A/N: I really couldn’t get anything rolling until the kids got involved. Lily demanded Harry’s costume. Hope you like it! :)
“Trick or Treat!”
The old lady looked fondly at the black haired boy on her stoop. “Oh my! Harry Potter. Your eyes are wonderful, and that scar is perfect. Your costume is superb.”
Dumping a handful of Chocolate Frogs into the boy’s bag, she smiled to herself as he skipped off, laughing.
“I don’t get it, Mum, why does Dad love doing this so much?”
Ginny looked down at her oldest. “We’ve talked about your father’s childhood.”
“Yeah, not much fun,” answered her second son.
“Well, he never really understood why Halloween was supposed to be fun. Then in Hogwarts, invariably something bad would happen on Halloween. It wasn’t until after we started living together that he found out what the fun of the holiday was.”
“But why a De-aging Potion instead of a costume?”
“It’s the one time of the year he’s not ‘father’ or ‘husband’ or ‘friend.’ He can be the boy hero he never was.”
Lily laughed as the boy-father came running by, upending a full pail of candy on his way.
“I like him being Harry Potter!” she yelled, stuffing the candy into her own bag and then squealing as she raced off after him.
