Dear Safiye, @safiyetekin

Despite being the same year and house, our paths have unfortunately not crossed as much as they should. We should change that, especially after all the wonderful things Sebastian ( @nott-sebastian ) has told me about you. Speaking of, this gift is more of a gift for you to share with him as I’ve been told a little about the unfortunate circumstances of your love. It breaks my heart that two people aren’t able to just be themselves and be happy and in love. So, inside this box, I’ve included a plethora of ice cream toppings, but that’s not where it ends.

My uncle and his partner have agreed to allow for the two of you to use Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour as a place to share a special evening for just the two of you, if you wish for someone to serve you two, that can be arranged, otherwise the place will be all to yourselves, as well as the ice cream in the disks. We’ve also laid out a selection of other treats given to us by a few other shops around Diagon Alley.

This all is accompanied by a large screen and a projector, should the two of you wish to watch a movie together. We hope that the two of you are able to enjoy a night of romance without the worry of interruption or fear.

Sincerely,       Your Secret Santa + Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour.

“This isn’t fair, I’m not done picking out your present just yet. Couldn’t you have waited at least a day longer?”  Charlie teased, but accepted the gift regardless, smiling at Alice.

Sybill laughed as she dragged her friend out of the cold and into The Three Broomsticks. After spending the day exploring the Winter festival, she figured that it was time for a break. “How about some warm butterbeer and a tarrot reading before we go back out to the markets?” she asked as she led the way over to a table in the corner. “Just to prepare ourselves for some more exploring? Maybe we can even get a glimpse of who’ll win the snowman building competition.” she grinned. “What do you say?”

Charlie hadn't felt herself the past few weeks and because of this, she’d taken to avoiding some of her favorite people and throwing all of her energy into work and school. It was easy to slide under the radar with exams, but now that the holidays were near, Charlie knew her cheerful self was expected, so after a good and long talk with her Uncle’s, she was back to spreading joy. The Winter Festival and it’s warm spirit definitely helped, too, as did friends like Sybil. “That sounds like the perfect way to unwind.” Charlie smiled, though it seemed more forced than usual, perhaps having a tarot reading would help in easing her mind. “Or I can find out what Ted’s getting Gideon and vice versa, so I don’t double up on gifts this year.”

Pandora had some time to burn before she planned on going home. There was something enchanted about the castle during this time of year as students slowly made their ways home. She was in no rush. With Ted going to stay with the Longbottoms, it would be just her and their parents. She missed them for sure, but she wanted to enjoy and bask in the glow that was Hogsmeade during the holidays. She wandered through the booths before she spotted a familiar face in the crowd. “Charlie! You’re here!” she exclaimed with a wave, running over to her friend. “I thought you would’ve gone home already.”

“I actually am not sure I’m headed home for the holiday season or at least, not the entirety of them,” Charlie admitted with a large grin. She loved Fortescue Christmas, but this year she was looking to give back and after making the suggestion at home, the rest seemed to be more than willing to partake. After all, what more could the happy family need? “We wanted to try something different this year, so I’ll still see them, we always see each other, but there’s so many sad kiddos here, someone has to bring them some form of cheer. What about you? When are you headed home?”

“Well I suppose that’s always a plus of being friends with you,” Gideon grinned, before it fell quickly at their more serious conversation. “It’s fucking me up, Charlie.” He sighed, shaking his head. “I don’t know. I don’t think there’s any way for him to leave, but it sucks to be away from him. This feelings shit sucks so bad.” Gideon chewed on his lower lip, shrugging his shoulders too. “I know, I just … don’t see this going well, either way. Either I’m going to get my heart broken which is what I was trying to avoid or…. Well, his parents find out.”

"I'd say it's ONE of many," Charlie argued, fidgeting with her fingers as the conversation made her more nervous. “Maybe the best thing to do is to move on then, not only for you but for both of you. I know this is going to sound awful because I always tell you to fight for what you love and happiness but from what it sounds like, with all that’s happening now...happiness doesn’t sound attainable.” She swallowed and glanced over at her friend, usually she was the last person to tell someone to go against love, but this was Gideon. Charlie chewed on her bottom lip nervously. “He’s not just a member of a pureblood family, but one of the most elite. The things they’re capable of, the things they’ve done...just, maybe I’m selfish for saying this, but I don’t like any of this.”

“Very true. Uncle Marcy can be scary if he wants to be,” Juliet shook her head. “Obligated?” Her brows furrowed as she turned towards the other. “Charlie, are you hiding something from me?” She looked at the other curiously, before narrowing her eyes further. “Okay, you’re rambling. Why are you nervous?”

"Guess it's a genetics thing," Charlie teased, nudging the girl lightly as she forced a grin. "Obligated might've been a poor choice of words, I didn't mean it like that, just that we're family and family looks out for one another, that’s all.” She insisted, swallowing as she instinctively reached out for the bottle Juliet was holding and downed a decent gulp, anything to avoid the truth. “This isn’t half bad, you know?” Charlie stated, grimacing as she wiped her mouth.

“Yes, yes, I’m sure you have the cold scheduled for sometime later, when you’re prepared for it.” Olivia deadpanned, raising her brows at the stubborness. It still wasn’t the worst excuse or explanation she had heard from the students. Yet, her next statement finally brought an amused smile on her face, as Olivia moved to get the student the potion. “Let me guess, the scoop of ice cream is also apple flavored?” She asked sarcastically, as she measured the correct amount of potion for the other to take.

"Matter of fact, I do. I had it planned for just a few days before Christmas and for it to disappear just before New Year’s Eve, but I’m merely an ice cream connoisseur, not an ice queen.” Charlie huffed out a dramatic sigh, shaking her head in disapproval. “And I’ve yet to discover a spell that helps in controlling or changing the weather.” The Hufflepuff admitted, scrunching their nose as they spotted the potion. “No, though that would be an excellent idea for a flavor, though we already have an apple turnover inspired ice cream, maybe next time I’ll give that a whirl.”

“gids is too busy falling in love and i have been busy with older brother duties and being a prefect.” he said, looking amused. “also everytime i go to flo’s i end up talking forever and cutting my visits to other shops too short.” he said, shaking his head. 

“Yeah, there’s of course that,” Charlie grumbled. If someone didn’t know Charlie, it might’ve sounded as though she was jealous of the fact that Gid was falling in love. But Charlie definitely wasn’t, she wanted him to be happy, she wanted all of them to be happy but she was worried. “I know, when did we all start getting lives? Can’t we just quit them for a day and go be idiots?” That’s EXACTLY what Charlie needed, a day to just be the three of them, like the good times. “You say that like it’s a bad thing, we are the best shop.”

Molly, in the middle of all her Defense Against the Dark Arts exams, felt like a zombie. Literally, the walking dead. She studied all night, took care of first years, and it felt like her only free time was walking to and fro classes, lunch, and her dorm. She was currently on her way to the latter, hardly hearing as Charlie called out for her, chased up to her. Only the slight desperation in Charlie’s please pulled her from her funk, glancing over at her brother’s dearest friend. “Char, sorry,” she apologized, letting the other girl catch up to her. She’d hardly realized how fast she’d been walking. “I’m just on my way back to my room. I swear, DaDa is going to kill me one of these days,” she teased, knowing that she was presently running on maybe three hours of sleep. “What’s going on?”

"I shouldn't be saying anything, but I'm concerned for Gideon. He's falling for someone he shouldn't, and well, I usually wouldn’t care because love is love and I don’t judge people on who or what they love but the problem isn’t the who, it’s the family. I’ve seen first hand what they’re capable of,” Once Charlie started her rambles, it was impossible for her to be stopped. So, here she was blurting everything out at Molly. Did this make her a terrible friend? Potentially, but if it meant saving Gid’s life, she’d take the consequences. “Well, at least the aftermath, and the idea of Gideon being the next person I find half-dead by the trash bins at work, well, I don’t want to think about it....but I can’t STOP thinking about it.”
