Once the film was finished, Severus got both Harry and Dudley into matching light blue paw patrol pyjamas, with red and yellow paw prints on all four limbs, and the words 'Paw Patrol' written in large red font across the front. They had already eaten chicken nuggets and chips during the film, so Severus was able to put them both to bed.
When he returned to the living room, Dumbledore was sat on the sofa with a different film loaded in the tv: Miss Congeniality.
"Are you up for another film?" asked Dumbledore, pulling a bottle of white wine and a bottle of red wine out of his bag and placing them on Severus' coffee table. Without even having to think about it, Severus agreed. After the last few months, he needed a drink, and why shouldn't he relax and watch a film with Albus?
After the film had finished and and several glasses of wine had been drunk, Albus apparated home, and Severus went to bed, feeling happier than he had in a long time. Perhaps he could turn his life around and make a new start after all.
For the first time in a long time, that night, Severus got enough sleep, without even needing to take his nightly vial of dreamless sleep.
