Aurora Sinistra froze at the door to the Astronomy Tower, bitterness etched into a grimace on her winter pale face.

Severus Snape stood at the parapet, statue still but for the dervish dance of his robes.

As she back-pedalled, her telescope’s tripod scraped traitorously across stone, screeching.

He whipped around, breath freezing white on the air.

"Aurora … I'm-"

"Save your breath," she snarled.

The door slammed behind her. Strains of music whipped around him, carried on the icy wind from Hogsmeade’s wood nymph choir.

‘And in despair I bowed my head
“There is no peace on earth,” I said.’

A/N: The Christmas carol is I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day.
