"Remus!" came Dora's shout from upstairs.

Sighing, Remus placed his book on the small coffee table in front of him an headed upstairs.

Dora had practically dragged Teddy upstairs with her not twenty minutes ago and told him not to follow them yet. Apparently there's a surprise for him waiting.

It was afternoon on Christmas day and they were all together at home for the first time in years. They usually spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day at the Burrow with the Weasleys but Teddy's starting Hogwarts next year and Dora wants to spend as much as time with him as possible. She's also very jealous of her husband who's going to be able to see their son every day because of his position as the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor and Head of Gryffindor. Dora is hoping Teddy will be sorted into Hufflepuff, like his mother, while Remus obviously hopes he would be a Gryffindor, like his father.

As Remus was walking up the stairs, he could hear the quiet giggles coming from his son.

"Dora?" he called.

"In here, love!" came the response from their bedroom.

"So what's the surprise-" Remus stopped mid sentence as he took in the scene in the room.

Both Dora and Teddy were dressed in reindeer onesies and had morphed their noses bright red and round.

Remus stared at them for a few moments before he burst out laughing.

"Dad! It's not funny!" Teddy cried.

"Yes, why are you laughing, Remus?" His wife demanded, her hands on her hips.

After he finally calmed down from the laughing, Remus approached his son and wife. "I'm laughing because you two are absolutely adorable," he placed his arms around them and gave them both a kiss on the head, "I love you."

"We love you too," Dora replied as she placed a kiss on Remus' lips.

"Ewwww!" came Teddy's voice. He placed his hands over his eyes, not wanting to look at his parents kissing.

"You'll have a wife or husband in the future too, dear, and you'll kiss them just like I'm kissing your dad now, Ted."

"He's going to marry Victoire," said Remus and laughed as Teddy blushed so much his cheeks now looked as red as his nose.

"I'm not!" he protested.

Remus and Dora laughed.

He pulled his wife and son into a bone-crushing hug and smiled widely.

"My reindeer family…I love you so much," Remus said quietly but Teddy and Dora heard him and only hugged him tighter in response.


Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! And if you don't, have a lovely weekend! :)
