Ever since then, her life was based and surrounded around Hogwarts. Holly is quite the spontaneous girl. She is very sweet, kind, and loves to make new friends. Her love life hasn't been that great because she always psyched herself out when she was dating a boy she liked, so she would break up with them. Which doesn't really matter to her anymore. However she does have her eye on one boy...or maybe five boys....hehhh. Other than that her grades are quite good, around average and the strange thing is...she hates to read. Hah. Her favorite all-time holiday is Christmas and she is stoked for the Secret Santa.

Six months before she graduated and moved on in her life, working at the Ministry. Yes, she knew she wanted to work there. Six months could still change her mind.
But she would really truly miss Conner Cohen giving her hell each and every day.
Darn it! He was right...she could have ignored it. "I can't just let those things go by without a come back!" she exclaimed. Not ever. Anyway, back to the point of figuring out what to get her Secret Santa. She adjusted her skirt and looked back at Ryan who was still in a sugar high.
Please no. He was the only guy she felt like asking what her person. Her eyes widened and she sat there for a second, contemplating whether to speak to Conner about this. Ugh...finally she gave in.
"Listen....I can't believe I'm seriously asking you this, but is there anyway you can give me some advice on what to get for my person?" she asked him. She had no brothers once again, so she was so helplessly lost already. And she was suppose to be smart! "I'll do anything you want," she added, hoping to bribe him into helping her. She looked at him as innocently and as sweetly as she could.
Wow. Six months. That was.. nothing. Since when had school gone by so fast?! Connor shook off the initial shock and focused on a response to her jab. "Six months, huh? It's about time." And then she claimed that she couldn't ignore him because she needed to throw comebacks instead of shrugging off every biting word that escaped mouth. Frankly, he was the same way. "Excuses," he murmured dismissively.
He plucked one of the Christmas tree-shaped cookies out from the plate before him and took a bite. After having eaten all but one bite, he heard Elizabeth addressing him again. And she was being.. earnest? He swallowed the bit of cookie in his mouth and paused for a moment before answering. "Well.. I'd need to know who it is..." he told her, his words lingering. Whaat? Seriously, why was he agreeing to help her? But her next comment was very interesting. Hmh.. she'd do anything he'd want? Wow, she really wanted this guy to have a good gift. "I'll have to think on that bit and let you know later," he said, before quickly adding. "You know, gotta make it something painfully embarrassing for you."

He didn't mean that she hoped. Or else he was just mean. "I guess it is. I mean, I'll finally be away from you," she stated, just so it didn't seem like she cared that he'd be out of her life. They may be excuses, but it was the bloody truth. She very much liked making up 'excuses' if that's what he wanted to call them anyhow.
She watched as he started to eat a cookie. Ew. She hated the Christmas cookies they had at this time of the year. Let alone any holiday cookie. Or any cookie sugar cookie for that matter. The frosting was just gross. She'd rather suck on a candy cane. Tell him who it was? "No I'm not going to tell you. I just need ideas. Besides, telling you would ruin the fun," she went on. Not like it was him, but she didn't trust him. Painfully embarrassing? Oh god, what was she getting herself into? "I wouldn't expect anything otherwise coming from you." She really didn't care to do something ridiculous anyway.

"Yeah? Well.. the feeling's mutual," Connor said. Ouch, they were being harsh. He looked away from her and swiftly popped the last bit of his cookie into his mouth.
He glanced up just in time to see her analyzing his cookie-eating abilities. Right, he knew she was not a fan of the frosting. She only said so every single Christmas. "Care fore a cookie?" The right side of his mouth turned upwards slightly. Great, so she wouldn't even tell him who was on her parchment. Eh, he didn't really think she was going to anyway, but it was worth a shot. Grabbing a small, round peppermint from the dish on the table, he plopped that into his mouth to clean his palette. Actually, he just liked the peppermint taste. "Okay, then I'm not going to give away any more of my suggestions right here," he stated, eying the several blokes around him. Hey, for all he knew, her person could be one of them! He crunched down on the peppermint before eventually swallowing the pieces. "I'll tell you right outside the Great Hall doors," he said, standing up.

It sure was wasn't it? Enough of proclaiming how glad they were to get away from each other in six months though....
Then he suddenly offered her a cookie. Hah good one. "Eww, merlin are you kidding me?" she exclaimed in a disgusted expression. Shouldn't he know by know how much she despised cookies? She wouldn't be surprised if everyone else knew.... At least he didn't pester on about who she had. It wasn't like she was going to let it slip anyway. It was her secret for only her to know. Not Cohen or Holly or any other of her friends. She liked keeping secrets. Lizzy then watched as he took a peppermint to suck on. He wasn't going to say anything else here? Darn that meant time alone with him. "Fine, I'm all ears," she stated, grabbing a peppermint for herself and then standing up, waiting to follow.

Connor rolled his eyes. He was noticing how much he did this when he was around Elizabeth, actually. She sure brought out the best in him, this girl. Although he was incredibly tempted to fling one of the cookies her way, he restrained himself. He wouldn't want to land himself in some stupid predicament that kept him from participating in this Secret Santa business. "Lovely." He excused himself from his friends before marching outside the Great Hall.
Folding his arms, he leaned against the side of the wall. "Okay, just tell me who you have. It'll be much easier and I'm sure the guy will like the present much better if you give me details." It was true.

Heh she was lovely was she not? Elizabeth was seriously tempted to make comment of this, but kept her mouth shut. She gave a wave to Holly and Bella as she exited the Great Hall. Hardly anyone was out here and she didn't fully understand why they had to come out here to talk, yet she wasn't going to question his method. Cause there was a chance he wouldn't help her if she did that.
She stopped in front of him as he leaned against the wall. Wow, this kid was taller than her! Almost a foot it almost seemed. She brushed back some of the falling strands of brown hair. Oh great. She frowned at him and said, "No, I'm not going to tell you. I refuse to give away his name. All I want is ideas. I doubt you even know the guy," she added, crossing her arms against her chest.

Connor's eyes lowered to her face as she tucked her hair behind her ear. It only distracted him for a split second though, and he turned his palms up towards the ceiling as she told him that she wasn't going to reveal her secret. "Are you serious? It's not like I'm going to tell him." The whole purpose of getting away from eavesdropping ears was so that she could tell him who it was! Or, that was his theory. She was still on about anonymous ideas.
He eyed her, frowning all the while. "Well, if you're not going to tell me who it is, then I'll just have to give you the lame, vague answers." This was her last chance.

"Yeah right. I don't trust you Cohen. You've certainly made that much clear," Lizzie said defiantly, with a frown still plastered on her face. Maybe if he hadn't lost her trust the same day he lost her as a friend, she would tell him. She was not about to get over the whole 'enemies for life thing' any time soon either. He had made her not like him, that was it. She had reacted violently in return.
Any girl at that age would. Hmph.
She rolled her eyes. That was all she was asking for! It seemed he didn't want to give vague answers so she decided on another approach. "Okay than give me ideas of what you personally would want." So then she could build off those.

"Well, you should." 'Cause as obstinate as he could be, Connor considered himself a trustworthy fellow. She was simply blinded by her utter dislike for him. And he with her, of course. "Oh, Merlin. I just gave Holly the insights into what I'd want, why couldn't you have listened then?" He felt like he was playing Clue, the boardgame, except he was finding out who had his name instead of who murdered so-and-so in what room with which weapon and all that.
But he shrugged and moved so that his shoulders were planted against the wall and his hands were in his pockets. "My answers are probably different than other guys'. I'd want.. eh, maybe new earbuds?" He used his current ones a lot. "Oh, or maybe one of those muggle Postsecret books! You ever heard of them? It'd be appropriate, with this being Secret Santa and all." Whoa, that was actually a good idea. Just popped in his head then, too. Heh.
He rubbed the back of his neck. "I donno, does that help?"
Kyle was zoning out as usual until he saw cookies he took a cookie and bit into it not noticing much he remembered barely hearing the words Secret Santa he lifted his slip of parchment and stared at it intently and then shoved it into his pocket. He had no idea what to get his Secret Santa tho he was relieved it was a guy. Kyle look at the one end of the table and saw how packed it was he was glad he was by himself at the other end of the table enjoying cookies. :3

Since not many people were paying much attention to Zacharias, he looked at his paper- he sawhis secret santa...It wouldn't hurt to get to know the guy better, right...
"Hi Kyle...How are you today? Bunch of giggly guys and girls over there, I love the quiet..."Zacharias told Kyle as he sat in the bench.

With a cookie in his mouth Kyle looked up at Zacharias. Trying to answer the question Kyle quickly swallowed the cookie and quickly took a sip of water.
Kyle grimaced and answered "Hey Zacharias... Um I am happy today how about you." Kyle smiled as he handed Zacharias a cookie as he grabbed one himself and took a bite out of it.

Zacharias lifted the cookie in thanks and took a chunk off.
"I'm very well...So you here all this Secret Santa Stuff going on?I am not quite sure of what to get my person...Want it to be handmade by me, and I want it to mean something...
I'm slightly tired..."
Zacharias lifted the cookie in thanks and took a chunk off.

Kyle smiled as he saw Zacharias take a bite. "Is your person a boy or girl?" Kyle asked curiously, "I think a handmade gift is a awesome idea I was thinking of making mine a handmade gift tho I was debating on baking something or hand sewing and knitting something."
Kyle glanced at the group of chaotic teens and shook his head and giggled.

Kyle glanced at the group of chaotic teens and shook his head and giggled.
"Mine is a guy...Do you really think guys will like baked goods...?"He then took a mental note of Kyle eating a cookie- but wait? Had he himself make it, or the elves from the kitchen was the question.
"Did you get these cookies from the elves or did you make them...?"He asked.If you got a guy, maybe some cool type of beanie- it does get cold here in England..."Zacharias mentioned.

"Why not, everyone has a sweet tooth right?" Kyle lightly laughed. Kyle looked at his cookie then looked at Zacharias and smiled "Nope I didn't tho I do have sugar cookies I made in my room" Kyle laughed innocently "I was thinking of making a hand knit scarf my person do you think that is a good idea?"

"Yeah...Oh and maybe in their house colors so that it has a special memory and value to it...So the person remembers all the time..."Zacharias said..
So Kyle made sugar cookies- that was some much needed information that he had divulged to Zacharias without even knowing himself...

Kyle blinked dumb founded he jumped up and screamed "THAT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA!!!" afterwords Kyle got real embarrassed then tripped getting back on the bench and then patted Zacharias on the back and kindly stated "thanks dude you are really smart." Kyle stilled flustered so only get even more embarrassed.

Zach looked at Kyle, Zach's eyes almost bugged out of it's sockets. He had never seen Kyle so full of joy and so energitic."Thanks I suppose...No problem..."Zacharias was gonna need to find someone who was good friends to Kyle- to get some basic information on him.But the kid was turning out to be one of Zach's good friends already...

"Hmm.." Kyle looked at the table and grabbed another cookie and started eating it "MMMM... this cookie is so yummy." Kyle explained "so may I ask what made you decided on staying here during the holidays?"

The only decorating skills she needed were that involving hair, clothes, rooms and parties.
Holly just shook her head in response of Orabelle. The house elves were really nice, truthfully. When she needed help she usually snuck down to the kitchens and asked them for help, espeicially when it came to food or making things. "The house elves wouldn't hurt you, Orabelle. You're just scared." She said teasing her friend.

Or was asking him for a friend perhaps? ...Or, maybe he was just reading into it all way too much. He tended to do that often.
"I personally would like.." He trailed off. What did he want? There really wasn't anything big. "I donno. I like cool trainers, but I wouldn't expect the person to pay for them. Or know my shoe size. Maybe some chocolate frogs or something?" He was always partial to chocolate frogs. "Guys in general would probably like Honeydukes crap because guys like to eat. Maybe some quidditch magazine, depending on the person you've got." He turned to Holly again, hoping that was somewhat helpful.
Holly tilted her head to the side as she thought about the two questions he had brought up. Weren't they really just the same question really? Ehh, oh well, Connor had seemed to answer her question just then and the ideas of gifts were flowing through her mind.
"So maybe sweets? Hmm, I wonder if the Headmistress will give us some time to go to Hogsmeade." She asked aloud, meaning to herself. Which in response, she blushed and looked down at the food, wondering what she could eat next.

Then she smiled and added, "The book I finished was so good!" she exclaimed, hoping that she would get to read the next one tonight. Too bad Holly didn't read or else she could talk about how hot vampires and werewolves were. She was missing out completely! Secret Santa? "Nope. That's why I came over here to see if you did," she explained. Actually to see if Ryan would help her....
Holly just laughed. "A little tired, hmm?" She asked, crossing her arms, silently demanding an explanation out of her friend. Hehe. Oh well that explains it, reading. "Ugh, Liz, I don't know how you can read for so long, I hate reading, why do they even make us read, there is no purpose!" She said aloud once more, not really meaning it to be so loud. The brunette nodded and watched as Liz tried to get an answer out of Ryan who was stuffing his face with candy canes. She just rolled her eyes at the scene and turned away.

"Definitely - I feel the same way. I never understand how some people can open their presents so delicately, and then sometimes even go so far as to fold up the wrapping paper and keep it!" He laughed. Huh uh. Presents were meant to be torn open. The sound alone of torn wrapping paper was totally on the soundtrack to Christmas.
Connor smiled. "You did try, yes." 'Hey you' probably would be a pretty impolite way of getting someone's attention. Unfortunately, people did it anyway.
His eyebrows sank down against his eyes. Really? Ryan was gonna keep his Secret Santa thing secret from him? Pfft. Lame. Oh, wait.. aah. He'd tell him later. Connor gave a wink and nodded.
He looked back to the girls around the table. "So, I don't know what I should--" His words came to an abrupt halt. His eyes widened. Epiphany! "Ryan!" He suddenly grabbed the boy from the robes and shook him in his newfound enthusiasm. "I got it! I have a plan." *shifty*

Orabelle nodded in agreement. "Well, I'll admit, sometimes I just open it partially and tape it right back, that way my parents can't tell that I opened and saw my presents already," she said smiling. She loved tearing it open, but she also loved opening them all twice. Who didn't love presents and most importantly, who didn't love tearing them apart? No one. Well... most people.
"Well, Connor, you do know you're named after a reindeer right?" Orabelle joked. Because wasn't that the name of one of Santa's reindeer? Awwwh. How cute. Hehehe.
Orabelle looked at Holly with wide eyes. "I'm not scared of the house elves! They're scared of me!" she exclaimed. Like... that time with the apple pie thing and the cake thing and the... oh wait, she had been basically banned after that. "It was completely unintentional!" she exclaimed, giving her friend the wide-eyed and innocent look.

"Well, you should." 'Cause as obstinate as he could be, Connor considered himself a trustworthy fellow. She was simply blinded by her utter dislike for him. And he with her, of course. "Oh, Merlin. I just gave Holly the insights into what I'd want, why couldn't you have listened then?" He felt like he was playing Clue, the boardgame, except he was finding out who had his name instead of who murdered so-and-so in what room with which weapon and all that.
But he shrugged and moved so that his shoulders were planted against the wall and his hands were in his pockets. "My answers are probably different than other guys'. I'd want.. eh, maybe new earbuds?" He used his current ones a lot. "Oh, or maybe one of those muggle Postsecret books! You ever heard of them? It'd be appropriate, with this being Secret Santa and all." Whoa, that was actually a good idea. Just popped in his head then, too. Heh.
He rubbed the back of his neck. "I donno, does that help?"
"Well I don't," Lizzie said back, still frowning. And no she was never going to. She had wrote down a list of things she was never going to give in to for Connor and that was apart of it. It was the number one thing not to do actually. "I'm sorry I was zoned out. When you only get 2 hours of sleep you kind of do that," she explained with sarcasm. She doubted he had heard her tell that story to Holly about her late night up.
Then he finally agreed to give ideas of stuff he would want and she carefully listened as he explained. Earbuds, that made sense seeing as she always saw him listening to music. The Postsecret books? Err....of course she had heard of them. She had read one of them maybe? Ughh...she was losing track of what she was reading these days.
"Yes...it does," she replied with some sort of smile. "Thanks for the ideas." Cause the only thing that came to mind when buying presents for boys were clothes and books. "What are your plans for me then?" she asked him, hoping he had come up with something because she REALLY wanted to know.

"Well later, maybe you can go ask the house elves?" She shrugged.
As Holly was mocking Ryan, a big smirk appeared on her face as he seemed annoyed by her mocking. Mwahahahahhahahahaa. Yes, today she was EVIL! Wow, a Hufflepuff girl being evil. Now that was new.
She watched as Ryan grabbed tons of the candy off the table and almost literally threw it into his mouth and ate it. Her jaw dropped in awe and she could help but slightly giggle. That was way too funny. Oh wait, no this part was even more funnier! "Well refined body?" Holly asked laughing some more. Okay....well maybe it was true....but she wouldn't let him know that. Then his next question caught her off guard and she started to stutter. Strange.
Holly looked down at the table as she finished off her candy cane and ran a hand through her dark brown, short hair. "I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult to girls, Mr. Bradstock." She stated, looking back up at him with narrow eyes.

The Lake had to be one of her favorite places or the Flower Garden. Either way, she doubted that he ventured there. It was just a feeling. "So where've you been hiding out?" she asked.
"Holly, if I wanted to hurt myself, I'd toss myself off the Astronomy Tower," Orabelle sighed. Obviously she didn't want to get hurt, which was exactly the reason why she wasn't going to visit the house elves and ask for decorating skills. The only decorating skills she needed were that involving hair, clothes, rooms and parties.

Connor tilted his head to the side a bit and thought about Holly's question a moment. "Well, what would I personally like? Or what would guys in general like?" Because although the two categories probably overlapped, his own would be more specific. Then again, if she was directly asking him, did that mean she had drawn his name? Or was asking him for a friend perhaps? ...Or, maybe he was just reading into it all way too much. He tended to do that often.
"I personally would like.." He trailed off. What did he want? There really wasn't anything big. "I donno. I like cool trainers, but I wouldn't expect the person to pay for them. Or know my shoe size. Maybe some chocolate frogs or something?" He was always partial to chocolate frogs. "Guys in general would probably like Honeydukes crap because guys like to eat. Maybe some quidditch magazine, depending on the person you've got." He turned to Holly again, hoping that was somewhat helpful.
"Definitely - I feel the same way. I never understand how some people can open their presents so delicately, and then sometimes even go so far as to fold up the wrapping paper and keep it!" He laughed. Huh uh. Presents were meant to be torn open. The sound alone of torn wrapping paper was totally on the soundtrack to Christmas.
Connor smiled. "You did try, yes." 'Hey you' probably would be a pretty impolite way of getting someone's attention. Unfortunately, people did it anyway.
His eyebrows sank down against his eyes. Really? Ryan was gonna keep his Secret Santa thing secret from him? Pfft. Lame. Oh, wait.. aah. He'd tell him later. Connor gave a wink and nodded.
He looked back to the girls around the table. "So, I don't know what I should--" His words came to an abrupt halt. His eyes widened. Epiphany! "Ryan!" He suddenly grabbed the boy from the robes and shook him in his newfound enthusiasm. "I got it! I have a plan." *shifty*

Lizzy looked at Holly and sort of started to yawn and quickly brought a hand to her mouth. "Just a little tired," she said in her yawn. Then she smiled and added, "The book I finished was so good!" she exclaimed, hoping that she would get to read the next one tonight. Too bad Holly didn't read or else she could talk about how hot vampires and werewolves were. She was missing out completely! Secret Santa? "Nope. That's why I came over here to see if you did," she explained. Actually to see if Ryan would help her....
Ugh...Conner Cohen was so dumb. That was all she could say really. They had been sworn enemies since second year. All she remembered was it was because something that probably really didn't matter anymore, but yet both were still upset about it. Almost the whole class knew they didn't get along. No matter what she wasn't going to let him know she cared a lot about him... he had his moments. "Oh I'm sure you are. Getting the silent treatment from me is awful," she went on, resisting the urge to roll her eyes again. This wasn't her fault! "Only because you made me," she argued, sounding like a little whiny girl again.
The giggle from Orabelle didn't help her at all. She had to herself under control or else she would seriously explode in her face. And it would be about time wouldn't it? She knew there were people out there who would agree with her.
Then there was Ryan who had apparently started stuffing his face with candy canes. Should someone be stopping him? She smiled at him once more. "Are you okay?" she asked, sort of concerned. What was there to be concerned about though? This was Ryan they were talking about.
On.. and on.. and ON!
The girls just kept on talking and talking, and quite frankly Ryan was getting bored. And if it wasn't for the amount of sugar in those candy canes, he probably would have walked straight out by now, or voiced his own opinion on girly stuff.. and they wouldn't want to hear that.
*STAAAARE*
What exactly was funny about his comment? "WHAT? I was being totally serious" he told her with a completely straight face. Ouchie. The Slytherin made a huge pout and pulled a sad face as he looked at her. "Meanie." HMPH. Haha. Ryan could be obnoxious but he was good at the old, pull a face and make people feel guilty too. It would be interesting to see what she really thought though too. Did she find him annoying or could she actually get along with him?
"I'm pretty certain that was a compliment" the boy smirked at her. The slightly offended expression on her face was incredibly amusing to say the least. But the way she looked at him after he went a little overboard with the candy canes... "What?" he asked, completely innocently. So what he liked sugar.
And back to Orabelle. "Nah. Not enough excitement around there for my liking" Unless you counted going swimming with the Giant Squid. That might have been fun, if you were lucky enough to see him, which Ryan had done once. "Eh.. here and there really. Whomping Willows a particular favourite haunt." How come she wanted to know all of this? She'd never spoken to him before *Blink*
What was that look for? He was following by the rules, keeping it a secret, it was in the name wasn't it? SECRET santa. Ryan started back at his mate mocking the way he was looking at him.
Oh he was just gonna talk to the girls was he? Fine then.. Blah Blah Bla- What was the pause for? His eyes flickered up to look at Conner. "Yes?" he asked, eyes widened. He had a brilliant plan. Oh gawd. As long as it didn't involve.. well a lot of things really. He felt himself being tugged by the clothing and was pulled forward. "And what is it?" Yeah, don't leave him hanging.
Why was he getting concerned looks now? WHAT WAS WITH ALL THE LOOKS HE WAS GETTING TODAY?! Mmmm.. Sugaar. "Yes Im fine" he stared at Lizzy this time. "Why'd you ask?" Heh.
*Nom Nom*
Oh.. Great. Where were THEY going? Don't leave him with the girls!!!1!!one!!

Well, there was nothing further Connor could really say to that. Lizzie was decided on that. Two hours of sleep? How did she function? Insomnia would be the death of him. "Right, of course."
It was difficult to tell whether she liked his ideas, or if she was just being polite. Eventually, he concluded that she must have considered his ideas fairly decent because Elizabeth certainly wouldn't hold back from telling him he was stupid or lame or something like that. "Good.. Even though you should still tell me who it's for." Though it didn't appear that that was going to happen. His forehead creased somewhat as she asked what his plans for her were. "What do you mean?"
