As December of 2013 rolled around, the weather started to feel much colder than it already was. The clouds turned from the usual dull-grey to a wintry-white as snow began to cover the entirety of the castle grounds halfway through the month, just in time for the holidays. As soon as December 1st struck, Hagrid had already began lumbering in a pile of fresh oak trees to use for Christmas decorations in the Great Hall. By the afternoon of that same day, all twelve of them were standing around the tables, with the largest of the bunch being front-and-centre behind the teachers’ chairs. However, there weren’t any decorations displayed on them yet due to the staff being awfully busy at the time.
Once the students had gone to their homes for the holidays, things were beginning to calm down a lot at Hogwarts. Some students stayed behind for Christmas — Matthew being one of them. His family had left the UK that Christmas and were spending it in New York away from their familiar environment. Matthew, however, wanted to stay in the school with his friends.
On Christmas Eve, Matthew entered the Great Hall one last time before the big day. He saw Professor Flitwick levitating golden ornaments and hanging them on the trees’ branches, with some other students assisting him by hanging shiny tinsel across the walls. The mystical night sky that usually hovered above them was filled with candles and a calm snow storm. He also saw his friends gathered around on the Ravenclaw table, surrounded by all kinds of treats: chocolate frogs, cauldron cakes, mince pies, treacle tarts, Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans, and Matthew’s favourite beverage, butterbeer.
“Matthew!” Called out a familiar lioness from the group, smiling wide — it was none other than his Quidditch captain, Jan.
The wolf quickly made his way to the table and once arriving there was greeted by his friends: Kara, Tanro, Lanya, Caim, Noah, Lee with his girlfriend Carmen, and Jan, of course.
“I saved a spot for you right next to me,” said the lioness, patting the empty spot beside her.
Shortly after, Matthew took a seat with his friends and was offered all the delicious snacks they had to offer. Lee knowing the wolf very well, he knew he’d go for the butterbeer straight away.
“See? I told you he’d go right for that!” His statement was followed by laughter from the group.
As the evening progressed, the bunch of them had a wonderful time; they pulled some magical crackers that had a delightful surprise inside, played Wizard’s Chess and shared plenty of tasty treats. After a while, Matthew noticed Jan had left her seat. He took a look around and she was nowhere to be seen at first glance. However, he managed to catch a glimpse of her long tail following behind her as she walked out of the Hall’s entrance.
While the bunch continued to chat, Matthew stood up from his seat. Curious, the wolf headed to Entrance Hall to check up on her. Why did she suddenly wander off?
