[[Mod-approved Charity Event]]

[truetensai]

Holiday greetings to all students and faculty of Hogwarts!!

As your Gryffindor prefect, I must say that I have been more than proud of the magnificent behaviour portrayed by the student body as of recent, and I would like to show my gratitude!!

Therefore, as a result, in the spirit of Christmas, each Hogwarts House shall be awarded....

..*rubs his ears -- it sounds all shimmery*

*faces the direction of Lee's voice, looking small and wary*

What if the children have no parents?

[truetensai]

...Then they would be orphans, thus making them less fortunate and even more requiring of such a boon on Christmas.

*thinking about this*

*finally, suddenly making up his mind, digs into the pocket of his shabby robes and holds out a fist...*

...*smiles!*

[jeitaken]

*still reaching forward, trying to sense where the coin is supposed to go.... and...

..it's a Knut. The smallest, saddest, most tarnished coin ever....

..he's been saving it.*

[truetensai]

*If only Lee knew that...then-...*

...

*...he smiles, and extends a hand*

Karma appreciates all goodwill, no matter how small. May I have your name, please?

[jeitaken]

*blinks, but the pale eyes are unfocused....*

Jei... I am in Ravenclaw.

*holding the coin higher* I cannot see your hand.

[truetensai]

Oh!! I am so sorry! I was not aware-...

*directs his hand to his*

[jeitaken]

*nods, doesn't want to talk about it; gives him the Knut*

...

What is your name?

[truetensai]

*smiles brightly. He knows that he cannot see that, but it rings through his voice*

...My name is Rock Lee! 6th-year Gryffindor Prefect!

[jeitaken]

*!! nearly overwhelmed by GOOD CHEER*

...

This endeavor must be very pleasing to you.

[truetensai]

Oh, very much so! Would you have donated if it were not pleasing to you as well?

[jeitaken]

*a little disturbed, not liking to analyze his own motives*

But I donated because it was right.

[truetensai]

Many people have their definition of what is wrong and right...Some follow custom...For example, someone here donated 2.5 percent on their earnings for the charity based on religious belief. ^^

[jeitaken]

*nods* I do not know that one, but sharing what you have with the deserving is the right thing to do.
