Severus had also bought some oranges, not for presents, but for decorations. He was planning to stud some of them with cloves, others he would slice and sprinkle with cinnamon before drying them out in the oven, something he had learned from Narcissa later in his life. He would bundle some of the dried orange slices with cinnamon sticks and holly to make a table decoration, the others he would pair with a sprig of holly and hang them on the tree with his collection of wooden decorations. He still had the last ones he had made with his mother the year before she died as well as a few he had made over the past five years when he had decorated a tree with Harry. It took the better part of a whole day and almost all of his energy but finally, he sat back pleased with the results of his efforts. There were just the white candles for the table and the mantle and a mistletoe and sage ball for the doorway left to hang and of course the tree. Severus had ordered one and he and Harry would collect it together the day he arrived home for Christmas break and spend the following day decorating it.
