Happy New Year, everyone. [Lily is smiling softly, her fingers wrapped around a steaming mug of hot chocolate.] I've decided on my resolutions for the year, but I've forgotten: is it better to say them out-loud or to keep them to yourself like birthday wishes?

I suppose it's a bit hard to get support if you keep them to yourself, though. [She

[ Harry starts off with a video. As apparent by his messier than normal hair he's just woken up. ]

Morning mum, Happy New Year.

[ He's probably already said it once before, but it bears saying again. ]

[Lily hides a smile. Someone inherited James's hair.]

Happy New Year, Harry. Did you sleep well?

[sonuvasnitch]

[ You couldn't tell from his normal state of being? Then again he at least manages to get it to behave when he's first headed out of the house. It's through the day it stops listening. ]

Yeah I did. You?

[ Luckily for Harry New Years eve had been amazing. ]

[OOC: I'm guessing despite what LJ tries to say about this post taking place on the 2nd it'd actually be the 1st |D ]

[gryffindoe]

[Of course! It's just STARING HER RIGHT IN THE FACE at the moment. Hello, messy hair. How are you today?]

I can't complain. [Oh do tell.] I was a bore, though. I went to bed early.

[OOC: Actually, it doesn't matter. Lily can totally be late. She's too cool to be pinned down by dates. Or something. >.>']

If you want someone else to keep you on the right track towards your goals through the year, I believe that sharing your decided on resolutions would be fine.

[gryffindoe]

I will listen to the wise words of Remus! [She stretches out her legs.] Do you have time to listen?

[wolfbaned]

Well, at least one of my friends has the intelligence to listen to my wisdom. [A tease at his stubborn friends.]

Of course, Lily. I'm all ears.

[gryffindoe]

I am a rarity. What would you do without me? [This game is fun.]

Well, for one, I want the house to feel more like a home. I also want to get to know everyone better. [Especially where Harry and his generation are concerned.] Furthermore, I don't see a reason to let our dueling skills go rusty. Who knows when we might need them? I know I teach at the school, so a lot of my time is already in use, but I don't see why we couldn't have a club of sorts for defensive magic.

Happy new year, Lily dear.

[gryffindoe]

Happy New Year, Headmistress!

[white_polaris]

Are you enjoying the winter break?

[gryffindoe]

Very much so. Somarium is beautiful.

What about you?

[nolessthanseven]

All depends on what it is, I guess. But happy new year anyway.

[gryffindoe]

It's nothing embarrassing. [She looks surprised that someone would think that about her.] My wishes are mostly down-to-earth, dreadfully boring and far too logical.

[nolessthanseven]

[hey, who knows. Maybe she's got some really far-out ideas there. Izzy doesn't judge.]

Pretty sure they're never boring if you're resolving to do them. Practical, sure; boring? Nah. Not if you're into that.

[gryffindoe]

[Lily would be cautious about sounding too loony. Blame Tuney for that.]

The small things matter to me. Like watching sunrises and sunsets; making new friends; repairing broken bridges (both literally and metaphorically) - you know, that sort of thing.

[dedikayted]

Happy New Year, Lily! And I don't think resolutions are the same as wishes...

[gryffindoe]

Happy New Year, Kay!

If that's the case, prepare to be bored.

[dedikayted]

Bored?

[gryffindoe]

My wishes are pretty simple.
