Severus POV

I closed the door with a soft click and moved to shake Mr. Gideon's hand.

"You must be Severus Snape?" he asked taking my hand in his giving it a firm shake.

I nodded and motioned for him to sit on the sofa.

"Well, here are the papers for the house. I took the liberty to give it a last look over to make sure that all was in order and that nothing was amiss like broken pipes, heater, cooler, etc. All seems to be in order all that is needed is for you to sign," he said taking out a file out if his brief case.

Looking over the one last time a nodded in approval and signed. Hermione is going to adore the house I bought. It has four bed rooms three and half bathrooms, an enormous library a basement which I can use as a private lab, the rooms are more than big bedrooms, and the back of the house has enough space for garden and a pool. I am quite impressed that I could get such a beauty of a house on my own, at least without the help of my wife. I gave Mr. Gideon one last nod and shake gave him the papers and as quickly as he came he went.

I walked around the kitchen looking to see if I had all I needed to make a special dinner for Hermione. I'm not blind by any span of the imagination, I know that she was still in love with the gent that she had told me about. He must be someone special to let him go and marry me. I shook my head and focused my attention on the old recipes notebook in front of me. It belonged to my grandmother, before she died she gave me this notebook telling me that if I had a special someone I wanted to either please (or in some cases impress) I could cook something from her notebook. None of these recipes seem to be even close to adept for what I am planning for Hermione. I kept looking through the tattered notebook beginning to lose hope until the last recipe caught my attention.

Ratatouille over garlic and herb couscous. Hmm...does not sound bad. And a lobster bisque as a beginner is not bad either, and a chocolate filled dessert...yes romantic dinner is set. Now to plan and put into action the romantic (hopefully) looking bedroom of the new house.
