Sirius and Hermione sat together underneath a tree. Snow was falling al around them, but a bubble they formed was magically protecting them from the cold.
She rested her head on his shoulder. "I can't believe Fleur and Bill are divorcing. I can't believe Fleur and Charlie had an affair. I thought those two were forever."
"Yeah, it is sad."
"Do you think Bill and Charlie's relationship will ever be okay?"
He sighed deeply and held her close. "I don't know. Right now Bill's hurt, and he has a good reason to be angry. When there's time and distance, he might be able to forgive Charlie, but Bill has to want to forgive Charlie."
She carefully averted her gaze when she asked her next question. "Do you think that could happen to us? Do you think we'll fall out of love?"
He took her chin and tilted her face up. "Now, listen to me. I love you. I'll love you forever. There's no way forever can be long enough to make me feel like I've had enough of you."
"I thought Bill and Fleur had that kind of relationship. If they couldn't make it, what hope is there for us?"
"You can't go by another couple. Every couple is different. If you let their failure rule what we do, we'll never be happy."
"I'm scared. The idea of losing you terrifies me."
He leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers in a soft kiss. "You'll never lose me," he promised and sealed it with another kiss.
She returned the kiss with quiet intensity, hoping with everything she had, that his words were true.
