12 Days of Christmas at Hogwarts
Author’s Note: The inspiration for this version of “12 Days” is one of my favorite Christmas tunes “The 12 Pains of Christmas”. At the end of each stanza, the lines in italics are Harry’s musings on the “gifts” of that day. I hope you enjoy it!
The First day of Christmas, Hogwarts gave to me, a Christmas tree lit with fairies.
The Second day of Christmas, Hogwarts gave to me, 2 Potions essays and a Christmas tree lit with fairies.

The Fourth day of Christmas, Hogwarts gave to me, 4 presents from Hagrid,
3 detentions from McGonagall (How can you get detention on holiday?)
