Sweeten the Bitter

It is not exactly romance.

Remus has learned the patrol patterns, and he wakes in the predawn light, in the cold.

Footsteps stop by his cage. There's a gift thrust through the bars – a flask of hot tea, this time. Their fingers touch, there's a breath in his ear, and he is undone.

The others rattle the bars of their cages, and Severus turns away with threats. Remus shivers at his voice.

He watches Severus leave the camp, listens to the disappearing thud of his footsteps. It is not exactly romance, but Severus remembered to add sugar to his tea.

Stealing Sins

Potter is sin – all seven of them.

His eyes are envy-green, wide with greed as he watches Draco. The Snitch is between them, a golden glow, and Potter takes it, snatching it out of Draco's fingers.

Pride is in Potter's hips as he dismounts his broom, swaggering all the way to the celebrations.

Wrath – Potter breathes it, a dragon with his fire. He steals the last tart, glaring at Draco.

Potter's lips, smeared sticky with treacle – that's gluttony.

Sloth is Wednesday spent abed, calling in sick to work. They wrestle for the covers, and Draco steals Potter's sins from him.

Remnants of Empire

In Paris, a table in a crowded café – Harry falls in with Tom. They fit together in this city of love, two strangers who are not strange to each other. They share a walk, a river, a story.

A train ride, another city, Harry says, "This is the path of our lives." Boiling water with magic and conjuring milk, Tom gives him tea from China. There's no sugar – he drinks it dark. Harry learns to like it that way.

They honeymoon in Rome, walking over the remnants of an empire. Sunlight brightens Tom's hair – Harry kisses him. "Let's go home."

Gladly

Tonks is in the shower, and she's forgotten to ward the door. Fred and George sneak in a pair of Extendable Ears.

There's nothing to hear but splashing, and then she starts singing. Her voice echoes, and she hums off-key when she forgets the words.

After a chorus, the water is shut off. She bursts through the door, clutching a towel around herself and holding pink fishnet stockings.

Her hair is aqua, spiky and dripping wet, and her face is red – she's lovely. "You'll pay –"

"Gladly, m'lady." Fred elbows George, and they race to beat Tonks to the bedroom.

Making it Better

Remus licked the grease from his fingers, pushing his plate away. "No, it was worse than that."

Harry leaned closer, opening another beer for him. "How bad was it?"

"She – her hair flushed pink when I looked at her."

"And? That's not so bad, Remus."

"She – she wanted me to kiss her!"

"That's what people do on first dates," Harry said, looking up at him.

"You don't understand – it was dreadful, the worst first date ever."

Harry climbed into Remus's chair, kneeling astride his legs. He leaned in, their lips a breath away. "Let me make it better for you."
