Author: sophierom
Wizard/Witch: Ron/Hermione
Rating/Warnings: G/PG
Prompt: New Year's Eve
New Year’s Eve, and it strikes him: she is getting old. The silver threads are difficult to see in the candlelight, but he found one long, twisted strand in the shower this morning. The laugh lines are more obvious, particularly when she raises the flute of champagne to her lips. And her breasts, which had somehow withstood the effects of breastfeeding and gravity, have finally begun to sag.
She looks up from her dessert - just fruit, she told the waiter, patting the slight bulge of her belly - and notices him staring. “What’s the matter?”
He smiles. “Nothing. Nothing at all.”
A/N: This goes out to Ron; I think he'd also improve with age. :-D
