"Sleigh bells ring, my rosy red-"
"Rosy red what, Mum?"
"Cheeks." Eileen replied. "Never mind the shop windows, we've business to attend to, Severus."
"Yes, Mum." The small boy rushed forward and slowed down once he was walking next to his mother.
"Mum, why don't we celebrate Christmas?"
"Because it's…well, because your Da doesn't like magic." Eileen glanced down at her boy. There was no need to tell him how his father gambled away every pay check or how the holiday was meaningless to her after she'd requested a miracle and it never happened.
"Mum?"
"What, Severus?"
"What exactly are sleigh bells?" The bewildered child eyed the motorized traffic as if searching for a vehicle adorned with bells.
"Forget about that foolishness and mind your step." Eileen tugged her son along and wished yet again to be free from her wretched mistakes. If not for her sake, then for the small boy beside her.
