     I woke up late today. I looked over at my calander, which now said November 22nd. It was Thursday.

     "Thanksgiving." I mumbled to myself quietly . I jumped out of bed and opened my drawer. I grabbed a sweater with thin, felt fall leaves stitched carefully all over. I pulled on some reddish orange jeans, and put my shoes on. I grabbed my bag and wand, and headed to the common room.

     Thanksgiving had always been my favorite holiday. Since I was a child, I loved sitting with loved ones and sharing thoughts while eating a hot meal.

     When I got downstairs, Jake,Tessa, and Anna were about to leave. Tessa saw me.

     "Hey, Mark. Happy Thanksgiving!" She came and hugged me.

     "Happy Thanksgiving, Tessa." I replied happily .

     "You wanna walk with us?"

     " Sure. Let's go. "

     We walked silently through the halls until we got to the Great Hall. Jake went to sit with Austin and Tessa and Anna went to sit with Nala. I sat down in my usual spot at the Gryffindor table.

     I was thinking of something to do today when Ivy and Ivana came in, with wheels on their feet.  One of my eyebrows arched.a

     "Umm.. What are y'all doing?" I ask.

     "Skating, duh!" Ivana says, rolling her eyes.

     "I know that. But, why are you skating?" 

     "It's sort of a Whitmore/ Sallow tradition." Ivy says happily.

     " And it's fun! " Ivana adds. They do a handshake with a funny gun pose.

     Just then, Dumbledore rises from his seat. 

     "Due to today's date and importance to the community." Dumbledore says, "Classes will be canceled. Your Thanksgiving will begin at 13:00."  He walks out of the Great Hall. Going to his office I guessed.

     "So what are you grateful for, Mark?" Ivy asks.

     "Everything really." I answer honestly . "What about you two?"

     "My friends!" They both say at the same time. I chuckle.

     We sat down and are fruit that was available on the table. Post came soon. I got a letter from my parents.

Dear Mark,

     Happy Thanksgiving! Congratulations on getting Ravenclaw sweetie. Your Father and I are equally proud. We're sorry it took so long to write back. We've both been busy with work. I look forward to seeing you this Christmas!!

                                                                           Love,

                                                                                     Mom and Dad

     I looked at the other letter I got.

     "Hey, we got out semester exam scores!" I open mine and read it aloud.
