We have returned to Hogwarts. Aside from Father donning red robes and insisting that he was that fabricated wizard who delivers presents on Christmas Eve, it was largely uneventful

At least your father was having fun.

[kid8dik]

Yes, Father believes in having...an excessive amount of merriment.

[donttelldaddy]

There's nothing wrong with that, is there?

[kid8dik]

Everything must remain in proper balance. Including having fun.

I'm surprised to hear that Americans are calm about the war. It would be easy enough for dark wizards to attack them as well.

[kid8dik]

The threat of dark wizards has always been present, but the Death Eaters in particular are not being taken seriously.

[dofaye]

That only makes it worse, doesn't it?

[kid8dik]

It is largely considered to be a localized threat. Very few attacks in America are being attributed to the Death Eaters, so for the time being, the wizarding community seems unconcerned.

your dad is santa claus?

[kid8dik]

...No. Santa Claus is fabricated.

[fearnoanvil]

i don't know, dude. he might be telling the truth.

[kid8dik]

No.

It sounds rather nice your father was enjoying the festivities, I hope you enjoyed the holidays Kid. [And the nice symmetrical homemade candies she sent for Christmas.]

Huh? You mean they don't even mention it?

Yes, the Holidays were overall enjoyable. Father took us to a shooting range to try out our new gifts!

[laaaaawl, I was just saying to Mozart that Kid got Tsubaki cookie cutters in symmetrical shapes.]

[kid8dik]

They seem aware of it if the topic arises, but otherwise it is only mentioned in passing.

Ah right, Liz mentioned her present before. It seems odd to me, but I suppose that's just due to America being quite different from the U.K.
