Trying New Things
"Severus, don't you look sexy all dressed up for the celebration."
"I don't want to go," Severus said stiffly. "And I can't get these blasted things to stay." He motioned to his wrist.
"The cufflinks? I can help," Hermione said. Her small hands deftly secured the cufflinks. "You don't usually wear cufflinks?"
"No, I don't."
"Well, it's always good to try something new," Hermione said. She squeezed his hand soothingly.
"I suppose," he conceded, glancing down at her.
"Like the new lingerie I'm wearing beneath this dress." Hermione winked at him.
Severus was suddenly very eager to try new things.
