Holiday Gift Exchange

Every year Christine Allen set up the annual gift exchange, something a little different from a secret santa.

Students could drop presents by her office the week before the official exchange. Some packages were anonymous, some from parents who wanted their kids to have a little gift basket of snacks to finish off the semester, some were from professors or fellow students who wanted to share in the spirit of the holiday season.

By the end of the week she'd send out a fleet of little owls inviting anyone who received a present to drop by her office Monday afternoon to pick it up.

  Veronica baked Leland an apple pie (since he seems to like them, though none ever compare to his aunt's pie).
  
  The note attached reads:
  Dear Leland,
  
  Sorry I've been very weird this semester. I had a lot going on, some of which I can't talk about because of highly secretive wizarding rules. Honestly, I'm not even certain I can say that much. Maybe I'll see you at Cinna's New Year's bash.

    Leland got Veronica an old history book and a golden snitch necklace.
    
    The note reads:
    Dear V,
    
    It's alright, though you're starting to sound like a spy or something. That was wicked stupid. I'm such an idiot. You know you can talk to me if you need to. I know I'm not exactly the best at that sorta stuff. I'll see you there. I really hope your holidays are well.

    P.S. The pie was amazing.
