By now, Preston had already become fully aware of how much fun HNZ parties were. As he ascended the steps towards the Great Hall, Preston could already here the noise and feel the slight vibrations from the bass in the music. His vest hung up, showing the clean white shirt he had on under. There were certainly other students who were much more dressed up than he was, but he thought he had done a good job of making himself look presentable. Brushing a hand through his spiked up hair, the Slytherin stepped into the Hall, the smile growing as he glanced at the displays. Ice sculptures and Christmas trees were up around the room, making the room look quite festive. Picking up a piece of chocolate as it floated by on a tray, Preston popped it into his mouth before continuing on. The boy nodded his head and waved to many of his classmates and even several of the older students he had befriended. Anyone who looked at the boy would think he had been here for more than just a couple of months. Already, the place felt as much like home as his old school had felt and Preston was sad that he was going to have to leave for a couple of weeks to spend the holidays with his parents. They never really did anything and he would probably spend the time shuffling alongside them as they went to one holiday dinner after another. Still, he hadnt seen them in ages and he missed them both.
As the music continued to play, Preston nodded his head to the beat. He didnt dance much but this he could do easily enough. After a moment, when the music changed to something a bit slower, Preston headed to the tables where different drinks and snacks were lined up. Preston joined a line, not quite sure what was at the end of it, but if there were enough people waiting, it had to be good. Finally, his curiosity got the better of him and he tapped the shoulder of the person in front of him, a fellow Slytherin though she was a few years older. As she told him that there were fresh gingerbread cookies, Preston smiled and thanked her. He continued to wait, watching as a bunch of mistletoe slowly bobbed on top of a couple who giggled and then gave each a quick kiss.
