He had, even as a young boy, always thought of St. Nick as the greatest breaking and entering artist in the world. After all, he got into every house, every Christmas, and everyone knew about it.
And he never got in trouble once.
One would think at least one person would call alarm at that; even it the man claimed to be leaving stuff instead of taking it.
That was Kris Kringle's only flaw in Roul's opinion - his only draw back to being his own hero (Besides the fact than he was faker than Blanche's tan in fourth year) was that he was entirely too selfless. Thinking about himself even once wouldn't have hurt him any.
That was the way Roul saw it anyway.
Pocketing a necklace someone had carelessly left sitting around on a table. The misses of the house must have been a little absent-minded that evening, Roul made his way towards the safe. This was a lazy job. He hardly even cared about what he was getting. It was just something to do, keep his mind active instead of trailing down avenues he preferred not to explore.
That was how you won after all. Focus on winning and nothing else.
Pulling out his wand he opened the safe no problem. Muggles were always so much easier to deal with, which was why he had chosen them tonight, when his heart wasn't even really in it.
Pulling the door open, he stared at the contents of the safe - some jewels, probably a handful of family heirlooms - and was surprised to find no desire to take any of them. A frown crossed his face as he tried to process this. Never in his life had he not wanted to take something. Even when he hadn't planned on doing so his fingers had done so on their own, but now...
He pulled the necklaces out of his pocket, and frowned at it. Before he had thought about it, the necklace had found its way back amongst its other valuable friends, and a tiny scrap of paper with the confusing words "Merry Christmas" written upon it in his flowing script was placed on top of it.
He had closed the safe door before he realized there was someone else in the room. He didn't even try to leave.
"Santa Clause, why, why are you taking our Christmas tree, Why?"
