Halloween Prompt - #34 Pumpkin Pie
Supervision Required
"I thought you were making a pumpkin pie?" Severus asked, leaning against the door to the kitchen with his arms crossed. A sheepish looking Harry turned around to face him.
"I... am?"
"And the kitchen has been destroyed because...?"
"Because it might not be going very well," Harry admitted, shrugging slightly.
Severus chuckled. "You've got more flour on yourself than you would need to make three pies."
"I know. Who knew pastry was so hard to make, huh?"
"If you'd used magic like I suggested, the pie would be in the oven and our kitchen wouldn't look like a crup got loose in it," Severus murmured, pulling Harry into his arms despite knowing he would likely get flour all over his immaculate robes.
"It's the first year Teddy's been old enough to enjoy Halloween though. I wanted to make him something nice."
Pressing his lips to Harry's head, Severus stepped back, taking his wand out. He set to work on cleaning the kitchen, sending a sly stinging charm at Harry while he was at it.
"Ouch!" Harry yelped. "What was that for?"
"I'm hoping it'll teach you to listen to me."
Harry snorted. "We both know that's not likely."
Ten minutes later, with a clean kitchen and a... cleaner Harry, Severus summoned one of the many cookery books Harry'd borrowed from Molly Weasley.
"What are you doing?" Harry asked, leaning his head against Severus' shoulder.
"What I should have done in the first place," Severus replied, wrapping an arm around Harry and tapping his finger on the book. "Supervising."
