Isn't it strange that I'm writing a Christmas chapter in July? Oh well. Here in Australia we have the weather for it so it's fine.
Rapunzel: Want to hear about Christmas at Hogwarts?
Others: YEAH!
I'd had an inner war on whether or not I should go back to the tower for Christmas or not. I really did want to see Mother Gothel but a voice in my head kept telling me that if I went home, Gothel might not let me come back to Hogwarts, so I decided to stay. I hadn't told anyone about her hair so I didn't understand why part of me said that Gothel wouldn't let me come back. It's because she never let you leave before and didn't want you going to Hogwarts to begin with. The little voice told me and I couldn't argue with that. Christmas at Hogwarts was beautiful. The whole castle was decorated to look like either a winter wonderland or like Santa's Workshop. Professor North had even put spells on some toys so that they flew around in the Great Hall. I had decided to paint all my friends a picture of the four of us and get it enchanted so the painting could move, so I spent the first part of the holiday working on that. Christmas morning, I woke up to find a pile of presents at the end of my bed. I got a new dress and some Hazelnut soup from Mother, a handmade necklace from Hiccup, all sorts of sweets from Jack and some of the books Merida used in her princess lessons with her mother. The whole of Christmas day was amazing because it was Professor North's favourite holiday so he had set up all sorts of different holiday traditions and games. The Christmas feast was absolutely massive despite the small number of student who had stayed and all the food was delicious. I found out that Professor North and Professor Bunnymund both disagreed which holiday was best, Christmas or Easter, and would always try to outdo each other. The students would often make the teachers go really far for their amusement or to get out of homework but I didn't join in because I didn't see the fun in making two respectable teachers argue. The rest of the holiday went by quite quickly with me doing all of my homework and reading the books Merida had gotten me and it was soon the day where the rest of the students would be arriving back, via the train. I wanted to thank my friends for the presents so when it was nearly time for their arrival, I went to the Grand Staircase to wait for them to arrive.
