Fay buys Anathema a few bottles of potions to lengthen or shorten your hair, as well as some temporary dyes that're a bit more advanced than what Anathema herself can already brew, and a slim book on using magic to modify hair styles.

The next day, Anathema insists on being dropped off in London after withdrawing money, and their trip takes a bit longer than Ellie's had; still, they're done soon enough. Fay goes back to taking them out to this or that restaurant once a week, also taking them to see some Christmas-themed attractions. (Anathema is very fascinated by light displays.)

Ellie decorates her own wrapping paper, as last year, adding a charm to make it magically sparkly.

Are they going to do a tree, since they're home this year?

Permalink

That sounds delightful, actually - and since they have electricity, they can wrap it with as many colorful strings of light as will fit, as well as an initial generic load of sparkly Christmas ornaments.

Hurrah! Somewhere to put the presents until Christmas morning.

Permalink

Anathema has a lot of fun decorating the tree - and a lot of fun carefully stacking her presents under its boughs. "Should we also open any Yule gifts on Christmas?"

Permalink

"Dunno. Might be nice to do everything at once? Unless you don't want the holidays to get smeared together."

Permalink

"Smeared together's okay. Holidays should be a bit messy."

Permalink

"All at once, then."

Permalink

"Alright." She wiggles a bit. "I'm excited!"

Permalink

"Should be fun."

Permalink

"Yeah."

Anathema spends the intervening days rather bouncy.

Perks of being home: they can go run around outside freely.

Permalink

Yeah!!! It's less snowy here than around Hogwarts, too - snow's fun for a little bit but enough of it seriously hampers 'running amok.' 

Permalink

It is pretty hard to run amok when you can't actually run.

Permalink

A bit of a challenge.

Permalink

There's probably a spell for it, though...

Permalink

And if there isn't, they can make one.

Something else for the projects file.

Giggle.

They'll get to it eventually.

Permalink

Eventually!

Shoulder bump.

Hee.

Christmas rolls in fairly soon. Anathema waits for Ellie to wake up on her own again, though she's clearly vibrating impatiently.

Permalink

Typical Anathema.

Ellie doesn't keep her waiting too long.

Such a great Ellie.

And now: presents!
