A Winter at Hogwarts

Epilogue

I don't know what woke me, but I'm pretty sure it was Winter snoring loudly behind me. She had her arm around me as it had been on the Hogwarts Express when we left on our last day. Moving as slow and as gently as I could, I moved her arm off of me and I put on a robe with the Gryffindor crest. On the back of it was the last name Potter and underneath it, a big number seven. Underneath, I was wearing a plain white T-shirt, and pajama pants with the Hogwarts crest all over them.

Flipping the light switch on in the living room, I looked at the shelves of books Winter and I had both collected. One shelf in particular contained one set of books along with artifacts that went with it, the seven Harry Potter books. Next to it was the Blu-ray edition of all eight films in one set. We also included the Fantastic Beasts screenplays, and the special rehearsal edition of the script to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

With a smile, I grabbed the first Harry Potter movie and popped it in. I turned the TV down, so I wouldn't wake James and Luna. I skipped ahead to when Harry saw Hogwarts for the first time, floating on a boat across the black lake.

"What are you doing?" Said Winter from behind me.

"Nothing. I just...had a dream we went to Hogwarts." I replied.

She smiled and we both looked at the clock. "It's two o'clock in the morning. Are you sure you're okay? I know you had a rough day, but you need sleep."

I nodded with a smile and made myself a glass of orange juice. Winter was wearing the Hufflepuff blanket I made around her shoulders, short pajama shorts and a spaghetti strap tank top. She wrapped her arms around me. "You gonna tell me about that dream of yours?"

"Maybe tomorrow." I replied. "But I'm okay. I just...I realized that I can't focus too much on negative energy. It might drive me crazy."

"Come back to bed." She said, resting her head on my shoulder.

I drank my few gulps of orange juice, and turned off the TV. Before I made my way back to bed, I sat the remote down on the big yellow sofa in front of the fireplace.
