Outside, the buds that had dared poke spring green heads from thawing soil, now cowered under a blanket of white. Lazy flakes drifted against the window, like the ash of icy fire in the clouds.

Sirius shifted slightly, lean muscle and sharp bone fit snug against his body. The old mansion groaned under winter's end. Steam floated from the teacups abandoned by the couch. Aromas of bergamot and honey filled the air.
Snow? Sturgis had wondered. Some evil portent, I'll warrant.
No, Sirius had answered, flicking a match into the cold hearth and dry tinder. It landed with a red-and-gold explosion of flame. Just March, coming in like a Lion.

It's nice to think there would be the odd moment of luxury and beauty in poor Lupin's life - despite the complete absence of same for him in canon...
