Hello fellow humans, or at least I think you're humans. Haha. So here is the next chapter of our holiday fanfiction. It is family fun today. And for all those who are out of school for holiday break, what are you going to do? I'm still in school though so for now my fun is this! Thanks to all who reviewed, story alerted and made this a favorite. The song is Deck the halls, so you need an upbeat version of it. Enjoy!

Chp 7: Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

'Tis the season to be jolly

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Don we now our gay apparel.

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

See the blazing Yule before us.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Strike the harp and join the chorus.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Follow me in merry measure.

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

While I tell of Yuletide treasure.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

"Fred! Where are you?" A voice yelled up to him from downstairs.

"Coming Mione!" He called back. Running down stairs, the smell of gingerbread, hot chocolate, and coffee mixed with pine filled his nose. As he stopped in the living room the sight that awaited him was not what he was expecting.

"Oh good, there you are. Now we can get started." Hermione said as she walked into the living room, followed by two little kids, one boy and one girl, who were twins.

"What is all this stuff?" Fred was still confused

"It's Christmas decorations Fred. We need to decorate the house before everyone comes over on Christmas Eve. This is everything for the inside of the house. I think I might just pay someone to put up our lights for us." And then talking more to herself, Hermione added, "Or maybe I can get Harry or George to help you. Wait, nevermind, I will just pay someone."

"Mommy, can we start decorating now?" Chloe, the little girl, asked.

"Of course sweetie, where do you and your brother want to start?" Hermione bent down so she was eye to eye with the seven year old.

"Damian and I want to start in here," The little ginger hair kid said, meaning the living room. "We want to make the Christmas tree light up and hang the stocking on the fireplace, and make the room pretty for Santa."

"Ok then, lets start decorating. We wouldn't want Santa to come to an ugly house would we?" Laughing as Chloe ran away, Hermione started opening boxes and emptying the items out of them one at a time.

"Come on Daddy, come help us decorate the tree." Damian dragged Fred to the ornament box, putting two in his hands, and then dragged him to the tree. Fred laughed and got into the Christmas spirit.

"Mione, do you remember that muggle song you taught me a few years ago." Fred asked.

"Which one? I believe I have taught you a lot of muggle songs."

"The one that starts like this: Deck the halls with bough of holly.." Fred started singing

"Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la," Hermione joined him.

"Tis the season to be jolly,"

"Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la."

"Don we now our gay apparel,"

"FA-LA-LA-LA-LA LA-LA-LA" The two children joined in. By now their tree was half decorated with the white lights shining and making the glittery ornaments glow.

"Troll the ancient Yule tide Carol," Fred had taken to singing the actual words, while every else sang the chorus,

"Fa-la-la-la la-la-la la-la-la," Hermione was giggling now,

"See the blazing Yule before us"

"Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la"

"Strike the harp and join the chorus," Damian and Chloe were now bouncing every step the took loving the upbeat tune of the song. They had heard their dad sing before but not so carefree and off-tune.

"Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la," Hermione grabbed her camera and took a picture of Fred lifting Damian to put the ornament he had up high while singing and laughing.

"Follow me in Merry Measure,"

"Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la"

"While we tell of Yule tide treasure," Fred now lifted Chloe to put the star on top of the tree.

"Fa la-la-la-la la-la la, la, Fa la-la-la-la la la la la." And with the final la every collapsed on the couch laughing and giggling like they were crazy.

"Best tree decorating ever!" Damain shouted. And no one objected the statement.

So another chapter finished. And less then a week till Christmas. Isn't that sad? Let me know what you think. And since we are getting closer to the end, if you want a song now would be the time to ask for it. REVIEW please

Having a Very Merry Christmas,
