Chapter 11 - Christmas Morning...

Just over a year since had started to teach at Hogwarts, Minerva woke up on Christmas day to a small pile of presents and an owl. She opened the presents and found small tokens from her friends. Then, she proceeded to open the letter that the owl had brought. Minerva gasped, then broke down and wept.

Meanwhile, Albus had woken up and had opened his presents. He had more than Minerva, but that is because he had received many off women admirers, these presents were mostly pointless items that Albus didn't especially want. Nevertheless, he kept them all in an enchanted drawer in his filing cabinet. The drawer was enchanted so that it would hold as many of the presents Albus wanted it to, whilst never getting full or heavy. Last of all, Albus opened his gift from Minerva. It was beautiful. Minerva had gotten him a snowglobe, but she had charmed it so that the scene inside it changed depending on the mood that Albus was feeling. He couldn't help but feel impressed. It could only take a powerful witch or wizard to perform such a task. Albus then gasped, as he realised something. He had forgotten to give Minerva her present. Forgetting all that he was doing, Albus rushed to give Minerva her Christmas present.
