Vaan had climbed down the stairs from the dorm's quite rapidly. He knew that his parents would have gotten him a gift. He thought about what it could be. He saw the Christmas tree with gift's all around it. He smiled at the sight of it. He let the younger student's get there gift's first. Once they were done the remaining presents were quite few. He moved along the ground reading the names of the gift's to find that none of them were for him.
He sighed as he realized that maybe his parent's had not got him anything. It happened on quite a few occasions they would forget to get him one. He then heard a hoot. Moving to the back of the tree he found a owl cage. With a large white owl sitting in the middle of it. He read the name on the tag. It was for him from his parents. He quickly picked up the cage and moved it out into a more open part of the common room. He sat there for a moment before deciding to read the letter on the owl's leg. Opening the cage door he grabbed the letter and gently untied it. He quickly scanned through the letter. It was the usual parent sa how much they loved him and missed him.
He made it to the end of the letter to find a owl treat in the bottom of the envelop. He smiled at the white bird before passing the treat to the bird. "There you better enjoy that. Now I need to think of a name for you. To bad you can't tell me what you want to be called." He chuckled lightly to the bird.

Stephen walked down into the common room , only to stand at the back of the room lent against the wall , he knew nothing would be under there for him and he just watched as all the others unwraped there presants. He sighed deeply as he turned to look out the window at the snow covered ground. His thought turned to ones of why could he not go home but he knew the awnser he was too old and they thought it was time he was standing on his own two feet. But this still didn't help with the pangs of home sickness he felt right that moment.
Turning back he could not hold back a small smile as he watch Vaan open his , it was a snowy white owl. Beautiful to look at on its own. He watched as he took a letter that had been carefully attached to its leg from it then hand it a small owl treat "good news I hope" he said softly to him.

Vaan grinned at Stephen. "Not really my parent's still treating me like a young child. Though I do love gifts. So what have you been up to over the break? I didn't get a chance to head home so I've been here all month. I hate full moons in the winter." He gives a small wink at Stephen. "If you catch my drift." He moves to stand near Stephen. "So what should I name her? I'm horrible with naming things." He chuckled then sighed.
"I can't wait for Quidditch try-outs. Hopefully I make the team this year. I practiced most of the summer. Except for when my parent's told me that we are going to start looking for place for me to live when I graduate. You find a place yet? I mean thing's would be smoother if I had a room mate or a least a neighbor I know."

Stephen looked down at his folded arms and smiled "Nope not found any where yet" he said "and you should do well in the try outs, i've been watching you." he said looking up at him as the mucles flexed in his arms "you might even give me a run for my money" he finaly relaxed and grinned "Not" his eyes sparkled as he looked at him then to the owl. "what about ,moon or silver ", then with a scratch of his chin he said " what about Ther , it means sky" He said turning back to look at Vaan. He hoped he had helped him in some way but wiched some one would help him. He felt alone, he could go out drinking but why, all it did was make him ill the next day.

Nods his head. "Hmm Well maybe we can get something after the years done together." He takes a moment to listen to Stephen. "Yeah I'm pretty sure I'll give you a run for your money." He tilts his head as he listens to to Stephen list some names. "Hmm those sound pretty good. I'll have to think about them." He pauses for a moment as the owl hooted. "Hmm So what do you got planned for the rest of the day? We could play chest or go practiced some flying. I'm pretty sure there's no one using the pitch at the moment." He grinned at the other hufflepuff. "Or you know we could do something you want to do. I've got no plans."

Stephen smiled "Chess sounds good " he said looking at he owl as it hooted "you know that would annoy me, a lot" he said with a snigger but then turned back to the window "looks like it will snow again" he said watching the first snow flake gently drift down to rest on the ledge outside the window "I was gonna go into hogsmead , wanna come?" he said looing at Vaan "just to look around , no point in byeing anything , nobody to bye for" he spoke with a sigh "you got any sisters you can hook me up with" he asked a slight grin on his face as he spoke.
