The holidays had been lovely, if a bit strange. How exactly did one celebrate in a place without all of their friends around, and with a son who was already fully grown? As it turned out, much the same as one did when still at home: with lots of food and exchanging presents. James had eaten enough chocolate to kill a very large dog, and Harry was starting to get more comfortable around both of his parents, and the castle's feast had been nearly as good as those served at Hogwarts. So Lily was counting this Christmas as a success all round.

However, the wheels of commerce did not pause long even for festivities, and Lily had gone back to work a few shifts at Vellum's Tomes after the celebrations had stopped. Boxing Day sales were apparently not as big a thing here, but they were still open. After her shift Saturday she'd gone poking about the rest of the neighborhood - it was hard not to compare it to Diagon Alley, which she still missed, but the shops were more than adequate for her purposes. Which currently included finding the ingredients for Pepper-Up Potion. The January chill always led to colds and sniffles and having a supply on hand would be extremely helpful. Especially since James tended to go tearing about without a hat, and she somehow doubted Harry took after his mother in these circumstances.
