Susan let him in, smiling. She'd been quite content to spend Christmas day curled up with a book and a hot pot of tea; since her grandfather had popcorned, she had no family here anymore, but she didn't really mind. It gave her time to herself, and it was easy enough to get the house elves to bring her some tasty Christmas food.
"Hi," she said, shutting the door behind him. His own presents were ranged on her desk, also neatly wrapped, with a few of those clever stick-on bows on the top--every now and again Susan would find herself fascinated by the oddest things, and those little bows had been one of them. She'd had to resist the urge to cover the gifts in them. "It's good to see you survived the holidays." While she didn't actually know what he'd done on Christmas, it was safe to bet he'd had to spend it in the company of Henry Winter.
