As darkness filled his cottage, Remus picked up a candle and crossed the room to set it in the window. Perhaps tonight would be the night. Perhaps at last, the candle would light Severus’s way back to him.
He’d remained living in this cottage, waiting and hoping, for such a long time. The traitorous thought flitted through his mind that maybe it had simply been too long. Their parting was so rancorous, and the long, lonely silence was so cold.
Still, he couldn’t give up yet. Not at Christmas. So once more he raised his wand, and with the magic of a thought, lit the candle and watched the flame blossom.
As he lowered his wand, there came a knock at the door. With a heart full of hope, he moved to open it.
