pointing out the canon evidence of both students and a member of 
staff being in Hogwarts during the holidays as a reply to their 
original query.  It still leaves me with the question of just what

Luna was packing to go home.  Remember she ran into Harry in the 
hall.  SHe was posting a sign asking people to return her things.  As 
far as Ernie Macmillian is concerned; he is one of the DA members 
that jinxed Crabbe, Malfoy, and Goyle on the train ride home.  Maybe 
the August date were an oversight?
