Diana, a talented Gryffindor, sat in the most usual place for a singled out student. Madam Puddifoots. It was a warm and quite feeling in the atmosphere around her. She was glad that it wasn't Valentine's Day or she would have to leave. Many waitresses took Diana as a act of stability to renew her life in a most coupled place. Turning her head silently she watched the gentle snow fall on the streets below. Hearing another 'Jingle' in the bells when the door open her eyes flickered up to see a couple from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw walk in. Diana rolled her eyes away and stared back out the window while the couples around drank the holiday drink Egg Nog. Diana didn't know why she came here to begin with.

Matt liked this place besides all the couples around the place, but he kinda of reminded him of something his grandmother would decorate a place like.. he knew it was a cheesy stupid thought but he didn't much care. He walked up to the counter and ordered something to drink. And looked around for a table, he noticed a girl int eh corner sitting alone so he walked over. " Hey, mind if I join you?" he asked her.

Diana glanced up from her dazed look from the window to find a boy a year younger then she was and in a different house. She smiled at him,"Of course." she said glad that she wasn't alone or with someone that she hated. Diana looked at him before ordering another cup of tea,"So how is your year going?" she asked.

Matt gave a quick smile. " Thanks." he stated sitting down across from her. " My years going pretty good... how about yours?" he asked her glancing around the room a bit before returning his gaze back on her.

"Okay. I guess, I thought that my last year was going to be easy, but now I'm not sure." she replied back not having much to say about her final year which had been going smoothly until a week ago. Diana took a sip of her new tea before glancing by out the window at the snow.

" Hmm, I hear actually that the last year is the hardest. Except I won't really know after all I'm only a 6th year." he stated. He took a drink out of his drink ( never really picked what he was drinking) He glanced out the window now too. He had to admit the snow was a pretty sight for the most part besides the cold and all.

"Well. For some the last year is, but some just glade on through. I'm sure next year for you will go alright." Diana said trying to lift up the spirits for her sake. Silence was something that she hated, but she started it sometimes. "Are you planning on staying for Christmas here at Hogwarts? Or going home like many do?" she asked curious about it so many of her fellow Gryffindors were leaving for Christmas at home.

Matt shrugged a bit. " I'm not really worried about next year right now I'm just going to concentrate on this year. I won't start worrying till this summer." he stated. " Christmas... i don't know it depends. I know my grandmother would wan;t me home for Christmas so more then likely yeah, I will be. " he stated with a short smile. "What about you?" he asked her.

Diana breathed a deep sigh,"I can't go home since my parents will be traveling. My mother in going home to Wales and my father is going to America. So I'll be staying here." she said sadly it was her 4th time staying at Hogwarts over Christmas break. The castle was always decorated beautifully for the Holiday.

" Oh," Matt stated simple he really didn't know what to say to that, he always had been able to go home for the holidays if he wanted his grandma was always warm and welcoming when he came home... but in his opp ion or of what he knew most grandparents were. He loved walking into his home smelling freshed baked cookies for Christmas.

Diana laughed,"It's nothing to worry about. It's my 4th time staying here. "she knew that from the start less students, more delicious foods, walk the corridors at night since most of the staff were gone home. Diana smiled at the thought, but the sad thing was that there were only a few of her house mates mostly 4th and 3rd years.

" Your fourth time! Whats it like here during Christmas?" he asked her curiously he always had wondered about that. He heard from some students it was pretty neat here during Christmas they had a Christmas feast, Christmas trees, and could walk around school longer at night, and what not.

Diana smiled,"Well some of us help put up the decorations, Christmas tree. We do have a feast, but the real thing is running around at night to places that we've never been to like I have so I'm the Senior of Night Walks as they call me. It's pretty neat to stay here for Christmas." she said loving to talk about this to other student who has never been here for the Christmas season.

Matt gave a quick smile at her as she finished. " I see.." he stated simple for a bit. " Sounds interesting, I have always wondered about that thats why I haven't made up my mind yet about the whole staying here for Christmas but I was thinking of maybe staying next year for Christmas it being my last year here and all.." he stated with a sort shrug.

"Most people do that here just to get a taste for what Christmas at Hogwarts is like." Diana said with a short smile before turning back to her tea once more. She knew that next year she would be at home with her parents and celebrating her homecoming.
