BONUS Prompt for 1st January 2021: How Harry and Hermione celebrated the start of the New Year together.
Hermione sighed as she hung up her mobile. 'It's official,' she said to Harry. 'Daddy's tested positive for Covid.'
'How is he?' Harry asked her quietly, as she collapsed next to him. Hermione did not reply but instead buried her face in his chest. Harry immediately wrapped his arms around her.
'Not good,' came Hermione's muffled voice, before resurfacing to face him. 'Mum's going crazy. This whole pandemic has been hard on them, but I hoped that with the vaccine around the corner, they'll eventually be in the clear, but somehow Daddy caught it.' she tiredly added, 'What an awful start to the New Year. And here I was hoping things will start getting better.'
'They will, Hermione,' said Harry gently. 'Look at Dudley. His entire family caught it, and they're all doing better now.' He then thought for a moment and said, 'Why don't we ask your Mum to come and stay with us until he gets better? We can even take turns taking care of him, seeing as we're both immune to the virus.'
Hermione gave him a tender look before kissing him full on the mouth. 'What did I ever do to deserve you?' she said lovingly.
