Nymphadora Tonks sat on the couch of her living room on Christmas Eve, wrapping her husband's presents before he returned home from the Burrow. He had gone to drop of the gifts they had found for the Weasley family. Since they could not safely leave the house due to death threats from her psychotic aunt Bellatrix she, her mother and Remus had gone through her parent's attic and found gifts. For Arthur they had found her father's old record player. They had found a stack of cook books Tonks' muggle grandparents had brought back from a visit to the US for Molly. Tonks had given Ginny a set of muggle novels she had been sent as a teenager. Remus and Tonks had also found gifts for Fred, George, Bill, Fleur and Kingsley.

Tonks had just finished wrapping the last present when there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Tonks asked though she was certain of who it was.

"It is I, Remus Lupin." Came the answer.

"What's your favorite food?" They had decided to take a page out of Dumbledore's book this holiday season.

"Chocolate, and yours?" Remus replied.

" Pretzels." Tonks said before opening the door to let her husband in from the December cold. "No trouble, I hope."

"None seems the Death Eaters are taking Christmas off, there are a lot fewer attacks than usual." Remus replied setting down the packages Tonks assumed Molly had sent him home with.

"That's good isn't it." Tonks sighed and sat back down on the couch propping up her sore feet on the coffee table. "I wish we had a tree, it would seem more like Christmas if we had a tree."

Across the room, Remus gave a mischievous smile. "What?" demanded his wife.

Remus reached into his pocket and pulled out a small evergreen tree that would have been the right size for a child's doll house. He set it in the corner of the room, waved his wand and the tree grew until it was the perfect size. He waved his wand again and the tree was covered in bright twinkling lights.

Tonks gasped and seemed at a loss for words but Remus smiled "Merry Christmas Dora."
