Title: An Unwelcome Souvenir
Challenge: trimming the tree
Word Count: 100


"Here." Severus floated the box over to Remus. "Don't blame me when the branches collapse."

"I'm not putting them all out," said Remus. "Only - bugger. I thought I'd got rid of this one."

Severus peered over his shoulder to see a glass ball labeled "Our First Christmas 1998." Of all the things for Nymphadora to have left!

"Here." He plucked it from Remus's hand and transfigured it into a silver moon. "It should be easier for you to smash like this."

"Rather," said Remus. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and chucked the moon into the fire.

Oh, I love that Severus made it so easy for him. :)
Sweet!

It could have been worse; she could have left some sort of Christmassy lingerie, of the kind with the white fluffy trim?

No matter how it ended, throwing away a momento is hard, and it's a rather understated sweetness from Severus that he makes it easier.
