Someone at Hogwarts has taken the “12 Days of Christmas” a little too literally. Festive chaos spreads through the castle as pranks featuring partridges, pipers, and more birds than anyone could possibly want turn every hallway into a holiday spectacle.

Professor Hermione Granger is determined to restore order before the school descends into complete yuletide madness. Unfortunately, that means teaming up with the infuriatingly smug — and undeniably charming — new Potions Master, Draco Malfoy. As the two professors hunt for the mysterious prankster behind the magical mayhem, they might just discover that the true magic of Christmas isn’t in the spells… but in each other.
