Little Pumpkins' First Halloween

"It's going to be your very first Halloween tomorrow isn't it," Harry said as he leant forward into the baby pram, "Is Teddy excited?"

The baby dressed as an extremely adorable pumpkin gurgled and kicked happily in response while enjoying the bright orange colour of his costume.

"When we get to nursery you're going to have so much for," Harry rambled as he pushed the pram along the road, "It was a wonderful idea of the nursery to get you all dressed up and have a little party for Halloween."

Teddy looked up at his Godfather with wide innocent eyes while sucking on his fist, he had no idea what this 'Halloween' thing was and the only good thing about what he was wearing was the warmth and the pretty colour through he would do anything to see his Uncle Harry give one of those rare smiles.

Humming to Teddy Harry walked along the road enjoying the crisp crunching sound that the autumn leaves made under his feet at he walked on them, he lazily wondered if he could transfigure or find a Halloween toy to give to Teddy for his first Halloween.

"Look Teddy," Harry cried out excitedly as he pointed to the small Victorian style building which was the nursery, "It looks like they've really gone to town, they've got pumpkins and hanging decorations and all sorts outside, I can't wait to see what it looks like inside!"

Teddy merely blinked and gave Harry a large one tooth smile; he did not understand what his uncle Harry was going on about at all.

Speeding up his pace Harry quickly got to the front door of the nursery. Giving Teddy a quick smile he leant over and pressed the buzzer on the door to let the nursery workers know he was here.

"I'm so glad I took a photo of you my little pumpkin," Harry cooed as he tickled Teddy's tummy causing the child to break out into laughter, "I bet your going to be the cutest of them all."

"And the quietest."

Blinking in surprise Harry turned to the nursery door to find a woman of her late twenties with long brown hair and soft brown eyes dressed up as a black cat.

"Mrs. Appleberry!" Harry cried out happily, "I didn't see or hear you answer the door."

"I was close by," Mrs. Appleberry answered with a soft smile on her face, "If I was you I'd get ready for a lot of crying when you come in here."

"Oh?" Harry asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"

"Oh no, nothing is wrong, it's really very cute if you forget about their crying and screaming," Mrs. Appleberry replied standing aside to allow Harry and Teddy to enter, "But...well it seems they..."

Understanding suddenly wash over Harry as he carefully brought the pram and Teddy into the nursery, a small pitying yet amused smile appeared on his face.

"They saw each other in their costumes and got scared didn't they?" Harry asked with a grin as he parked Teddy's pram, "My friend's, Hermione and Ron, children did the very same thing when they went to school for their Halloween party yesterday."

"Got it in one," Mrs. Appleberry said dryly as she closed the door only to shiver as the cold wind came past them, "It's very cold out there, I think we should be getting a bit of frost tonight."

"Well then I'll be ready with the camera," Harry said with a large grin on his face as he scooped Teddy up out of the pram, "It'll be Teddy's first time seeing frost."

Mrs. Appleberry gave a very unlady like snort, "Ah yes, you and your camera, you're always taking photos of Teddy."

"Yes well he is doing a lot of firsts," Harry replied defensively as he held Teddy protectively, "So what have you got planned for today? Need an extra hand in the kitchen washing up or something?"

"That would be lovely Harry, I'm so glad that you took all of those courses on child care when Teddy came into your care, you're a big help to the nursery," Mrs. Appleberry said with a happy smile on her face, "Today we are going to sing a few Halloween songs, eat a few sweets and do one or two other Halloween activities."

Nodding his head Harry followed Mrs. Appleberry down the hallway towards Teddy's classroom, as they got closer the crying got louder. It was all Harry could do to hope that Teddy wouldn't suddenly start crying too.

"Right, are you ready for your first Halloween party my little pumpkin?" Harry asked as he placed a loving kiss on Teddy's nose.

Teddy's response was a happy smile and to grip Harry's nose in a painfully tight hold.
