Winter has been the favorite season of Sirius since he was a little child.

"Winter has the thre most important things in the life" he reply when someone ask him about that.

And when he is asked about those thre important things his answer is always the same:

"Oh, it is obvious: the snow, the holidays and the presents."

Then, Sirius laugh and no body is able to know what his true thoughts are when Sirius thinks about winter, because he really loves the snow, the holidays and of course, the presents (could someone hate the presents?), but there is something more, something which makes him love that season over the others: a little moment that for other person can seem nothing, but for him is all:

Sirius was five years old and his brother Regulus was four. Mum has told the little children not to go out because outside was cold and they could get ill, but Sirius didn´t like being inside the home. He wanted to play in the garden because there was snow and he could do a big snowman and a war of snow with his brother.

Dad wasn´t at home, he was working as everyday. Mum was in the livingroom talking to aunt druella by the chimney about those boring things which old people talked about. Sirius knew that was his opportunity to go out without no one could discover him so he called regulus and, after convincing him to go, the two kids went out without her mother could notice they had leaving the home.

Being in the garden was as fantastic as Sirius thought. They did the biggest snowman that they could, Regulus insisted on call it Tim, although Sirius thought that Tim was not a name for a big snowman. However, when they finished the snowman they were too tired to begin a snow war, so they lied in the snow. It was cold, but it was funny too. Sirius began to move his arms and legs in order to create a snow angel and regulus followed him.

It is one of the happiest moments in Sirius´ life, that day with his brother when everything was simple. After that, his mother had found them and both had been punished, besides they caught a strong cold. However, Sirius was convinced them, and is convinced now, it was a good decision.

But he never tell that story when his friends ask him about winter. Remembering it hurts, but telling it hurs more. He doesn´t want to talk about his brother now, he isn´t able to do that because now he can´t think about Regulus without being invaded by sadness.

Sirius had always thought that his brother and him could some day forgive each other and be friends again. However, regulus is dead now, he die for the cause against Sirius is fighting. They won´t do snowmen or snow wars or snow angels anymore, but Sirius will always love winther, like he will always love his brother, and he always remember that little moment with childish joy.
