Severus said nothing as his wife cheerfully piled food on his plate. Instead, he elected to gape at her open-mouthed.

"I'm sure you're hungry, dear, what with missing dinner last night and all, but either eat or close your mouth," she chirped with a smile.

"Um, Hermione... Why are you acting like this?" Severus asked cautiously.

"Well, I'm your wife--"

"But after yesterday, surely you're not too happy--"

"I'm willing to ignore a short lapse in judgment."

Severus frowned. "But it wasn't! I meant what I said."

"Don't be silly," she said commandingly, pushing a plate towards him. "Now, eat."
