AN: A collection of Halloween drabbles for Clever Ink Slinger's Halloween Bootcamp
This Is Halloween:
Prompt: Trick-Or-Treat
"Trick-or-treat." The couple said together as the door opened. Lily held her son tight in her arms as the elderly woman opened the door. The lady looked sweetly between them and cooed at the infant dressed up as a pumpkin.
"Well, isn't he adorable."
Harry just gurgled in response and the woman just chuckled. She reached into her bowl, placing a bit of candy into the plastic pumpkin James was carrying, a few pieces of candy already in it from some of the other houses already on the block. The couple thanked the lady and walked down the steps down to the side walk.
"You know," James said after a moment, peering into the plastic pumpkin that they had been using to gather Harry's candy in. "You know, for a muggle tradition, this isn't half bad."
Lily simply rolled her eyes at his comment. "Oh please, you're only enjoying it because you'll be the one eating Harry's candy since he's too young."
James only grinned as they continued to walk down the street. "Well, if I don't Sirius will."
Before Lily replied, Harry yawned, rubbing his eyes. "Are you getting tired, my little pumpkin?" The redhead asked, chuckling and placing a kiss on his forehead. "How about we go to a few more houses before going home and putting you to bed."
James nodded up to a few more houses. "What about those next?"
Lily looked up and nodded. "They look good for the last few." she answered as she began walking up to the door to say the magic words, granting their little pumpkin a few more pieces of candy before returning home. The evening of Harry's first Halloween, finally winding down.
