"Don't worry about it, it's not like you could wear a sparkly dress, could you?" Mandy said in response, then laughed at the thought of it. She grinned at him. "But you're more than welcome to trade with me, if it'll make you feel better!"
"I know, but late dinner's a tradition on New Years, isn't it?" Mandy asked the paused as she realised something. "Oh, you've eaten, haven't you. I'm sorry, I should have asked." Pouring out a couple of glasses of the mulled wine, the vodka could wait until later, she handed Kevin one glass before going back to the tree to get the presents. She'd purchased Kevin a new ink pot with his initials on it, a book on early wizarding history, as well as a book of 101 most useful household spells, which she'd only picked up after their recent discussion. "I hope you like yours too..." Mandy said as she handed over his gift, setting her glass on the coffee table so she could unwrap hers.
