Winter's Influence

Winter at Hogwarts was-to Harry-the best season of the year. All the snow falling, covering every surface in a thick unblemished alabaster blanket, the cold that tickled the nose and numbed fingers, and those crystal clear winter nights; yes, it was a great season. Winter also meant the coming of Christmas at Hogwarts, and Harry had all his gifts, except for the one he was most concerned with. In the chilled grounds of Hogwarts, perhaps Harry may realize that sometimes the best gift, is one that can't be wrapped.
