He shook his head sadly, sobbing into her shoulder.

"We should be here by morning." June sighed, one hand on the door. "I'll come by Floo Powder. Probably not the best idea to come by broom."

June walked outside of the house, expression grim as she mounted her broom.

She reached up to give him a lingering kiss, closing her eyes briefly. She was reminded of happier times in that moment, and, clinging to it, she started the too-long journey up to their bedroom.
