The Way To His Heart – Severus
"EEK!" The shriek echoed up the staircase, causing one dozing Potions Master to jolt awake, glasses sliding down his nose as he glanced around the room curiously. "Hermoine?" he called, slowly getting to his feet. Quietly making his way downstairs, Severus Snape could only stare in fascinated horror as his girlfriend of three years ran at him, followed closely by a tidal wave of books. Skidding into his chest, Hermoine then turned and slammed the doors just as the books reached them.
"Hermoine?" Severus questioned once more, becoming more and more perplexed as his wife slid down the wall to sit at his feet, giggling nonstop. "What was that?"
"Your new books arrived!"
"Really? And where, pray tell, are they?"
"Currently?"
"Yes."
"Beating the tar out of the door," she answered, gesturing to the shuddering pair of doors just to her left.
"And what did you do to upset them?" Severus asked, sitting down beside his now-calm wife.
"Well….I may have made the comment that some of them were out-of-date references."
"Hermoine!"
"Some of them are!" she defended herself, crossing her arms over her chest. "And besides--" the rest of her protest was cut off when Severus hauled her into his lap and kissed her.
"I love you," he murmured, cupping her face in his hands so he could kiss the tip of her nose.
"I love you, too," she told him, blushing as the front door opened. Draco Malfoy and his wife, Ginerva stopped at the sight of the couple on the floor.
"New books came in?" Ginny and Draco asked at the same time.
