"What's that, Mummy?" her four-year-old asked, her little head peaking over the kitchen counter.
Hermione smiled as she continued to put small treats into each of the little doors of the wooden house. "It's a secret for you and Hugo," she said, rifling through the bag on her left for another small candy cane.
Her daughter's eyes widened as she began to jump up and down. "A secret? I'm good at keeping secrets, Mummy!"
Hermione chuckled, "I know you are darling, but this is supposed to be a secret from you."
Rose frowned, her jumping stopped and Hermione looking into her sad little girl's face. Hermione put her and Hugo's wooden houses away and reached for the next empty one. "How about you help me with Daddy's secret then?" she asked to cheer the little girl up.
Rose looked back up at her. "Really?"
Hermione nodded and picked her daughter up and placed her on a stool so she could see over the kitchen counter. She placed Ron's advent calendar in front of the small girl. "I'll hand you Daddy's favourite candies and you can put them in the little doors."
Rose nodded energetically and said, "I can do that, Mummy."
