As she entered through the door and threw her handbag on the couch, she was ready to drop with exhaustion.
"Ron? Honey, I'm home!"
"Yeah I'm in the kitchen."
"Are the kids asleep?" she asked as she entered.
"Have been for the past hour" he replied.
She shot him a smile in response.
Ron frowned.
Over the years he had seen Hermione frown, cry, laugh, yell and smile more times than he could count. And each time, without fail, her smile brought a warm glow of satisfaction within him.
But this, this was different. It was wrong.
It didn't reach her eyes and light them up like it usually did.
Ron vowed to fix that, to bring back THAT smile on her beautiful face.
"Say 'Mione? What about we go to the theatre tomorrow? I'll talk to Kingsley directly so they have to give you leave. You work too hard already" he proposed, knowing that women loved the mush-fest that was opera.
"Deep, that was" Ron said to his wife as they exited the opera house.
"Mmm" she replied.
"I mean, in that last scene…" he rambled on, in an honest effort to seem like he enjoyed the show.
Hermione turned towards him, her brows raised.
"You enjoyed that?" she questioned in an incredulous tone "I find that a bit hard to believe since I'm pretty sure the entire theatre heard your snores."
"Umm" Ron coloured rapidly.
"Oh it's alright. I didn't like that crap either" she said, dismissing his embarrassment with a chuckle.
"I'm so glad you th- Whoa! Wait! You didn't like it? I spent 60 galleons on that piece of shi—"
He was interrupted in his tirade by the sound of Hermione's giggle.
Glancing at her, he saw that her smile had once more brought a wonderful sparkle to her eyes.
It wasn't what he had planned but ah well whatever!
He joined in on her glee.
Mission Accomplished.
