Fiyero approached the Great Hall, whistling "Jingle Bells" to himself. He was wearing a red sweater with a reindeer on the front that Grandma Jones had knitted him last year with a Santa hat to match. Whoa, look at all the people, he thought as he peered inside. He saw Professors Stewart, Yoon, Myers, and Ichihara, as well as Mr. McLeod gathered. His friends Bec and Vivian were there too, one of whom looked rather sullen sitting beside Professor Myers while the other was busy decorating with a group of other people. Wow, they were a stark contrast to each other!
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good...day!" he called to everyone within earshot. He couldn't very well end that sentence with the word "night" while the sun was still shining, could he? "Let me know if there's anything I can do to help." He was excited to do some decorating! His parents were never home long enough to decorate a Chrsitmas tree as a family, so they just had one of those cheap pre-decorated things every year. One of his grandmas was very particular about her decorations and wouldn't let him help, while the other just charmed everything.
While Fiyero waited to be assigned a task, he supposed this was a good time to check out the snacks. After all, who refused free food? He helped himself to some of everything: a slice of cake, some chocolate-covered pretzels, and a couple of cookies. He added a few marshmallows to his cocoa - because hot cocoa was always better with marshmallows - using a candy cane as a stirrer. He bit into a cookie; it wasn't quite as good as the ones Grandma Jones made but still pretty good. He'd have to remember to compliment the house elves (or whoever else made the cookies) later!
He stood off to the side, watching the scene unfold. He blinked a couple of times as his eyes fell to the many Christmas trees. Whoa, those were the biggest trees he'd ever seen! He wondered how they managed to get them in here... maybe they used a Shrinking Charm. These were going to look amazing once they were decorated! He was glad he remembered to bring his camera; this would make for a great photo-op!
