She looked up to see Eleanor smiling at her and smiled back. "Hi! I'm just trying to find good soil to pot my plants in so I'm justing pokeing around." SHe got up from the ground and brushed off any dust or dirt.

"Thanks!" Sakato gave her a small hug and went to collect some dirt for the roses.

"Nope, I'm fine!" She scooped up the soil and smoothed it into her pot.

Eleanor sighed happily as she arrived to her home, suitcases in hand. She was out for a visit to St Mungo's, to see her father. Mr Duke liked experiments an awful lot, and plus he was a good friend of Xeno Lovegood. So you can't doubt that something good will come out of this friendship.
She threw the bags on the wooden floor of the hut and kneeled down in front of her cat, Willow.
"My Willow!", she chuckled as the female cat climbed on her lap, "What's up?" she cooed. Willow meowed joyfully, and Eleanor laughed. She stood up, carrying her cat tightly. The Head of the Gryffindor house sat cross-legged on the couch and scratched the cat's belly.
"Daddy's doing fine.", she muttered as she snuggled her nose against Willow's, "He's kind of going mad but fine." she chuckled. She let Willow off her embrace and headed to the kitchen for a bowl of milk for the feline. After that, she wrapped herself with a leather jacket and Gryffindor scarf, and carried a box of Christmas decorations outside the hut. She frowned at her "house" and thought about how she could decorate it. She levitated a rope of Christmas light and placed it all around the hut, smiling proudly. The roof was already covered in snow, so it gave a nice holiday spirit. She turned to the biggest pine tree on the borders of the Forbidden Forest and decorated it, too, Again, she placed Christmas lights, candy canes, bells, small presents contained a bag of candy from Honeydukes and finally, she levitated a golden star on the top of the tree. Smiling proudly, Eleanor took the empty box and went back into the hut, ready to ornament her house with candles, bells and other Christmas embellishment.

Apparently, taking off the Christmas lights was even more tiring than putting them on. She tied her hair into a messy bun, considering with a soft smile Willow's curled up figure on her couch. She frowned lightly, hearing knocks on her door. She walked to it, and opened it, slightly surprised to see Daemon. She gave him a friendly smile and opened the door wider, indicating him to come in.
"What's up?" she asked him, smiling.

Eleanor let out a bright, truthful smile of happiness as the young student handed her a rose. It was very sweet of him, and yet a sign of gallantry, which now seemed to be disappearing from the world.
"Merry Christmas to you too, Daemon.", Eleanor beamed kindly at the first year Slytherin, "I wasn't here on Christmas, unfortunately." she gave him an apologetic smile.
