Filius and Hagrid had really outdone themselves this year. The trees were huge, and there were several Yule Logs - Dennis supposed they were Yule Logs - set up as benches around the cleared dance floor. There were tables with chairs, too, and ornate centerpieces with magical fountains made of ice and glittering snow. Someone (Dennis supposed it was Filius) had charmed the Enchanted Ceiling to glow with the haze of the aurora borealis. The colors would change and stretch, and Dennis imagined that it was the kind of thing that would be incredibly awing if you were on a lot of drugs.
Good god, he hoped he didn't have to watch out for that. Students who spent too much time looking at the ceiling. He'd just forget that he even thought it.
He tucked himself against the wall - his chosen spot of wall for the rest of the night. It was wall worth dueling Harry for, too, as there was a nice little recess; if you stood just so, you were fairly well-hidden behind a wall tapestry.
The band started to warm up just as the first few students filtered in, and Dennis sighed, taking them in, in all their dress robe glory. At least it wouldn't last all night, he told himself. And he wasn't on the clean up crew.
Now, he wondered if the band knew the Hinkypunk.
