A/N So I thought I'd have a go at writing a bunch of Christmassy Oneshots/Drabbles because I'm in that kind of mood. Not all of them will be couples but some will be and this was is, kind of.
The air smelt like heaven.
It was wafting from the oven and permeating the house with the scents of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.
Every person in the house was sat lounging on the couches, breathing deepily in and out and looking like they were ready to fall asleep.
All but one who was mixing furiously with a spoon that was too big for her tiny hand to hold properly. The mix was flying everywhere as she wrestled with mixture, dough was hitting the walls and floors with some of it even landing in her hair. And flour covered her clothes so that she almost looked like a ghost. Almost. Meet Lily Luna Potter. The world's most determined 5 year old. When her mother had announced she was making gingerbread men, Lily had insisted on helping.
Then Ginny had in turn insisted that Lily only help with the mixing. And when the first batch was in the oven she had left for a short nap. Not knowing Lily would defy her instructions to Not. Touch. Anything. But this was one mischievous girl who proceeded to attempt to make another batch by copying what her mummy had done. And it wasn't going particularly to plan.
She had added more sugar then Ginny had; putting a whole bag in. Her reasoning behind this was that sugar was delicious so why not? This had turned the whole thing lumpy and unappetizing so she was desperately trying to make it work out somehow. But she wasn't having much luck, as she let out a sigh of frustration.
The only other person not almost asleep in the peaceful house was the cute, six year old blonde boy peeping his head round the corner; her best friend.
"Lily." He lisped quietly, she had a little bit of a temper and she didn't look particularly pleased as of know.
She whipped her red hair, that was already waist length, around and glared at him with her emerald eyes. "Oh." She said rather bluntly, but her smile warmed up more than it would have done if it was anyone else. "Ly'"
"Come here a sec." She commanded, a frown on her normally cheerful face. "Taste." She directed.
And he lick a bit from the spoon in her hand and very nearly gagged, it wasn't the best...
"Great Lils" He grimaced, "Honestly."
And the furrow between her eyebrows decreased slightly and she smiled.
Merlin, even at age 6 he would do anything to see her smile.
