The Party at the Burrow
Elaine fidgeted at the long crowded table, turning over the butter glazed asparagus with her fork. Severus rested his warm palm over her knee under the tablecloths shadow.
"They are exhausting, I know," he leaned down to whisper.
The table was fully stuffed with all manner of redheaded people, with Potter presiding over the whole mess with a wide smile. Remus sat at the other end watching her silently, disapproval clear on his serious face.
"They are lovely," she murmured back, "But there are so many!"
Severus laughed, full and loud, and everyone froze to stare open mouthed at him.
