A/N: For the Holiday Spirit Christmas Boot Camp. Prompt: December.
Harry and Ginny watched as the kids played in the snow, their laughter sounding rather loud outside than it normally did; but neither Harry nor Ginny minded.
It was Christmas Eve and the December cold was coming on strong; Ginny shivered slightly and wrapped her coat more tightly around her, Harry looked at her in concern on the bench outside on the patio; Harry moved Ginny closer to him and Ginny let out a smile as she placed her head on Harry's chest.
"I love you." Ginny said her eyes twinkling happier than they ever had before.
Harry looked down at her and smiled; "I love you too Ginny." He bent down and gave her a kiss on her head.
"James! You bloody prat I'll kill you!" Lily Luna Potter cried as James had thrown a snowball at her. Meanwhile Albus was bent over laughing to hard to do anything to help either one of his siblings out.
"You'll have to catch me first Lils!" James called out and made a mad dash to where Harry and Ginny were sitting laughing all the while.
"James come back and fight me! And don't call me Lils!" Lily cried she shook the snow off of her, bent down and made a snowball she then turned to her right and threw it right at Albus' head.
Albus stopped laughing shocked for a moment before turning his eyes to Lily. Lily grinned evilly at him a triumphant look on her face.
Meanwhile James had trudged up to his parents a pleased smile on his face.
"Hey dad; mum" James said with a wild grin.
Harry shook his head in amusement but didn't say anything, knowing his daughter like he did she would most likely get back at James for throwing a snowball at her.
"You know that Lily will find a way to get even with you right dear?" Ginny asked her son a smile tugging on her mouth.
James shrugged unconcernedly not seeming to care that his mum was right and that Lily would somehow get him back.
Ginny sighed softly and began to stand, she didn't really want to get up but she figured if she caused a distraction than everyone would be more calmer; though admittedly deep down she doubted it.
"Does anyone want Hot Chocolate? Ginny called out to Albus and Lily who were currently having a snowball fight of their own; Albus covered in snow while Lily on the other hand only had a little bit of snow on her.
Thankfully the two of them stopped throwing snowballs and started to walk...more like run closer to them.
"Yes Hot Chocolate!" James cried pumping a fist in the air.
"Alright you little demon boy, let's get some Hot Chocolate." Harry said grinning at his son.
"Race ya." James told his dad and before Harry could answer James was gone.
Harry grinned and shook his head.
"I'll go inside to make sure that James doesn't break anything...again." Ginny said
"Alright love." Harry said, he stood up from the bench and stretched once he was done he let out a sigh.
"Meet you inside then." Ginny said, she turned to Harry and kissed him.
Harry smiled as they pulled away but the smile was gone quickly as he heard a coughing noise from behind.
Harry and Ginny turned and saw Albus and Lily standing behind them. Lily had a smile on her face while Albus looked on with either amusement or disgust Harry didn't really know which.
"Come on, let's get some Hot Chocolate now." Ginny said.
"What's taking you guys so long!" James had come back and was hanging on the front door an impatient look on his face.
"We're coming James." Harry replied.
James looked doubtful but went back inside. Harry, Ginny, Albus and Lily walked into the house together; the younger two excited for what tomorrow would bring.
