Minerva was rubbing her swollen belly at the Head table. Albus smiled at her. It was a well-known fact that Christmas was the favorite holiday of these two professors. And the fact that a prank was in store for Severus made the already happy Minerva overjoyed.
The hall was filled with students singing, Peeves acting mischievous, and our two favorite professors planning pranks on each other. Minerva was praying that tonight's feast included cream pie, and Severus had a handful of wizard crackers that the Marauders modified in his pocket.
"Hello Severus."Minerva said as he sat down next to her.
"Happy Christmas Min, Albus."he said. Albus nodded a greeting to Severus and stood.
"Happy Christmas! Let us eat!" he said, sitting back down. Minerva was suppressing a laugh.
"What?"
"Those were the best words you've used." she said, adding foods to her plate.
"Thank you." Albus said, noticing the strange combinations on his wife's plate.
"Hey, Min. Why don't you try these?" Severus asked, showing her the crackers.
"Alright, but only one." she said. Severus nodded. Minerva picked the middle one and pulled it. A cloud engulfed her. A minute later, it clear up, and poor Minerva had green hair. But she was laughing.
"Peeves! Look! Over there!" she cried. She picked up a cream pie pie as Severus turned back. She smacked the pie on his face. The whole hall cracked up.
"Wait for it... Mail's here!" Poppy said as a snowy white owl plopped down on Severus's head.
"This is the best Christmas ever!"
