"Funny. Those marshmallows seem to have disappeared at lightning speed."
"Is there a problem?" Hermione asked finally.
"No, not at all. All you have to do is admit it."

She snorted. "Not in front of your students, you wouldn't."
"Well, would you look at that! No students here to judge you," Severus replied, smiling down at his wife.
