The Potters stood around the Christmas tree. Ginny was leaning into Harry's side, and his hand was resting on her pregnant belly. They both watched as James and Albus scoured the tree the December First decoration. The tree was covered with decorations of all sorts, but scattered around the tree was an advent calendar. An ornament for each day designed to look like present with a number on its sides. Last year the two boys had loved it so much, that Harry couldn't resist buying a new set for this year.

Albus gave a shout and both boys came to their parents, though their eyes were on the the present ornament that was resting in Albus' hand. "Go ahead." Harry urged. Albus pulled the top off, reached his hand inside and pulled out a handful of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans. Both boys cried out happily. They quickly sat on the floor and poured the beans out. They split the pile in half, as Harry directed, but soon were trading and exchanging beans until they had a pile both were content with. Harry laughed when James put a bean into his mouth but quickly spit it back out. "Ewww! Bussel Sprouts." Ginny was soon laughing with him, and Albus began to laugh as well.
