Yes, Jina was miserable that she was not at home for Christmas. She could not even write to her parents and her elf owl Dobby was nowhere to be seen. But she knew that almost all students and surely all members of staff felt the same, so she could not complain. And she truly appreciated the effort the professors put into organising this heartwarming event. The only drawback was that they all had to wear PJs. She really did not want to wear pyjamas in front of her professors (and Sunny Raine, if he was joining). It was embarrassing!!

Her ears bright red, she shuffled into the great hall. After nodding briefly at Headmaster Trent, she joined Missa and Jillian. These were girls who often saw her in pyjamas, so she felt comfortable around them. “Hey guys,” she offered a small smile. It was clear that none of them was very happy about this situation. She hoped helping with decorations and eating all the Christmas food would help them to cheer up.
