Chapter 12. The Treats.
The Greenlanders' house smelled like cocoa and pine. James sat on the rug with Housa, controllers in their hands, a game paused while they argued about whose turn it really was.
"You had two turns," Housa said, annoyed.
James frowned. "Because you lost."
Larissa laughed from the kitchen. "Both of you can have another turn. No duels required, please."
James liked it here. It felt easy. Safe. Like being known without being watched too closely.
Outside, snow kept falling.
Harry and Draco walked through the village with Hermione, Ginny, and Luna. They moved slowly down the main street. Small lights hung between the buildings. Shop windows shone with warm yellow light. Near the square, someone sold roasted chestnuts, and steam rose into the cold air. They stopped at a small bakery and bought a box of macarons for James, because they were his favourite.
Ginny dragged Hermione toward a stall with scarves. Luna stopped to stare at a display of wooden stars, tilting her head as if listening to them. Draco held Harry's hand inside his coat pocket, their steps careful on the ice.
"It's strange," Harry said quietly. "Letting someone else watch him."
Hermione smiled. "It's good practice."
Snow crunched under their boots. Bells rang somewhere down the street. For one afternoon, everything felt ordinary. Just friends. Just winter. Just time moving gently forward.
