"Worst christmas movie ever and Will Ferrell isn’t even that funny. He’s just annoying."

It’s okay, I’m with you on that boat. Have you done all your Christmas shopping yet?

That is the one thing that I haven't done yet, have you?

"Elf? Really?"

What's wrong with Elf?

Breathe, Annie. Breathe.

I should pester the House Elves to let me help them make Christmas cookies      Oh, I could hang up fairy lights everywhere!      Huh? Oh, right. I'm okay, I'm breathing. Thanks for the reminder, but I just love Christmas.

"That is an awful lot to like about Christmas. Are you this passionate about all holidays?"

I suppose I am, but don't you just love Christmas? It's a magical time.

Are you alright there, Annie?

Of course I'm alright, Ezra. I just love Christmas      one of my favourite holidays, of course. Aside from my birthday but that doesn't really count as a holiday, does it?

Sounds brilliant. Well, I don’t want to keep you from studying, you know, that would make me bad company and all. But I do love your company, so…

Screw it, let's go, because I'm starving and my company is awesome.

Pie. Noted. What kind?

It is, it is so funny! — But, I’ll stop talking now. I’m usually not supposed to say anything, but sure he has. And good things. 

I wouldn't      I would never hurt him. Never ever. 

You puke in his mouth and that would be the highlight of your date, seriously. At least, it would be the highlight for me. I can tell you do, and he likes you a lot as well. I’m actually glad he has someone like you to make him happy, but don’t tell him I said that.

Alice! That is seriously not funny      has he said anything about me? Oh don't worry, I wouldn't say anything.

"I will try my best" Al said with a smile. "So what are you working on that you need it to be so quiet?"

"I'm studying for Potions, I seem to be doing worse in that subject than the rest."

I thought she knew what she was talking about. Obviously not.

She definitely doesn't know what she's talking about, no matter how much she tries to convince you that she does. It's a never ending cycle, I'm afraid.

You’ll do great. You’re very smart. Oh, no. What can I do for ya, milady? Sneak some lunches from the kitchen? I can arrange that.

Lunches from the kitchen sounds great! I have a craving for pie, though.

And all this time I thought the Fat Lady trained me well.

If you're taking tips from the Fat Lady, I feel sorry for you. 

So, Ezra told me you guys have a date coming up. 

We do! I'm really excited      and nervous. Oh Merlin, what if I puke everywhere? I mean, we've already kissed, so I won't like... Puke in his mouth, but I'm so      I really like him.

Sorry, I didn’t realise anyone else was here.

Don't worry about it      now you know.
