"Are you sure this is what they do in the muggle world?" Remus asked as we walked up to our rooftop patio, steaming mugs of hot chocolate in hand. The moon was high in the sky as it was nearing midnight on Christmas Eve. We approached the ledge before sitting down, looking out at the lights. "This seems weird to be on the roof in the middle of the night. Plus, it's freezing out here."
"Oh, hush. I told you, it's more of a family tradition, I laughed as I conjured a blanket, and wrapped it around the two of us. "Every Christmas Eve, we would go to the rooftop, drink hot chocolate, and my parents would tell stories. Most were past Christmas stories, but some were old folktales. When my brother brought his boyfriend over one year, they shared a midnight kiss, and it became part of the tradition. Now, I want you to be part of it," I explained rather quickly. I will admit, it was freezing, but it's all in good fun, right?
"So, we are going to sit here and tell stories for thirty minutes, then kiss and go back inside?" I nodded, a chuckle escaping my lips. "Why should I wait thirty minutes to kiss you?"
"I mean you can, but then the midnight kiss isn't special," I wined with a pout.
"You're breaking the number one rule," He said with a smile once he noticed my confused facial expression. To which he whispered in a sing-song tone, "you better not pout."
"Ahh, is this better?" I replied with a tight-lipped smile. He just laughed before kissing my nose. "Do you remember when James and Sirius tried to prank Snape with the slugs?"
"I do, but why don't you tell the story anyway," He said, laughing lightly at the memory.
"Well, for one, it was the first and last prank you guys had ever let Peter plan. He picked the most public place and did not keep a good eye out for the professors. I blame him for getting me stuck in detention with you morons."
"Hey! That detention made me realize that I love you," he pointed out.
"Okay, one good thing came out of that detention," I giggled as I leaned into Remus's side as a gust of wind passed. I looked down at my watch, noticing midnight was 10 seconds away. "Countdown to midnight."
"5..." Remus started.
"4..."
"3..."
"2..."
"1. Merry Christmas, (Y/N/N)," Remus said with a soft tone before leaning in to capture my cold lips with his.
