The Game of life Challenge / Prompt - vacation
Week 3 of the Ship Til You Drop Competition - Aberforth/Poppy
The couple sat on the sand by the beach with wind blowing through their faces. Poppy Pomfrey closed her eyes serenely, savoring their quite moment alone together. She squeezed his hand and smiled at him. "This place is lovely, Aberforth. I'm glad you invited me here for a vacation." she whispered close to his ear.
Aberforth looked down, smiling shyly. "Well, I wanted to be with you away from all the students and of course, Albus." he shook his head, "I also don't want Albus breathing down our throats when we get together. He warned me not to mess with his staff because... Well, I'm me." he shrugged.
Poppy frowned, cupping the side of his face with her hand. "That's quite foolish for a man like Albus. There's nothing wrong with you, dear." she reassured him, planting a soft peck on his cheek. It was true- Poppy didn't understand why Albus would want her to stay away from him. Sure, he had some terrible mistakes in the past but that's what made him her Aberforth. Her Aberforth that she loved with all of her heart despite his past and his flaws.
