Memory Lane
It was a cold mid-November night in northern Scotland. The only light for miles was the warm glow of a fire from the front window of a small two bedroom cottage on the coast. There was a thin trail of smoke coming from the chimney. Inside the cottage the fire was beginning to die down to a pile of coals, then as if by magic (and in fact it was) three pieces of fire wood lifted off the stack next to the fire place and settled onto the coals with a soft flump. Ass the flame began to lick the wood the added light showed the romantic scene in side. On the couch facing the large picture window were two people, one of whom was asleep the other was wide awake. The one who was awake was none other than Hermione Granger, the head of the Department for Magical Introduction, a relatively new department for introducing muggle born wizards and witches to the magical world to help ease the shock of discovering the existence of the magical world. Hermione looked out of her front window, out over the beach and saw the sea crash onto the rocks below her house and she wondered how she could be this lucky. Just then it began to snow.
"Ginny… Ginny wakeup it's starting to snow."
"Hmmm… what's going on?" asked Ginny sleepily as she rose slowly to a sitting position and began to rub the sleep out of her eyes. "Snowing? When did it start?"
"Just now you silly goof, I know you love snow, I'd never think of watching the first snowfall of the year without you."
"Damn right you wouldn't." responded the redhead as she snuggled closer to her brunette beauty.
Ginny and Hermione had been married for six years and every November they had repeated this tradition. They would sit on the couch and wait for the first snowfall and eventually one of them would fall asleep and the other would wake them up to watch the snow.
The marriage had been a simple affair with only close friends and family in attendance, Harry and Draco Potter and Ron and Pansy Weasley as well as the rest of the Weasley clan and Severus Snape and Remus Lupin, who had recently moved in together, and Neville and Luna Longbottom had made it to the ceremony. They had been married in the fall after Ginny's seventh year at Hogwarts. The wedding was at the coast amongst the leaves in and ancient oak grove. They had written their own vows and were married than none other than Dumbledore himself. After the wedding the honeymooned at some of the most magnificent magical and non magical places they could find, the went to the Hoover dam, the Grand Canyon, the Great Wall of China, Stonehenge, Easter island, and many other places before returning to Scotland and settling into Hermione's house. Hermione went back to work at the Ministry of Magic and Ginny went to work for the Ministry as well in the Department of Magical Import/Export Regulation as an aerial security guard. It was her job to fly patrols in the skies to prevent unlawful import and export of goods.
"I love watching the first snowfall of every year, that's why I decided to move to the north coast of Scotland, so I can see the first snow of the year" Remarked Hermione.
"I know baby, and I love watching the snow with you" Ginny replied.
After a while of sitting in silence together Hermione leaned over to Ginny's ear and whispered, "You do remember what tomorrow is… don't you?"
"Umm… know I don't remember" said Ginny, dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh good, glad to see that you remembered our sixth anniversary, I was worried that you might have forgotten this year." Hermione replied.
"Forgot… FORGOT! How dare you even think that I would forget the anniversary of the best day of my life! Forgot? I think not" responded Ginny hotly.
"Sorry, I was just worried because you hadn't said anything and I thought you might have made plans, you didn't did you?" asked Hermione.
"No I didn't I just figured you would have planed some big night on the town but I'll just wait and be surprised.
"We should probably get to bed soon, it's late and we both have work in the morning" Hermione said.
"You're right as always love, plus I'm flying the South shore patrol in the morning and it will be very cold up there, especially just after it snows."
Both of the women stood up and walked up the stairs hand in had towards their bedroom at the end of the hall. As they walked past the first bedroom Ginny glanced in.
"We might need to expand your office again; the books are starting to stack up… how do you even walk through here?" Ginny commented.
"Well you know they keep reprinting books and I like to keep an up to date library for teaching muggles about the wizarding world" retorted the brunette bookworm.
"I know you do my dear" as Ginny said this she leaned in and kissed her wife passionately on the lips, "that's one of the things I love about you, you thirst for knowledge and your desire to help those funny people".
"Well I love you too Ginny" Hermione replied and she kissed Ginny back.
Then hand in hand they walked to their bedroom and slipped into their warm pajamas and crawled into bad and fell asleep in each others arms.
