Severus looked up from his book as Remus came in through the front door, accompanied by a gust of frigid air.
“What have you been doing in the back yard all this time? It’s freezing out there.”
Remus stamped his snowy boots against the rug and smiled a rosy cheeked smile. “Immortalizing us in snow.” He reached down to tug at Severus’s arm.
Severus jumped up off the sofa and shook Remus’s hand off his arm. “Your hand feels like ice. What do you mean you’ve immortalized us in snow?”
“Come and see.” Remus plucked Severus’s cloak from its hook by the door and held it out.
Severus crossed his arms. “I’m not leaving this nice warm fire to go traipsing around in the snow. It’s freezing out there.”
“Please, Severus.” Seeing that wheedling wouldn’t work, Remus went for bribery instead. “If you’ll come outside for just five minutes, maybe less, I’ll make you hot chocolate and some of those biscuits you like.”
“The cinnamon and chocolate ones?”
“Yes.”
“A double batch?”
“All right, a double batch. Now put on your cloak and follow me.”
With a reluctant nod, Severus took the proffered cloak, slid it over his shoulders, and cast a warming spell on himself as he followed Remus out the door.
Sitting in the middle of the snowy yard were two snowmen, one wearing a Slytherin scarf and a frown and the other wearing a Gryffindor scarf and a grin. Their faces were made of carrots and bits of coal and their arms were made of small tree branches that had come down in a recent storm.
“See,” said Remus proudly. “It’s us.”
“Yes... an... interesting likeness, though we’re hardly immortalized. Snowmen, thankfully, will melt.”
“Not if I put a preservation spell on them.”
“True,” Severus agreed with a grimace as he crossed his arms and lifted an eyebrow. “But you won’t, will you.”
Remus sighed. “No, Severus, I won’t.”
Severus nodded in satisfaction. “Good.”
