The Importance of Weekends

After finishing his reports, Harry waved his wand. The parchment disappeared with a pop. Standing, he reached for his cloak.

“Wow, that was fast,” said Ron, looking up from his desk. “I’ve never seen you that motivated to finish reports before.”

Harry smiled. “Important weekend. We’re--”

Ron held up a hand before Harry could reply. “No, don’t tell me. No details, remember?”

Harry grinned. “Fine, but it’s nothing especially exotic.”

“Uh huh.” Ron returned to his reports. “Still. It’s taken me months to get used to the very idea of you and Snape. No details.”

Harry laughed. “See you Monday.”

Arriving home early, Harry assumed Severus was working on important potions in the lab, so he changed out of his Auror uniform and into more casual clothes. By the time he was done, Severus was emerging from the lab. “Projects all completed?” Harry asked.

Severus hummed. “Those that aren’t are under stasis for the weekend.” He extended his hand. “Shall we?”

Smiling, Harry nodded and was led out to the back porch, where there was wine open and two glasses waiting.

Arms around each other, they sat, sipping wine and watching the sunset. “Happy weekend,” murmured Harry.

Severus hummed. “Indeed.”

That's my kind of weekend! It's better Ron doesn't know. :-)

[alisanne]

LOL! Mine, too. :)
And yes, what Ron doesn't know won't hurt him.
Thank you!

This is completely lovely. And it fits my idea of the perfect weekend too.

[alisanne]

Mmm, I know, right?
Sadly the weekend's almost over here. :(
Thanks, hon!

It's always wonderful to read a drabble that shows us the boys enjoying their happily ever after with the kind of quiet contentment that usually comes with years of practice. I love how serene this entire scene feels. How simple their weekend plans are, how little each of them needs (besides one another) to have the most glorious weekend they can imagine. Beautiful from beginning to end, ali. Kudos on a job well done. :)

Quiet contentment is exactly what I think they deserve, so I'm thrilled that it came though here.
Thank you so much for the lovely, kind comments, dear. :)
