This is just basically some random HDM oneshots, please R&R, the next one will be about Marisa and Asriel.

This one is about Grumman/John Parry and Will, it gets better as it goes on so don't be put off by the first few lines!! I thought about this idea when it was snowing one day, I wanted to write something about the snow and then I imagined John Parry watching the snow.... so here goes, please review!!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of Philip Pullman's characters!

Grumman always watched the snow fall; even though there was an abundance of snow in the north he always thought there was something magical about the snow. Each individual flake had a different path that was determined by the wind but eventually they would all settle together. The snow seemed to dance in a sort of code, like Morse code, telling Grumman that although it seemed like he was worlds apart from his family, he was not alone, all snowflakes have to dance on their own sometimes but eventually they find their way to their own kind.

Grumman smiled to himself, he had only been away from his family for a few weeks but already he was missing them. Little Will and his lovely wife. But he couldn't shake off the nagging doubt that something would go wrong. He forced himself not to think like that and focus on the snow; he would dance to fate's tune for the time being and eventually he would be reunited with his family and he could be John Parry again.

At the same time Will was gazing out of his window, watching the stars in the sky. He wondered if his father was looking at the same stars, thinking about him or whether he was too preoccupied with more important things. He tried not to think of the other notion that his father was dead. But if he wasn't dead why hadn't he returned to Will and his mother?

Will searched for the brightest star in the sky and wished with all his heart that he would see his father again. He wished that his father would scoop his mother up in a huge hug and tell her everything would be fine and reassure her of his affections. And then he and Will would spend so much time together....

Will wished....

And John Parry wished...

To see each other again.
