Solitudes of Two by Deanna
Winter, to Draco, is the most beautiful of seasons. When snow weighs down the manor's roof like a white cloak, hushing everything and everyone inside, and keeping the rest of the world out, he is content. When the fireplaces are lit, burning pine cones and mulled wine scent the air, and the windows frost over to create a kind of reverse snow globe of the house...
That is when mother visits southern climes, and father comes home early. The evenings are long and gentle, filled with books and quietness, with dreams made reality and solitudes of two on the hearthrug.
