They were lying in their bed; the heavy dark blue curtains were opened, only two spiral columns blocked their view of the glowing fireplace. Severus´s fingers were lazily playing with his husband´s hair. Harry was nearly dropping off. He was exhausted after the full day even though their new house welcomed them fondly. He was grateful that they were wizards. Moving had to be terrible for Muggles. He sighed. Severus turned his head and looked at him.

“I feel so good under the stars...”

“You mean – under the canopied bed,” Harry objected.

“No, under the stars... in your eyes.”

 

A/N2: In Czech canopied bed means bed with heaven (literally), so I don´t know if it´s clear... It was a momentary idea.

Excellent!

I love the imagery and the sense of peace and contentment that permeates this piece.

Using the Czech concept of a canopied bed as a 'bed with heaven' is a perfect use of this prompt, and a great way to teach us about your culture!

Thanks for all your contributions to the fandom ~ I'm an English speaker and I am too scared to post any of my useless attempts to write fic ~ I really enjoy yur work!

*hugs you*

That's lovely. I love the literal translation of the canopy--a beautiful metaphor.

How interesting, the literal meaning of canopied bed in Czech. I'm glad you explained as I wouldn't have known and it's a delightful thought. It also occurs to me that for Wizards, they could spell the inside of the canopy to reveal the heavens overhead. It would be a lovely sight, don't you agree?

Oh, what a wonderful meaning. This is a nice calm interlude, a wonderful moment. Thanks for showing it too us.
