Holiday Time In The Great Hall (Open)

[Christina Abbot]

Christina was in a great mood today as it was Christmas time again as she went to 'The Great Hall' for breakfast before she went to her first class of the day. She had on her favorite Hufflepuff outfit, a Santa scarf was wrapped around her neck she had red ear muffs, read heels on and a Santa Clause hat. Rex her new puggle puppy and Baxter her ferret both had matching Santa Hats on.

She entered the 'Great Hall' and saw that for Christmas the 'House Elves' had decorated it all up Christmas style. Christmas wreaths hung in every window, garland streaming all around the room and even a mistle toe hung above every house table even 'The Great Table' where the teachers sat. There was a Christmas tree all lit up with lights, icicles, candy canes, ornaments and even a great big star on top of it

There was 'House Elves' going around in groups who were singing Christmas carols to everyone. There were owls flying all about in circles and dropping mail and Christmas packages to be delivered to the students. There was a 'House Elf' band set up on a stage that was right now playing Christmas time instrumentals. The Christmas tree in the center of the room had gifts from each 'House Elf' addressed to a student. The 'House Elf's' had each got a different student and they each made a unique present for each student.

On every table there was a Christmas feast even for breakfast. There was a table set up with gingerbread cookies, hot chocolate, eggnog, holiday punch, hot apple cider, sugar cookies, pumpkin pie, cheery pie, pecan pie, blueberry pie, Christmas pudding, cheese balls with crackers, chocolate cake, Christmas Honey Deviled Ham, Fruitcake, jello in shape of angels, chocolate ice cream, chocolate cookies, ice cold milk, and even a Christmas Turkey.

Christina walked over and sat down at the Hufflepuff table and put together a plate of ham and turkey for her dog Rex who is a puggle and set it on the ground for him to eat. She herself got some Cherry Pie for breakfast and a nice cold glass of milk. She hoped there would be other Hufflepuff students joining her for breakfast.

"Santa!!!" said a loud, disgruntled female voice from the doors of the great hall. There stood the caretaker in all her amazingness with a giant bazooka. Ever since santa had failed to supply her with the missing 'my little pony' in her collection a few years ago, she had sworn herself as santa's worst enemy.... and the fat man was brilliant, he had genetically engineered reindeer ferrets...

"die kris kringle!!!" she said as she pulled the trigger of the weapon, watching it explode the plate of cherry pie on the table.

[Christina Abbot]

Christina was enjoying her cheery pie and had just eaten a piece when suddenly the cherry pie exploded and pieces of cherry pie landed on her. She looked around the room and saw someone she never met holding a bazooka. Her pet dog Rex who is a puggle jumped up on her and started licking away the pieces cherry pie on her face.

"Hey whats the idea destroying my piece of cherry pie with your bazooka I never did anything to you?"

She said as she got up and stood and looked over at the girl who had the bazooka.

[Kelsey]

"yes.... you didn't do anything did you mr. nicholas... you did nothing!!!" aiming the bazooka for a better shot.... but as her target turned around she was surprised to notice what she thought was a fat man, was actually a skinny girl... with a cultish appearance with santa's hat... o no, he's gaining power and minions! ... but after what happened the last time kelsey used a bazooka on school grounds, she lowered it and turned it off. The last thing she needed was to fill out paperwork of firing at students.... again.... "uhm.... hi.... I'm kelsey ^_^" she said nonchalently, completely ignoring the fact that pie was on every wall of the great hall. She just held out a hand in greeting as she smiled ^_^

[Christina Abbot]

Christina watched as the girl lowered the bazooka and turned it off feeling relieved and the girl offered her hand and greeted her.

"Hi Kelsey, I'm a first year Hufflepuff the dog besides me is Rex a puggle puppy, and the ferret eating from a plate on the floor is Baxter."
"So you thought I was Santa I heard you say Mr. Nicolos, why would you want to kill Santa he is so great bringing everyone presents?"
"Are you a student here?"

Christina asked as she gave the girl a nice warm smile and shook her hand.

[Kelsey]

"o being your age" she trailed off, still shaking the girls hand as her mind wandered to the past were santa used to bring inner peace and joy, which now only brought hate and depise for that man and his reindeer... although granted maybe that one time she stole the sleigh had to do with it....

when her dream sequence was done, she finally released the girl's hand... but flattery was brought when the little girl asked her of her educational status "o dear, I graduated YEARS ago. I'm the caretaker" she said happily, "just don't get detention or you might see more than the bazoooka" she swiped finger over the girls' pie covered nose and tasted it. "mmmm cherry ^_^" she laughed and skipped out of the dining hall, bazooka in hand

[Emily Dashwood]

emily heard a loud boom coming from the great hall. she ran inside and saw her friend christina covered in cherry pie. a lady was walking out with a big bazooka in her hand. 'what happened christina?' she asked. 'are you hurt?'

[Christina Abbot]

Christina was shaking Kelsey's hand the Caretaker at Hogwarts as she listened to her say about not getting detention or she might she more of her bazooka. Christina was not one to get detention so she was hardly worried about it.

She watched as Kelsey skipped out of the 'Great Hall' with her bazooka in hand as her newest friend Emily a first year 'Ravenclaw' came running over to her side with a worried look in her eyes. She had met her friend Emily on the train ride to 'Hogwarts' and she seemed really genuinely concerned about her.

"Yeah i'm ok it was just a cherry pie that exploded in my face."
"I think the 'Caretaker' Kelsey has had some bad experiences in her life and thought I was Santa Clause on mistake."
"Well I do have a Santa Hat on, I appreciate your concern I was just here having breakfast with my pets Baxter and Rex."
"The ferret eating from the plate of sausages on the ground is my pet Baxter and the puppy dog in my arms who was licking the cherry pie off my face is Rex he's a puggle."
"Were allowed to have pets here if we register them first with the Ministry of Magic and are approved."
"Baxter I bought at a pet store at 'Diagon Alley' and my puggle here I got in my 'Care of Magical Creatures' class."
"We had joined the 'Transfiguration' class to help their teacher Chase clean out some nasty 'Bundinums' that had infested her house."
"Well anyways part of the way we got rid of them after we trapped them was to transform them into cute puppy dogs, so thats how I got my puggle Rex."

Christina said with a smile as she explained to her friend Emily.

"How are you doing today did you come here for some breakfast?"

She asked as she picked up the empty plate Baxter had been eating off and placed it on the table, while picking up her ferret and placing him in her backpack.

"Baxter likes to stay in my backpack when i'm on the move, Rex my puippy is trained to follow me."

She explained.
