Dolls


Lily Luna looked around the large toy shop with wonder in her four year old eyes. She had never seen so many toys under one roof, not even at her Nana Molly's. She felt her father place a hand on her shoulder and looked up at him.

"Don't run off in here please. We still have other places to visit," Harry said, smiling at her. Lily Luna nodded at him as she was released from his grip. "You can go look at the toys, however, remember that Father Christmas is on his way in just a couple of weeks."

Lily Luna bounced off, excitement running through her as she took in the sights of dolls in their prams, tea sets that were almost as big as she was, and soft toys that were bigger than she was. She tried to wrap her arms around the closest toy dog to drag over to her father, only to find it was too large for her to wrap her small arms around.

"DADDY!" yelled Lily Luna, crossing her arms and pouting just as Harry came round the corner, "want this one."

She pointed to the large dog and looked back at her father. Harry raised an eyebrow, his green eyes filled with mirth behind his glasses, "that dog is almost as big as you, Lily."

"Don't care. Want it," Lily said again, putting on her best puppy dog eyes look that Rosie had taught her, "pwease?"

Harry sighed and nodded, "okay, you can. However, you're not having it until Christmas day."

Lily Luna shrieked in excitement, causing Harry to wince and wonder just what he had let himself into, and what Ginny would think.
