"You want me to do what Ronald?" Hermione looked at her husband with a look of confusion on her face. She couldn't believe that he had asked her to do something as crude, as disgusting, as what he had just asked.

"Aw come on 'Mione, it's not that bad." Ron moved closer to his wife and wrapped his arms around her. They had been married for 8 months after finally coming to terms in their final year of Hogwarts that they had feelings for each other. They had dated for a couple of years when Ron finally gained the courage to ask Hermione to be his wife. Of course she hadn't objected and three months later she was walking down the aisle, dressed in her dream dress, marrying the man of her dreams.

"It's disgusting Ronald. I cannot believe you would even want me to do something like that"

"Come on Hermione!" Ron wailed, widening his eyes to try and guilt trip her. She shook her head violently.

"I'm pregnant, Ron! That means I get to say what I do and don't do!" she snapped, folding her arms across her chest. Ron frowned deeply, running his hands through his hair.

"Please! If you do this for me, I'll do anything you like..." he reached to play with her hair, but she swatted him away.

"No! I don't like it! I hate the way it feels, I hate the way it tastes and I hate how it smells!" Hermione scowled darkly.

"Hermione! No one does it like you do!" Ron tried flattery, but the stormy look in Hermione's eyes told him it wasn't working. He changed tact for the final time.

"Please, darling. I'll do anything for you, you know I will. I even got over my hatred of fish. Please, 'Mione."

"Fine!" Hermione finally conceded defeat, and with a great deal of effort she smiled as Ron lay down on the bed, a look of smug satisfaction and desire on his face.

"Hard or soft?" Hermione asked, running a hand down his chest.

"Slow and hard, Hermione. You know that!" Ron grinned with pleasure.

"One slow boiled egg and solders coming right up..." Hermione rolled her eyes as she left the room to go to the kitchen.

"I meant it Hermione! No one does boiled eggs like you!"
