2nd December - Watching Snow Fall

The first snowfall of the year was always something special for Remus, and as such he wanted his husband to be part of it. Severus, though, not quite known for his romantical streak, seemed not that taken with the idea of spending hours on the front porch, watching snowflakes sailing to the ground. He had better things to do with his already sparse free time (brewing new potions amongst the most popular), but Remus was determined and Severus finally relented.

Huddled together under a large downy blanket (and some heating charms for good measure), Severus counted the snowflakes as if they were sheep, the activity lulling him into a pleasant state of near trance.

"I love the first snow of the year," Remus whispered, not wanting to break the serenity/boringness of the moment.

"So you've told me on several occasions already," Severus intoned. "I still don't see the point, but if it makes you happy, I'm going to indulge you..." He heaved a long-suffering sigh.

Remus poked his arm.

"Thanks ever so much," he huffed. "I'm glad you enjoy spending so much time with me when the kids aren't around."

"Yes," said Severus, smirking and settling back for some sleep.
