"Sirius,"Lucia said,looking up at the boy."What the hell are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"Sirius."Lucia repeated."You're perched at the top of the Christmas tree!"

"So?"

"Why?"

"Because I'm a star?"

"Oh,my gosh!"Aanya said to Hestia,"What is he doing?"

"Being an idiot,clearly,"

Marlene snorted.

"Sirius,get down from there please,"Peter begged.

"No!"The boy said firmly."As a star,it is my rightful place to be at the top of this tree,"

"James.Do something!"Lucia hissed.

"I've already tried,trust me,"

"He has,"Remus confirmed.

"Oh,my days,"Alice Fortescue muttered to her boyfriend,Frank Longbottom."What is that idiot trying to do?"

"I don't know."

"You're Headboy!"The former hissed."Do something!"

"Like what?"

"Sirius,you are not the star,that goes at the top of the tree,"Said Lily,gently.

"Yes I am."

"No you are not!"

"How did he even get up there anyway?"Alice asked.

"The Prewett Twins levitated him,"Jessica replied.

Alice turned onto the twins."Can't you levitate him down from there too?"

"It ummm,"Fabian said scratching his head,nervously."It um doesn't work that way,"

"What do you mean?"Alice demanded,"How does it not work that way?"

"Gid and Jess know!"

"Don't look at me!"Jessica said defensively,palms in the air.

"Gideon?"

"Well..."

Lucia was quite fed up by now.

"Get.down.from.there,"She snarled,grabbing her wand from her pocket.

Sirius swallowed,nervously."No,"

"And why-ever not?"

"I don't want to!"

"Get.down.from.there.now,"Lucia hissed,her grey eyes flashing with a hint of anger,as she pointed her wand at him.

This girl had made a snow castle from scratch using only her wand,and Sirius wasn't going to mess with her more than he should.

And Sirius gingerly put his foot on a branch.
And then another foot.
The tree slowly began to tip over.

Sirius screamed as he jumped from the tree,which landed in the fireplace.

The tree was on fire.

Quite a lot of voices yelled "Aguamenti,"

It was of no real use however;the tree had already burnt down.

"Great,"Frank muttered staring at a burnt Christmas tree."No more Christmas,"

"Shut up,Frank!"

"Do that again,Sirius,"Lucia said loudly,"And I will cut of every single one of your fingers,and shove them down your throat."

The boy gulped as half the common room paled.

"Now,who's going to ask McGonagall for a new tree?"Alice asked.

"The Headboy,obviously!"

The Common Rooms inhabitants turned to Frank.

"Hold up,"Frank said."I never agreed to that!"

"You did now!"

"That woman is terrifying!"Frank defended."I'm not going!"

Jessica scoffed."Some lions we are.Can't even go to ask a teacher for a new tree."

"I'll go!"Gideon and Fabian said in unison.

"And I,obviously will accompany you idiots,seeing as you cannot be trusted without me,"Jessica said.

"With all due respect,they can't be trusted with you either,"Frank pointed out.

"Would you like to go instead?"Jessica hissed as she whipped around.

"No,"the Headboy said as he looked down,flushing red.
