Hot Art:
• Great Balls of Snow by sigune @ hoggywartyxmas (in order of appearance: Filius Flitwick, Rolanda Hooch, Pomona Sprout, Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank, Poppy Pomfrey, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, G)
Summary: Hogwarts is decked in snow. Why does nobody want to play?

• An Excellent Choice! by shadowycat @ hoggywartyxmas (Minerva McGonagall/Severus Snape, PG-13)
Summary: Minerva gives Severus a Christmas gift sure to keep them both warm throughout the holidays... "Which position would you like to try first?" "Oh, yes, an excellent choice!"

Hot Rec:
• On Open Wings by dicta_contrion @ hd_erised (Harry/Draco, PG-13, 14,5K)
Summary: Answers don't just fall from the sky, but sometimes birds do. When one almost knocks Harry off his feet, he’s got to save it. If Draco is the only one who can help, well. That’s really entirely irrelevant.

• Love Hides in Familiar Faces by delphipsmith @ hoggywartyxmas (Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Horace Slughorn, Filius Flitwick; G, 4,5K)
Summary: none given

• Butterscotch Mountain by lash_larue @ hoggywartyxmas (Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank, Rolanda Hooch; PG-13, 2,2K)
Summary: Wilhelmina needs help, and Rolanda proves to be a good and durable friend.

• Through the Spiral of the Years by mmadfan @ hoggywartyxmas (Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape; PG; 5K)
Summary: Minerva remembers Christmases past, joys and sorrows, love and loss. Memories lead to memories of memories and then back to the present.

• Brotherly xxx by jean_doe_27 @ hoggywartyxmas (Albus Dumbledore, Aberforth Dumbledore; G; 2,8K)
Summary: Blood is thicker than water, and those two, however far apart in character, are still a family.
