1. Foreword
When does a couple's story start? When the older of the two is born? With his or in our case her first memories? And you do realize that if there is quite an age gap it might take a while until the younger of the two turns up in that case. So does the story start with the first time they clap eyes on each other, with their first date if they have any, with their first sex, their first quarrel? Does it matter as long they live and occasionally celebrate their togetherness?
2. Introduction
The older she gets the more Minerva McGonagall enjoys lying awake in the dark early hours of the morning, with only her thoughts and her memories and the sometimes not so gentle snores of the man lying by her side as company. There were times in her life when she dreaded those hours as the time of personal reckoning, worrying and regret but now she welcomes the chance to order her thoughts for the day, to think about what happened in their lives recently, and, increasingly, to revisit the past and count her blessings. Especially when they have had a few drinks and ended up physically exerting themselves as they did the night before, he is fast asleep and she is wide awake at 4 a.m. Were she alone she would probably perform a lumos spell and read but, since she is not and does not wish to disturb his sleep, she allows herself to mull over memories instead.
