Christmas Hope
"You know...now that we have finished reading this story I think that Scrooge was without much hope all of the way though the book and he is still without any now that it has finished," Remus said with a frown as he looked down at the closed book while his mate snuggled up against him.
"I think that Scrooge always had a lot of hope and always will have," Harry said softly as he lazily rested his head on Remus' shoulder. "Remind me to send that letter to 'Mione tomorrow, she'll have my head if I don't."
"Alright love," Remus replied slowly only to turn his attention to Harry. "What do you mean by Scrooge having lots of hope? I know that it is almost Christmas and the time for good will to others and that the book ends happy...but Scrooge seems to start out like Severus Snape only to end up as someone like you or Molly Weasley."
Harry laughed softly. "Remember love, hope is always the strongest in the darkest times. Even when we squash it down and out of our heart it is still there. Scrooge reminds me a lot of Tom Riddle before he became Voldemort...he is also a bit like me too."
Remus raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
"Yes," Harry stated simply with a knowing smile as he stared at the Christmas decorations decorating the nearby shelf. "We both come from a dark and painful past and we both had the same sort of hope to begin with...but it is how we used that hope, just like Scrooge, that has shaped us to make us who we are today."
End.
