Flowerpot

Drabble 51

It was winter in Scotland and flurries of snow twinkled like falling stars, slow as molasses, but just as powerful in their own way. Two figures sat in comfortable silence; one had a dusting of white powder that stood out against his wild, raven-black hair. The other was no less covered, yet the brilliant snowflakes were insignificant compared to the platinum beauty of her soft tresses.

“Fleur?”

“Yes, ‘Arry?”

“I’m a little cold, do you think you could help out a little?”

Fleur smiled at her partner, happy that the normally stoic man trusted her with his worries, his fears, and even insignificant pains such as this. He had come a long way.

“Of course, mon Cherie.” A snap of her fingers. The ignition of a spark. The increasing warm glow of a private fire. The winter night was not so cold anymore, and the two were content.
