They had put the tree up the night before, decorating it with the wooden circles Severus had made with his mum and some he and Harry had made the year before. They had also hung the dried oranges decorated with cloves and orange slices with cinnamon alongside glass baubles and silver beads purchased together over the past few years. The wrapped presents had been placed underneath until the morning and they had drunk hot chocolate in front of the fire while the Yule log burned in the grate.
