Just a meaningless drabble - hope you enjoy!
Severus Snape was sat at his desk grading the dreaded first year essays, the current parchment being covered in corrections made with blood red ink.
'No Mr Thomas, dittany is not used to treat nausea. Are these dunderheads neverending?'
Sighing heavily he'd just taken a sip of his coffee when he heard a yelp followed by a loud thump. Getting up swiftly he made his way through to his quarters. Striding into the sitting room he spotted his lovely young wife sprawled on the floor clutching her ankle.
'Hermione love, I'm not sure balancing on a stool was the best way to hang that,' he said glancing at their wedding portrait. Yes he had married Hermione formerly known as Miss Granger - the best thing he had ever done.
'You're right, getting you to do it would have been a better idea,' she pouted.
'God she looks adorable when she does that.'
Smiling slightly he went to her side and gently examined he foot, pulling back when she winced in pain.
'It's most likely just a sprain, but I suggest a visit to Madame Pomfrey is in order, hmm?'
She nodded in concurrence. 'Why am I such a klutz?'
'It's just another of one of your many charms my sweet,' he replied smirking. Her response was a playfully blown raspberry. Hoisting her up with support under her knees and shoulders he made his way out of their quarters to the infirmany. She had her arms wrapped around his neck and was busy distracting herself by tangling her fingers in his hair. When he glanced at her she saw the smile in the corners of his eyes and coming back to herself she asked, 'Wouldn't it have been more practical to have conjured a stretcher?'
'Yes but there is one vital flaw in that idea.'
'What, you'd have missed an opportunity to cop a feel?'
'Pretty much.'
Her answer to that was a roll of the eyes before nuzzling into his neck. 'You needn't have bothered, they'll be plenty of time for that later on.'
He tightened his hold and with a smirk kicked open the door to the infirmary...
Yay! My first EVER fic. I have no idea where the idea came from so please be gentle!
