A/N: The Potters and Granger-Weasleys attend the carol service of their children's Muggle preparatory school. I imagine until Hogwarts, they are all enrolled in Muggle schools. James is 10 and in Grade Five, Albus and Rose are 9 and in Grade Four and Hugo and Lily are 7 and in Grade Two. I do not own Harry Potter.

Harry and Ginny sat next to Ron and Hermione as they watched and listened to their children's school's carol service. Every year, the Muggle preparatory school would hold a carol service for the Christmas season in which every grade sang a carol. James' grade sang "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer", Albus and Rose's sang "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" and Hugo and Lily's would soon sing, "Silent Night".

"I never get tired of these Muggle carols," Ginny said as she leant against her husband and listened to the Grade Six's sing, "Little Drummer Boy" as the boys beat their drums in time with the song.

The Grade Six's carol ended and then the principal, Miss Johnson came onto the stage. "Thank you, Mrs Thomas and your Grade Six class. Now let us welcome our final class onto the stage, Mr Forrest and his Grade Two class to sing "Silent Night""

The audience clapped as the boys and girls filed out in two lines onto the small set of steps on the stage. Hermione used her camera to snap a few pictures of Hugo and Lily, who waved at their parents' bright faces.

Mr Forrest stood to the side and pressed a button on his music player. The music began and one girl in the front line began to sing.

"Silent Night, Holy Night, All is-"

Suddenly the music stopped and the lights went out in the auditorium, causing a commotion among the parents.

"The Eletrickity is gone," Ron commented while waving his hand in front of his face.

"Ow, Ron," Ginny cried, shoving her brother after he hit her in the face.

"What will they do now?" Harry asked Hermione, who just shrugged in response.

But Mr Forrest had a backup plan. He began to hand out candles to all the seven-year-olds, letting them carefully pass the flame across to their friends, before he jumped onto the old piano at the side of the stage.

He signalled to the girl to begin singing again.

"Silent Night, Holy Night, All is calm, all is bright-"

The rest of the class joined in and the effect of the candles and the coziness of the dark filled everyone with Christmas spirit.

"Sleep in heavenly peace," the class ended as one, to the applause of all the parents. It was defintely a lovely way to end the carol service.
