"Do you remember?" whispered Lucius as we trudged on through the snow. I looked up at him, and his silvery hair and gorgeous eyes, just a shade darker.

"What?" I whispered back, quietly. Lucius chuckled into his coat, and slowly peered back at me.

"Us. Our beginning."

It was my turn to laugh now. Of course I remembered. This was the love of my life. Lucius stoked the hair which my hat didn't cover, and leant in to kiss my cold rosy cheek. The warmth of his breath startled me as his kiss moved to my lips. I considered everything about that moment. The fact that everything with Lucius was beautiful now, and then I remembered our losses, and the consequences of our love. I pushed these memories away as I felt new snow land on my skin and melt, and Lucius' tongue caressing my mouth. I gasped and pulled away.

"Sienna?" Lucius asked, holding my cheeks with his strong hands. "What's wrong?"

"My father," I whispered. "I just saw..."

Lucius' face lost all colour and drooped. Something wasn't right.

"What happened?" I wept, realising now that I was crying. Lucius sighed and pulled me into his chest, but I struggled. "NO! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!"

Lucius looked shocked, even slightly angry, but eventually he nodded consensually, took my hand, and we Apparated home.
