Padma laughed. "My holiday was as far from quiet as you can get. Parvati wanted it at her house, since this is her first Christmas with Naresh, and in the end it was our mum and dad, my aunt and uncle, their kids... and their kids, plus our grandmothers, and then Naresh's parents and brothers and sisters, and... well, let's just say my flat seemed very quiet and peaceful when I finally came home."
Just thinking about it made her almost dread the day Parvati had her baby; poor St Mungos was going to be overrun.
"It was good, though," she admitted. "Despite the chaos."
