No, it was a simple two letter word, one that many children learned before they could form an actual sentence. A word that Lydia clearly didn't know because here she was, standing in the great hall helping Ben decorate all 12 of the Christmas trees. Lydia didn't even like Christmas, well that was a lie, she loved Christmas, she just hated that every year she was left behind while all the other kids got to go home to their families. That every year she didn't get to hear her mother tell His story, that she didn't get to bake a cake with her mother in Celebration of His birthday, or that she didn't get to wake up in the morning to see all of the presents under the tree. She missed her family so much, she missed those times when her brothers would protect her against the monsters under the bed, back when she wasn't the monster. She just wished she was a Muggle. Of course she would never admit that out loud, for the people here would surely do something horrible if she uttered such a thing.
Lydia frowned as she grabbed one of the golden ornaments out of the brown box and climbed the small stepping ladder to reach a certain part of the tree that had yet to be decorated. She hummed along to the Christmas music that was playing in the background and when she went to step down to grab another ornament she saw Lucas Tempest, a boy who was in her year and probably the only person in the world who could actually get her to question her beliefs. Here was a boy who was every bit as magical as she was, who her parents would title a devil worshiper, and yet he was the sweetest guy she knew. How could he be evil?
'Hey Luke,' Lydia said with a smile as she bent down to grab another Ornament. 'Here to help us decorate the trees or are you just going to watch me suffer?' Lydia said with a smile.
