Snow angels plague his dreams again, bittersweet memories of their childhood together close to the forefront of his mind as he remembers when things were so simple between them. He can recall a time when it was Fred and Rose against the world, when he would look out for her when there was those who wanted to hurt her.
(Or even just their more boisterous cousins, since she was always shier than the rest.)
Snapshot memories of her red hair mingled with his as they sat together on Christmas Day every year, of her coming to him when she wanted help, of her forlorn expression always becoming that of a smile when she leaves him, hit his brain as he slumbers in a fitful sleep.
He thought she would be his, that she would realise that he fell in love with her so many years ago.
But she's in love with Scorpius now, bringing him home for Christmas and allowing his blond hair to mix with her red locks, and it's more than painful for the boy left to merely have his gunpowder memories, flammable and explosive as they trickle out of his reach.
As one day, he'll move on…but today's not the day.
