Hermione woke up to find Tinky and Corby fast asleep on the sofa. Remembering they had both been up late the night before helping after the dance and then spent the day help packing. She started breakfast. Severus came up behind her and kissed her neck letting his hands wander a little.

'I'll start the tea.' as he filled the pot and put it on the stove.

'Do you still remember how to muggle cook?'

'Obviously, I was raised muggle and I did have a kitchen in my quarters at Hogwarts.'

'I do remember you spending most meals in the great hall with us dunderheads.' she said with a smile.

'Well yes I had to keep a close eye on you trouble makers.' as he kissed her neck again, as the tea pot whistle sounded, waking the kids.

'Miss, you started without me.' looking up set.

'Oh that's ok Tinky. Can you set the table?' pointing to the cabinet.

After breakfast the kids cleaned up.

'I feel bad,' looking over her shoulder.

'Hermione Granger that is what they live for, if you make it too easy for them they will turn soft. We have to give limits. Their chores and if, IF they have time crafts, no more than 1 hour of telly a day, If this gets out to the other houses that you give such grand liberties, the other elves will treat ours badly, this goes against all house elf code. Remember they are house elf first and kids second, Ok?'

'Yes, I guess just thinking there is not much for them to do here at the manor they had the whole thing to keep clean they only have what 5 rooms and a bath.'

'The yard will keep them busy, weeding and harvesting. So don't worry they know how to keep themselves occupied they have been doing it for years. Tinky knits on her free time and Corby well we will find a hobby for him but please stop treating them as kids, Ok?' he put both of his hands on her shoulders.

'Are you ready to go shopping? Oh and Kings said he has a work crew to dig the basement coming on Monday if that is ok with you?'

'Yea, Monday is fine, how long will it take?'

'One to dig and one to build walls. So two days,' Severus said. 'I put in for a few days off to help out.'

'Oh thank you,' as she reached over to kiss him. 'Let's go.' They apparated to the store ally. Hermione found two highchairs, kids beds, dressers and desks, two tiny kids rockers. A hand full of coloring books for both as Tinky had fun with her page Corby had given her and a mini sofa and recliners. Severus said no to the recliners. Before leaving the ally they shrunk the boxes down and put them in their pockets.

When they got home both elves were in the garden. She was going to go out but Severus pulled her up, 'They are working don't bother them unless you have more pressing matters for them to do.' Severus said.

So Hermione built their furniture and put it on the back wall of the dining room until the basement was finished.

'Hey do you have any ideas about a pond?' as she sat down at the desk and drew out an idea for the pond. 'What do you think of this?' as she looked over to see Severus drawing on a pad of paper.

'I like these pencils, makes drawing so much easier. Um what did you say?' looking up, as Hermione held up here drawing. 'I like that.'

'What's your idea?' as she moved behind him to sneak a peek. 'Oh wow I like that better, glass up top so you can watch them swim by. Oh, yes Please, I want that one with those fancy koi fish.' as she wrapped her arms around Severus's neck and kissed him. He groaned and thru the pad to the side and pulled Hermione over the back of the sofa, his hands wandering all over her body. She stopped and looked at him in the eyes and slowly crawled down to his bulging pants. She slowly unzipped him. He started to protest but she just shook her head. She released his hard cock. She started to lick the tip, he groaned. Licking up the side.

'Um, are you going to be able to wait 6 months for sex?'

'With blow jobs like that, yes.' he grinned, she slapped his leg.
