A/N: Another tiny but cute vignette!

Prompt: Cuddling in a blanket fort [post-DH]


Babysitting

'Will you admit it now?'

'Admit what?' Hermione said, distracted as she wrapped a blanket over Victoire's small sleeping form.

'That blanket forts are fun.'

Hermione pursed her lips to hide a smile, still fussing over Victoire. It was the first time they babysat Ron's two-year-old niece on their own, but the little girl was so sweet-tempered and affectionate, and she got along so well with Ron and Hermione that they had both agreed to look after her when Bill and Fleur had called in for volunteers. Most of Hermione's experience with babies and toddlers, she had acquired only in the past three years with Teddy Lupin and Victoire, since she had mostly grown up around older people. While she was full of pragmatic knowledge about children, she tended to defer to Ron as far as fun and games went. When he had suggested making a blanket fort to play, Hermione had been a little sceptical about the idea.

It turned out that Victoire loved it.

'I suppose they are,' she admitted, leaning back. Ron wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer.

'Even for adults?' Ron asked teasingly.

Hermione tilted her chin up to him. 'A little, yes.' She looked around at the makeshift tent of blankets he had draped over chairs and the back of the sofa, completely foregoing magic. 'I didn't know you had this skill.'

Ron shrugged. 'I'm a man of many talents.'

Chuckling quietly, Hermione reached up to kiss him and cuddled up to him. She would be persuading him to use this particular talent again very soon, just for the two of them.

Blanket forts were definitely fun.
