This doesn't fall under any challenge that I can discern, so I'm not submitting these to [livejournal.com profile] grangersnape100, but I seem to be developing another serial drabble. I wrote In the Garden a few weeks ago, and this one came to me today:

Severus entered the room. Yseult stood in front of the mirror, smiling gently as Ginny and Luna fussed over her. They adjusted her veil, kissing her sweetly, and left Severus alone with his daughter.

“Your mother is the only woman who ever looked as beautiful as you do now,” he said, coming up behind her.

“I wish she was here,” she whispered.

Severus held his daughter in his arms, looking over her shoulder at the two of them in the mirror. “So do I.” He took a daisy and tucked it amongst the other flowers in her curly black hair.

I think I shall try to write some more along this timeline.

Severus sat on a stump, the summer sun warming his wife’s garden. Yseult read to him from a tree branch as his hands worked with the flowers. He smiled at the sound of her sweet, childish voice stumbling over the more difficult words.

He wondered at his daughter’s love of poetry. His bride had even more prosaic than he, but after receiving a book of poems from Theodore, Yseult was addicted.

Severus scowled. It had better not be because of the Lupin boy.

He stood and crowned his daughter’s bushy hair with the daisies, chained together to make a ring.
