The grounds of Hogwarts always looked so pretty coated in a layer of snow, glistening like a winter wonderland, one could almost get lost in its beauty. One could also freeze to death outside, but who really cared about that, it was almost Christmas after all. The most wonderful time of the year, apart from birthdays, birthdays always bought joy and happiness to the life of Savannah.

Savannah wandered the grounds a thick Ravenclaw scarf wound around her neck and multiple layers of clothing covering her body, in fact she even went as far as to put two socks on. She didn't deal with the cold well and most could tell just by looking at her.

Eyes wide, showing off their colour, a soft mint green that warmed the heart and face pale. She looked almost like a ghost whenever she was out in the cold weather. Except there probably weren't any ghosts with teal streaked through their hair but then again maybe, just maybe there was.

She let a smile touch her lips as snow began to fall softly around her, she was reminded of a book she had read about the fact that everyone is different, like snowflakes. Each individual flake of snow has a different pattern just like every single person is different to another person even if they look the same, you get a closer look and you see the differences.

Most of her friends had gone home for the holidays so she had the castle almost to herself which was quite enjoyable actually. She didn't have to coop herself up in the farthest corner of the library to read in peace. She could read wherever and whenever she wanted, just as long as it wasn't too cold in that particular place. She'd read a lot but hadn't gained much knowledge as the books she had read were fast paced or long drawn out romances making her squeal and laugh out loud with not a care in the world.

Squinting a little as she entered the castle, the sunlight affecting her eyes and making everything a little too dark for her liking she stumbled into a figure in front of her.

"Oh, careful there, wouldn't want you tripping for the Nargles to get you." a soft and dreamy voice spoke, holding her up.

Blinking a few times the face came into focus and she was confronted with beautiful eyes and silky smooth blonde hair, "S-sorry," Savannah managed to stutter out, suddenly nervous around the beautiful stranger.

"It's alright, I'm Luna it's nice to meet you—"

"S-savannah, Savannah Lynn."

Luna smiled, "Beautiful isn't it?" she gestured to the snow outside.

"Yes," Savannah breathed out her response, this girl would be the death of her she was sure.

"Do you want to, walk around with me? After all it is a little lonely to be in the castle at Christmas time and I'm sure we'd both enjoy the company."

And so Savannah agreed. She spent a rather pleasant evening with the dreamy girl, sometimes Luna would start thinking about something only to lose focus in what she was doing, almost running into a pole here and there. Savannah could only giggle softly, she was nervous, very nervous and extremely shy yet she couldn't help but get to know the girl called Luna.

Luna it seemed was in the year above her and had quite the reputation for being a little bit loony but Savannah didn't mind, not one bit. Her dad ran a magazine called the Quibbler and Savannah made a mental note to read a few issues later when she had the time, which she would.

It was after a long day that Savannah reluctantly said goodnight to Luna and headed up to bed, smiling at the thought of possibly spending more time with the strange girl over the holidays.

It was no surprise when Christmas morning rolled around and sitting by her bed was a present from Luna, Christmas was a wonderful time of the year she decided.
