#5 gold

She normally didn't have much of a sweet tooth, but there was an exception. Albus knew of it. He had brought it to her on this very cold evening. She had been grading essays, wondering why she always asked for such ridiculous lengths, when he had knocked and entered, the bowl of steaming rice pudding in his hand, golden sirup cutting through the creaminess. Of course she thanked him with a shy kiss.

Years later, whenever it was cold, she thought back on how he had brought her rice pudding and that thought warmed her through and through.
