon on 28th and all my joints were already anticipating the moon, tensing up to prepare for the change they knew was coming.

I was the only one from Gryffindor, then there were three Slytherins, two Hufflepuff, and two Ravenclaws.

The feast was lavish, even though there were just a few of us present.

As we were leaving Headmaster Dumbledore wished each of us a Merry Christmas and that breakfast would be sent up to the common rooms.


I'll come back and expand on this and the chapter ahead for the Hard-core Marauder Fan Competition. For now, I'm publishing this:) Sorry for the short chapter
