"I can do it." Hermione protested.

"You're holding your cup upside down. Go sit down and let me do it."

"Alright." Hermione mumbled and walked to the table. Harry was setting a cup of coffee in front of her less than a minute later. "Thanks."

Harry just smiled and sat down again. He sipped his own coffee, waiting for Hermione to come to life.
