the Hogwarts Christmas Spirit?

Over the last week, it had been growing much colder. The dull, near constant rain of the last few weeks had cleared, and each morning saw a glittering frost carpeting the grounds. Some of the teachers had taken this to mean "Christmas is coming", in particular Professor Flitwick, who had decorated his classroom with tiny, glittering fairies.

With the Christmas Holidays fast approaching, the atmosphere in the castle was fairly relaxed for the most part, but a couple of new Outsiders arriving had caused a few whispers. Thankfully, after the students had become a little more familiar with the ones already present, the whispers were largely wondering why they had arrived so close to the end of term, and why the majority were winding up in Gryffindor House.

Some of the students, however, were clearly feeling a little more hostile towards the new arrivals. It was surely not coincidence that the various suits of armour had taken to harassing the Outsiders - grabbing them, following and chasing them, snatching things from their hands and occasionally even attempting to strike them.

If they listened carefully, the sound of faint laughter might just be heard.

[Yes, a few sixth year Slytherins have decided it'd be a great idea to try and scare the Outsiders. Suits of armour around the castle have been charmed to bug them and them alone - some are just a nuisance, and some are aggressive, depending on who's charmed it.]

No, you go. I'm going to fight it.

If you're fighting, then so am I.

Have you fought anything like this before?

Not - directly. But it's targeting me. I'd like to help out.

Then it's okay! You can go - I do this all the time.

At least let me distract it while I go.



Look over here! Heyy!

That was - really something...



What you did. That wasn't magic too, was it?

Then...



Are you also - from another world?

Ah...mm.



My world isn't all that different....it's the same countries and the same languages. But something must have changed here, long ago, for magic to develop.
