➵ FOREVER — NOAH KAHAN
'Oh my god.'Four days later and the amount of snow surrounding Grimmauld place is starting to become concerning. Everyone has agreed to go sledding— the idea suggested by Cassie and Fred. Sirius was over the moon when they mentioned it, which was automatically a yes. Molly, Victoria and Elizabeth decided to stay home and have a bit of a ladies day.
Cassie gets changed into appropriate sledding-wear, making sure to put lots of layers on. Enzo does the same and then they wait downstairs for the others. Remus has his camera; him and Arthur are only coming so they can laugh at everyone and record it all. It took a lot of convincing for Hermione, but Harry and Ron managed to convince her. They're going to a hill in the middle of nowhere— perfect for Sirius.
"I honestly can't wait, this is going to be so much fun." Cassie smiles, eager to leave.
"I know, imagine if Mattheo, Theo and Blaise were here." Enzo says without even thinking. Despite them all making up, Cassie and Enzo still feel distanced from them. No letters, no pranks. Nobody ever addresses it, but it's clear everyone feels the same. There's only so much a group of teenagers can do in the midst of a war much bigger than they'll ever be.
Cassie sighs, "I wish they were, we'd have such a laugh."
"Well, it'll be funny enough watching our dads go down the hills anyway," Enzo smiled.
Cassie chuckles, "Oh a-hundred-percent,"
Sirius stomps down the stairs with a wide grin. "Right, you ready then?"

The hillside echoes with giggles as Cassie, Sirius, Harry and Ron line their sledges up at the top. Cassie veins course with familiar adrenaline. The same adrenaline she happens to adore with her whole heart.
"Come on, Cassie!" Remus exclaims. He stands with the remaining people a few feet from where Sirius, Cassie, Harry and Ron sit, with an old camera in his right hand.
"Oi! What about me?" Sirius retorts, feeling jealous of the attention his husband isn't giving him. He's had his fair share of Remus' attention over the years, however.
Remus rolls his eyes, "And you, Pads!" Sirius winks at his loving husband, which only tempts Remus to roll his eyes agin. Even though both of them won't admit it aloud, they still think like their fifteen-year-old selves at times. It's like they're young, free and happy without a worry in the world— their only worry being what pranks they haven't already done.
The group have chosen a beautiful winter scene to sledge at. Surrounding the paper white hill was a bed of dark green spruce trees, their tips dipped in a pool of white snow. It's still snowing currently, a gesture Cassie loves all the more. A heavy snowflake lands on her nose and from where Enzo is standing, he wants to kiss it. He wants to kiss his girlfriend right here, and right now in such a beautiful spot.
"On the count of three, you'll slide down the hill and whoever makes it down the quickest wins!" Atlas shouts. Rose and Christopher stand at the bottom of the hill, ready to watch who'll come first.
Cassie cracks her knuckles and neck, preparing herself. She catches Enzo's eye and he mouthes, "You're going down!" with a thumbs down gesture. Cassie rolls her eyes with a scoff. She sticks her middle finger up at her boyfriend as he cackles.
"Three..." Atlas begins. "Two..." Sirius shuffles his sled, getting ready to absolutely destroy his daughter, godson and his best friend. Cassie can see him muttering encouragement to himself under his breath in her peripheral vision, making her giggle to herself. "One!"
