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.

"Tis the season!" Rose sighed, "The season of greetings, and love, and presents, and family and cookies!" the eight year old grinned at her brother.

"What?" Hugo demanded, stomping his foot. She rolled her eyes.

"Don't be such a baby, ickle Hugo," Rose teased. Hugo glared at her.

"I'm not being a baby, Rosie!" Hugo poked his tongue out at her.

"Don't call me Rosie!" She yelled, "Only Daddy calls me that,"
"Rosie! Rosie! Rosie!" Hugo hooted with glee.

"Stop it!" Rose yelled, crying. Hugo laughed.
"I'm the big boy now," Hugo pouted. Rose glared at him and punched him in the face.
"Ha!" She giggled. Her brother held his nose.
"Mummy!" He wailed, tears falling down his cheeks.

"See! You were mean first and you made me do it!" Rose teased, "Now look what happened!"
"It's all your fault!" Hugo yelled, still crying.

"I hate you!" Rose spat.

"I hate you too!" Hugo yelled back.

Hermione and Ron watched them from inside.

"Is this normal?" Hermione asked Ron. He chuckled.

"Between siblings? Yeah. It's more than normal," Ron chuckled.

"Good," Hermione sighed. Ron leaned over and kissed her.

"Don't worry about it, they'll be fine," Ron chided.

"Alright then," Hermione smiled, watching her bundles of joy argue with each other.
