I'm shocked my own self.

@SladkiySova absolutely blew me away with the thoughtfulness, effort, and artfulness of their Secret Santa gift !! Not only did they take an interest in something that is special to me, they actually binge-watched Firefly - like the whole damn show - and made me a unique and very personalised present!

It's a clue-style journal entry where you have to guess who the author's parents are based on the content of the entry. It's a very clever, considered, and well-done gift ♥ If you would like to read it, they have posted it here: A Secret Santa Game of Clue!

Thank you again SladkiySova!

[Jumbled]

This sassy little bug made me the most precious art and I love it so much. Here I was thinking James threw my name in the trash or something. But then she walks in, fashionably late and fabulous as always.

Spoiler: A (Hogwarts) Scene from the World of Harry Potter

Proffesor Rosencrantz had been entrusted to take over the 'Defence against dark arts' class in hogwards and has just stepped on the board of hogwards express. Familiar memories flooded his senses. The train had not changed since he attented Hogwards himself. Childrens faces filled with wonder and excitment. The smell of the snacks cart still lingering in the booth he had chosen to sit down at.

He reminiscent on his school years as the landscaped behind the window shifted. It was so familiar yet so distant. He remembered how naive he used to be how blind to the evils of this world he had been. Even with returning to the castle where he had just been a kid it was impossible to return to the one hopeful child he had been. He had to think on how he would approach his first lesson expecally with the first years. He definetly was not looking forward to breaking their illusions of the world they lived in being safe.

He was the last one to get off the train, making sure no one had fell asleep or remained on the train for other reasons. By the time he catched up to the first years the ground keeper had counted the kids. "Oh no... Mister Rosencrantz... we have two first years missing!" The redhaired man didn't seem too worried. "Well take the rest of them up to the castle, I'll track those two down."

Some of the children gasped seeing a transformation for the first time. Where once had stood their teacher now stood a wolf, only it had kept the color of their teachers crimson hair.

He quickly picked up the scent of two stragglers leading towards the forbidden forest. Soon enough he catched up to two mischievious looking boys. They froze one they saw the red wolf, thinking they would have to fight to get away. Instead the red wolf turned into their teacher. "Not even first day of school yet and you two are already getting into trouble! If you were divided into houses yet I would dock points from both of you!" He could bet these two rascals would end up in Griffindor.
