Severus patrolled nightly, despite the dearth of students remaining over Yule. Someone had to watch, after all.
Passing the Great Hall he paused, seeing a familiar face.
“Lupin?”
Lupin smiled. “Happy Christmas, Severus.”
“What are you doing?”
“Celebrating.”
Severus snorted. “Has our predicament escaped you? They celebrate. We watch.”
Lupin shrugged. “We can still enjoy ourselves. Wine?”
Accepting, Severus sipped. “Tastes like varnish.”
Lupin smiled. “It grows on you.”
“Don’t you envy...” Severus stopped.
Lupin moved next to him. “No. I’m content. Now.”
And as the two portraits watched Christmas dawn from a common frame, the world seemed much brighter.
