"Well I've had my eyes on it for a while," he gave her the biggest cheesy ol' grin to go along with it too. The holidays were bringing out the jolly in him, okay?

Anywaaaaaays. Trees. There were SO many. Did they have to claim their own? Were the trees assigned? Could they have TWO? So many questions Zander needed answered. But eh, wasn't the christmas spirit all about throwing away the instructions manual? "I think you should pick the tree." But also because there were so many choices and Zander didn't want to pick the wrong one.

Christmas trees were very serious business.

With... of course, the Head couple who were holding hands.

First things first, he approached them from behind and waved his wand to seperate those hands. "No PDA," he reminded them in a friiiiiiiendly tone. Yeah. They had plenty other places to hold hands. Then, as he'd heard Zander's suggestion, he pointed at a tree and said "I like that one. Let's decorate that." As if the 'you' in that sentence was HIM, and placed his hands on their shoulders to push them slightly apart, enter between them and direct them to the tree HE had picked.

THEIRS WAS GOING TO BE THE BEST.

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.

Armed with her favorite Christmas sweater that clashed horribly with her leggings that clashed even more horribly with her socks, Norah flounced over to where Professor Culloden, Zander, AND Sophie Brown were standing. Who needed to be home when THIS gang was around, right? Zander and Sophie were practically married by now anyways, so the family atmosphere wasn't even missing. "We should use ALL the tinsel! It'll be the shiniest tree EVER." Hi. Hello. She was helping TOO.

He'd... had his eye on her heart for awhile? PUH-LEASE. "You're such a dork," she quipped playfully, giving him a nudge, and had just begun giving consideration to which tree they should pick to decorate when--

Culloden happened.

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.
