It's going to be the hols soon and all the students will be going home. I'll still be here of course and I'll really be able to get some work done on the Lord Protector's book. I spend a lot of time drawing the same pictures again and again because I want them to be good, and fortuneately I'm becoming a lot better at it. When I've made something good I will ask Madam Pince to use a spell and copy it here. Not that anyone wants to read what a Mudblood writes I know but maybe it would be nice for Headmistress McGonagall to be able to see what I'm making for her.
I was thinking about this time of year in the camps. I am much warmer now than I ever was then. We were lucky because we didn't have to go out to work outside the camps proper, but it was still very cold, in every camp I ever remember being at. Some of them are very different than others because different Muggle buildings are different but they were all cold.
Here I don't have to go out into the snow. I'm grateful for that. Mum liked to talk about how we should be grateful at Christmas. Last year it was harder to be grateful than this year because Mum and Daddy weren't there. I have more things to be grateful about now even though they aren't here, because of course I have everything in Hogwarts, which is lovely. Mum said things that make me think that when she was my age she had things like there are in Hogwarts, only she is a Muggle so I don't see how she could have, but I suppose things were very different then.
I think I might ask Madam Pince if I can put some fir branches over the doors in the library where they won't get on the books. When I was little Mum couldn't always get holly or mistletoe but she would always find something evergreen to put up somewhere, which I think must be something that Muggles learned from wizards because they're magical too, aren't they? Anyway they look very pretty against the snow.
