The massive Yule Log, which had to be collected from trees on a property woven with the magic of the family celebrating, was harvested by Harry and Hermione right as the clock struck twelve rolling into the morning of the first day of Yule. It was now resting in the middle of the large celebration gazebo in the backyard, the ground around it beautiful stone tiles, and stone bricks building the base of the gazebo. The actual rounded structure was made of white wood reaching up high and was large enough to hold close to eighty people sitting down around the rim. The Yule Log sat on dried Borage flowers gathered by the members of the Riddle family, to bring peace to the home, tranquillity in the family, and calmness in their relationships with each other. The first night of Yule as the sun went down the Riddle family stood around the Log, allowing Magic to flow in and around them, it was time for the ritual to begin.
