Visiting Julia
VI

The light of the moon reflected brightly on the glass-like surface of Lake Darling, the ripples of light giving a glow to the figures lying on the bed, covered only with a white sheet.

She lay against his chest, held protectively in place by the arm of her lover, the man she's loved since she was a girl. His hand slowly moved up and down her shoulder absently, as if he was trying to remind himself that being like this with her was allowed. He never regretted any of the choices he made when it came to her and the urge to protect her, even though he knew she was a perfectly capable witch, he couldn't help it. When it came to her, nothing else mattered.

He looked around the room, foreign, yet familiar at the same time. The warm colours of the walls along with Gryffindor scarlet and Ravenclaw blue of the comforter soothed his tired nerves like a lullaby he remembered his mother singing to him, way back in the recesses of his mind. His hand went to her fiery red hair, hair that never stopped to light a fire in his groin and make him ache the warmth only she could provide.

Life was good.
