For the ‘Happy Holidays’ challenge at grangersnape100 on LJ.

Hagrid hauled a Christmas tree into Hogwarts, singing tunelessly and loudly.

“A waste of time!” Snape grumbled to himself.

Magical, glittering snow fell from the ceiling of the Great Hall.

“Useless distractions!” Snape sneered to himself.

“Do try and smile this Christmas, Severus,” Minerva said reprovingly to him.

Snape raised an eyebrow condescendingly at her.

“No, I will not be kissed under your stupid mistletoe, Ron Weasley!”

Snape quickly rounded the corner to see an angry Miss Granger blasting some garish mistletoe with a well-aimed spell.

Mr Weasley fled in the opposite direction.

“Happy Holidays,” Snape murmured, feeling much better.
