Padma Patil

Especially everyone who celebrates Christmas and who's staying at Hogwarts this year!

I just wanted to say I think we're all very lucky to be here at a time when such important events are happening and I hope the fact that loads of us are here makes it easier for people who would normally be home with their families.

And Justin, everyone in Ravenclaw is very happy to hear that you'll be all right. I guess something's happened, too, because the Beauxbatons 7th-years are all well upset about what happened to you. Well, the whole delegation, really, but especially the 7th-years. But I think your friend JP was going to come see you anyway and maybe he'll tell you all about it.

But we've a little something for you when Madam Pomfrey lets you come back, which I hope will be tomorrow because it would be really really awful to have to spend all of Christmas in the Hospital Wing, even if Matron's the very best Healer there is (which she pretty much is, so you're in really good hands!).

And by the way, to everyone who was photographed or mentioned in the Prophet and in Teen Witch (they have a special edition on the Yule Ball), congratulations!

Happy Christmas!
