Harry stared at the small calendar on the wall, when there is a touch on his arm. He looked up at the brunette smiling at him.

"Here is your hot chocolate," Andromeda said, holding the warm cup out to the nineteen year old. Harry took it eagerly.

"Thank you, Andromeda. What is this?" Harry asked, his eyes turning back to the calendar. It took Andromeda a moment to remember Harry was raised by muggles.

"It's a magical advent calendar for children. The pare- guardian puts small treats in before December starts and each of the little boxes open with sparkles when the kid touches it." Sadness filled her face as she stares at the calendar.

"This was Tonks' calendar, right?" Harry whispered, took the older woman's hand. She nodded her head.

"Yes. Dora love this old thing, and I thought that Teddy would like to use it." Her voice broke a little, as she talked about her daughter.

"He seemed to like it with all the pointing and chatting he was doing earlier." Andromeda laughed a bit, remembering her grandson's face. Harry yawned, having gotten up early that morning for work.

"You can spend the night again," said Andromeda, as she headed to the door.

"Thank you, Andromeda," said Harry, smiling at her back. Andromeda continued on leaving the room, not bothering to turn her head as she repeated the words she says every night he stays over.

"Just make sure you put your cup in the sink before coming on to bed."
