"Daddy, can I be a muggle for Halloween this year?" Lily asked looking up from her dolls, she was six years old this year and it would be her first time trick or treating without any of her brothers there to go with her since Teddy and Papa were taking them on a haunted house tour with Uncle Ron and Rose. Instead she was going with Fred, Hugo, and the twins, Amelia and Melody.
"And why would you want to be a muggle? There are many different kinds of muggles that you could dress up as." Draco asked curiously. He was completely okay with the idea but it seemed sort of an odd request to him,
"I want to be a muggle dancer! One with the frilly skirts!" Lilly said jumping up with her hands above her head and twirling around in a circle, her laughter filling the room as she spun faster and faster. She stopped and felt herself start to wobble, to dizzy to stand.
Draco immediately put aside the edition of the quibbler he had been reading and hopped up to make sure she didn't fall down, or worse hit her head on something as she tipped over. "Whoa, you okay there Lils?" he asked laughing.
"Yup," Lily said grabbing onto the nearest table to steady herself, "That's just what the muggle dancers do. I saw them on Aunt Hermione's television the other night." She explained remembering how pretty they had looked leaping across the screen. "Can I please dress up like one of them for Halloween?" She asked apparently now fully recovered as she started jumping up and down clapping her hands.
"Hmm…" Draco thought about it for a moment. They had plenty of time right now to go out and get a costume before Harry and the boys got back so why not? "Pick up your dolls and I'll go get our coats, then we can go find you the prettiest costume we can find." Draco said standing up and heading for the hall closet.
"Yay! Thank you Daddy!" Lily said latching onto Draco's leg for a second before running off to pick up her toys.
Draco just shook his head and grabbed their coats out of the hall closet before calling for Kreachur, who had come to serve them after they had had the kids and left Grimmauld place. "Lily and I are going out, do you think you can have dinner ready by the time Harry and the boys get home? And please tell them where we have gone." Draco explained.
"As master Draco wishes," Kreachur said bowing and then, poof, he was gone.
"I'm already to go Daddy!" Lilly said running out of the sitting room and pulling on Draco's robes to get his attention, "Can we go now?" she asked excitedly "Please?"
"Of course, just get your coat on and we will be all ready to go." Draco smiled handing his little girl her coat.
"Well you two are home late…" Harry said looking up from the dining room table as Draco and Lily walked in, the boys had already left to go do their own things.
"Papa! Daddy got me a muggle dancer costume for trick or treating!" Lily said jumping up and down holding her costume bag in her hand, "It's called a bah-lerr-een-uh," She said taking her time with each syllable to make sure she said it correctly "Right Daddy?"
"Yes, that was perfect Lils." Draco said smiling and walked over to Harry's chair to give him a hug after not seeing him all day, "She has been practicing that all day so she could say it correctly for you." He whispered before letting go of Harry and going to sit down. "Lily, why don't you go put your costume in your room and then come join us for dinner?"
