It was the winter break in between semesters at Hogwarts and you had finally convinced Severus to let you move in with him. It had been a great few first days with him and you had never felt more comfortable in a new home before. It had finally stopped snowing since you had arrived at Spinner's End and the Daily Prophet showed up at your doorstep. Feeling excited for just about anything you pick it up and start reading it while sitting on the steps that lead to the upper part of the house.

After reading it for some time and finding things not quite that interesting, near the back of the paper there was an ad for the UK casting of The Phantom Of The Opera. You had only heard the music played through records and had seen photos of the stage, but from those things alone you wanted to go see it performed live. With excitement in your step, you quickly moved up the stairs and into the small living room where Severus sat in an armchair reading a book and making sure the fireplace was heating up.

Walking into the room you held the paper folded with the ad facing out so you could show him and ask if you would be able to see it. As soon as you walked through the door Severus glanced up at you from his book for only a second before you spoke to him.

"Hey, Sev?"

"Yes, Darling?" He gently placed the book in his lap and left his finger placed on the page marking where he stopped reading.

"I just read about this performance in the paper and was wondering if, maybe, we could go?" You shuffled your feet back and forth while talking. You knew that Severus wasn't too keen on leaving the house and being around other people, but you wanted to see it this past year. Especially when you had heard that most countries were performing it again. He furrowed his brow before asking simply,

"Performance?" You walked up next to him with steps making gentle footstep sounds on the hardwood floor. Holding out the Daily Prophet in front of him you let him read the ad.

"Darling, it's quite a trip to London and Brighton from here. We'd have to take the Ministry Flowpowder system to get there." He let go of the paper that he was gently holding and closed his book that was still placed on his lap.

"I know it's far, but we got time still before school starts up again. Please. I've been wanting to do something with you recently and this is the perfect thing." Severus sighed lightly while glancing back at the paper. Within a few seconds of you nervously glancing back at him and the paper he took the paper from your hands and folded it closed.

"Alright, how about the London show." You smiled like an idiot as he agreed to go and gently kissed the top of his head. Severus wasn't going to agree to go at first, but seeing just how excited you had gotten about seeing the ad and how you had said you wanted to do something with him he couldn't upset you.

A week had passed and you and your lover were walking out the front door ready to travel to London via Flow Powder. You had enchanted a small bag to be able to hold all your clothes and other things of need so you wouldn't be carrying around too much stuff. Once you had got to the Ministry-issued flow powder fireplace you held his hand and jumped through thinking of the Ministry of Magic. Quickly you were teleported away and within a few seconds, you stepped out of a dark fireplace still holding hands with Severus before calling a visitor's exit.

After a decent 15 minutes of walking you arrived at the front doors of the hotel Severus had booked for you both. You had planned to get to London the morning of the performance and would leave London later in the evening on the next day. Once you were checked in Severus brought up the idea of doing a little shopping and getting lunch before heading up to the room. Loving the idea, you locked your arm with his and explored the busy streets of London.

You stopped to buy a few muggle things such as books and an assortment of accessories before stopping at a classic old English lady restaurant for lunch. While you are both British by blood you never really have had authentic British food as Severus does most of the cooking to your tastes which aren't quite the standards of old British people. Soon enough the time had come to leave for the show and you both put on the clothes that you had brought along with you. This particular show was advertised as more of a formal viewing so you had both brought some decent muggle-looking formal clothes.

While you waited in the now-growing line you held Severus' hand gently in his pocket. He wasn't one for a public display of affection, but with it raining and everyone excited about the show you assured him that no one would care or even notice. Since you had only thought of the idea of going a week before the performance you hadn't gotten the best seats in the venue, but they were still good spots higher up to see the chandelier drop. The whole time you were looking in awe and loved every single ounce of the performance. Severus would look over at you a few times noticing just how much you were loving the show and he couldn't stop himself from smiling as you spoke about it while you waited for people to exit the venue.

The walk back to the hotel was dark and damp, but neither of you cared about it. You held each other's hands freely and while you had a light conversation about the show you would receive soft kisses on the side of your head or your hand from him. You hadn't planned to do anything special for the holidays as Severus was very keen on keeping it plain, but this had just made him conclude to make every holiday with you something special.
