She paused in her task to sweep a lock of hair from her face. After much battling with spellotape, she had finally wrapped the last present! Carefully, she cut a length of ribbon and lifted the gift, wrapping round the red twine, and tying it in a large bow on top.
Remus caught the ribbon reel from the floor and tugged the end, winding it jokingly around his wife's rounded stomach. The simple act was more than just fun, it was completely true. A family was the best Christmas present either of them could ask for.
As Victoire bent over to make the tea, Teddy noticed her hair. It was tied up quite prettily with a red bow, which brought out the strawberry-blonde shimmer of her tresses. He pulled at the end until the length came out in his hand. Although Teddy was delighted with the bright ribbon, the ends of Victoire's fringe smelt of tea for the rest of the day.
That was life.
