Remus Lupin

I've made a start on the Christmas decorations today. It's terribly tiring, I must confess, especially so soon after the full moon, but the children are off on Friday, so it's now or never. The Christmas decorations were always one of my favourite things about Hogwarts when I was here, although I never quite appreciated how much work it entailed for our caretaker. It's only when you walk from end to end via every little nook and cranny in the place that you realise just how large it truly is.

Well, the Great Hall is done, at least, although I may make a few tweaks here and there before the Christmas feast, for those of us who are staying. I should be able to get most of the rest done over the next few days.

Hermione, there are a few little bits and pieces left over, which I won't be able to use anywhere else. If Madam Pince wouldn't mind a bit of colour in the library, and you'd like them for your niche, do come and fetch them.
