Prompt: the first snowfall (can be seen in the scarvesnhats community on LiveJournal or in the story that is on my LiveJournal. It's my website on my bio here).

Remus lounged in the backdoor of Grimmauld Place, a cup of tea warming his bare hands in the chill early fall morning. A soft blanket of snow covered the yard and he watched the massive black furred body moving through it. It was hardly enough snow and all ready Remus could see it starting to melt as Padfoot rolled over onto his back, all four paws toward the gray sky above.
"He needs to come inside," Molly warned suddenly, appearing at his side. Remus shook his head.
"Let me finish my tea and I'll bring him in for breakfast," he said smoothly, taking a sip from the mug.
"Oh, all right," Molly sighed and he heard her moving back toward the kitchen. He didn't bother turning around to make sure she was gone.
He glanced into his mug and then out at the black dog currently making a day of running about through the rapidly melting snow. With a small smile, he decided that he'd had enough tea for today.
