HERMIONE'S EXPERTISE

by: tweety-src-clt9

Hermione Granger is a talented woman. She is brilliant in almost everything she has tried to do. She only lacks skills in two things - flying and cooking. She cannot fly on a broom out of fear. And her cooking skill is really abysmal. But she is determined and she never gives up. Practice makes perfect after all. So, she keeps on trying just so she could learn how to cook.

As a thick layer of smoke fills the kitchen, she frowns. Great! She fails at frying bacon and eggs again.

"Morning, 'Mione," Harry Potter groggily greets her while flicking his wand to clear the smoke.

"Sorry about that," she blushes.

Even if she's the witch in this house she shares with her friends, she is the one who cannot cook anything right.

"Oh! You made bacon and eggs. Thanks 'Mione," Harry picks up one blackened piece of bacon and eats it happily.

He is the only person who dares to eat anything she cooks.

"Harry?"

"Hmmm?"

"Why do you eat my horridly cooked food?"

"Thaz coz I wuv wo," he murmured sleepily as he munched on the bacon.

"Pardon me?" When Harry blushes adorably, she gives him a penetrating stare.

Swallowing his food, he clears his throat.

"I said, that's because I love you."

"Oh."

"Well, this is awkward - " She rolls her eyes and interrupts his blabbering by kissing him soundly on the mouth.

She may be the worst cook but she sure is a bloody excellent kisser!
