Severus found Remus kneeling in the garden, silently and methodically thinning out a row of faehodel seedlings. The air was chilly enough that it seemed far too early for such a chore, even though there were other plants sprouting and blooming all around them.

Severus’s injuries from the War precluded unnecessary crouching. He Conjured a bench and sat on it.

Remus continued to pluck slender pink stems out of the ground. When he reached the end of the row, he considered starting on the next – only, it was against a stone wall.

Severus scowled. “Lupin, you sleep with me. Surely you’re no longer afraid of turning your back on me for ten minutes?”

Remus’s voice was low. “I do not like what it would say to you. Having turned my back to you when I shouldn’t have.”

Severus stood up, stalked over to Remus, and stiffly knelt down next to him.
