Day Two - December 2nd
main prompt: chimney smoke
pairing/character: RoxanneScorpius
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Roxanne's eyes were filled with awe and excitement as she looked out over the snow-filled countryside. It was midnight, and she was perched atop the icy roof of her house, clinging loosely to the brittle tiling.
"Yeah," Scorpius agreed – he was sat beside her, the image of cool, like he scaled her house every night, "It's amazing."
The stars shone brightly, casting a dim light over the pair as they watched the empty fields around them with a sort of silent contentment. The snow began to fall again, but softer and quieter than it had earlier that day. The snow didn't lay, and the wind didn't blow ferociously like it had been doing all week. It too was enjoying its peaceful moment before the adults woke and the children came out of their homes to wreak havoc and destroy the neat, white blanket that lay on the ground.
They sat there, wrapped up in scarves and thick, woollen coats for what seemed like only a minute, but the heavy, black chimney smoke that began to rise from the vent signalled the morning. Her parents were awake.
Scorpius smiled sadly, and squeezed her hand. He brushed away a single, fragile snowflake from her hair. He climbed down from his perch, and Roxanne watched him walk away, leaving a trail of impurities in the soft, once innocent snow of the night.
