Bold - Hermione Granger
Italics - Daphne Greengrass
I've been thinking…
When don't you do that?
Shut up… and while we're cuddling.
Aww…
Anyway, I've been thinking that I need to go on a diet.
What? Why? You look gorgeous just the way you are.
Thank you love, but I don't mean that kind of diet. I'm talking about a sex diet.
WHAT?! WHY?! HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THIS TERRIBLE IDEA?!
It is not a terrible idea.
If we go through with this, does it mean that we'll be spending a smaller amount of time having sex?
Yes.
Then it's clearly a terrible idea.
It is not a terrible idea.
It most definitely is, love.
It is not! Just hear me out and you'll understand.
Go on then.
I got this idea from the problems I've been facing for the past few weeks.
What problems? Granger, are you okay?
Yeah, it's just… you've been at Astoria's much more lately and both of us have to stay late at work from time to time. And during those times, I've been so randy that practically any piece of furniture reminds how I want fuck you up against it or on top of it. And that puts me off from my work.
Wait just a second. You want to stop having sex… because you keep getting horny at work? Granger, I'm going to need a map to understand what you're trying to say. Help me out here.
If we have a lot of sex on a regular basis, it will be really hard not to yearn for it when we end up in a situation where we cannot meet in person. Take the past few days, for instance. We've had to rely on the message sheet and our own fingers to keep ourselves grounded.
If you ask me, that plan isn't too shabby.
That's another thing, I do not know how you aren't as affected by this as I am. It's like I want you more than you want me, and I know for a fact that is not true.
I think I just have more practice. For years I've been stalking you while stopping my inner urges from taking over.
See, that's what I need - practice. I need to spend more time doing something else. That will calm my libido.
Granger, I don't think it works like that. Also, sex isn't the only thing that you will have an issue with. If the two of us are separated, then we won't be able to cuddle as well.
You… are right.
Yeah, so if you are making plans for something like this, take into account that aspect as well. At least for sex we'll be able to make do with the sheet if it's for a few days. Cuddling doesn't work like that.
Granger, are you still there?
Granger?
Granger, where are you? Your parents were startled when you bolted out of the house while mumbling something to yourself.
Hmm… Sorry Daph. I just needed a few minutes to let that sink in, I'll be back in a few.
Okay. Be careful, you do not have your wand.
I can take care of myself without magic.
I highly doubt that.
I am going to disregard that statement. And even then I can still use some wandless magic.
That's exactly what I am relying on to keep you safe.
Okay. I'm coming back now.
I'll be waiting.
What did my parents tell you before they boarded the flight last night?
The usual stuff. Nothing out of the ordinary.
And that is?
Your mother told me I am always welcome to Australia and that I should not try my best not to break up with you. But if you become too unbearable, then I am welcome to do so.
Ugh… Why did you charm her so well?
Hey! She's one of the few on my side in this relationship. Your father, on the other hand gave me another strict warning that should I ever hurt his baby girl, he would personally strangle me until I run out of breath. That's five people who will hunt me down to Antarctica if you cry, starting with my very own little sister.
Haha… I guess you can have my mom on your side.
Thank you for showing me some mercy.
Shut up.
Granger, I'm borrowing some of the books from your shelf.
Which ones?
I'm taking 'Advanced Ancient Potions: Part One' and 'A Beginners Guide to Transfiguration'.
Along with the potions book, you might want to grab my Rune dictionary. Most of the procedures were partially or in some cases, completely written in Runic scriptures that hadn't yet been identified by the time the author published the book.
Alright, I'll take that. Thank you.
Wait, why do you need the Transfiguration book? I do not recall any potion brewing that requires any form of Transfiguration. And also, the book contains information about transfiguration we learnt and perfected way back in our first year.
As usual, you're right about that. I'm only taking it because I need a paperweight and I can't be bothered to constantly maintain a spell over my parchment.
If that book doesn't come back in perfect con-
I know, you'll murder me ten ways to Sunday. The real question I have to ask is why you possess this book in the first place.
Oh… I need it for the first years that I am going to teach in September. According to Professor McGonagall they will always be the hardest to teach to, unless you have the Weasley twins or the Marauders as your students. So I decided to prepare early to make life easier for me when they do come around.
Granger, I do not think there's a point in doing that. When the kids do come along, you will never know how they will react to the way you teach. So a plan would only restrict you because you will try to follow it even though your students may not like the way you teach.
Hmm… I see your point. Maybe it isn't such a necessity to plan it all out and just a basic lesson plan would do.
See, I'm right sometimes.
Yeah… and that's what baffles me the most. Maybe you aren't completely useless after all. Your sister did say you have a few redeeming academic qualities. Perhaps this is what she was referring to.
The next time the two of you meet, tell her she will regret that she ever said that.
That's between the two of you, I'm not coming in between that.
Don't even for a second think you're off the hook. Her punishment will be planned, but yours… I'm going to extract whenever I feel like it.
Oh Merlin, I can't wait.
Hey Granger, I… have something I have to tell you.
What is it love?
It's my father, he… tried to contact me today.
Isn't he in Azkaban?
Yeah, he apparently appealed to the Gamot' that he should be allowed to contact me and won. He will be allowed to send me letters every few months until his release.
Oh, that's… okay.
No, it's not okay. Not many people know of this but father has always been smarter than the other Death Eaters. He made sure he never did much of the dirty work, so he wouldn't get prosecuted should Voldemort fail to win the war.
Still, I do not think it would be much of a problem. If my memory serves me properly, I believe the Aurors confiscated his wand.
It is a problem! You don't know what he'll do once he finds out. What if he alerts the rogue Death Eaters to come after you? What if-
You didn't have to come home for me just to give me a kiss and a hug… again.
Trust me, I most definitely did. And I warned you the last time it happened, it's going to happen again and again… and again… an-
You can stop that now.
I was just making sure you properly understood that I'll always be willing to come home should you need it.
Thank you.
Daphne, could you help us bake a cake for Harry? His birthday is on the 31st and we want to make sure he knows that we love him.
I do not love him so why should I participate in this?
It's because… none of us know how to cook.
Us? Who else is part of this?
Just Ginny, Luna and I.
And Ginny cannot cook?
No, she's almost as bad as I am.
I thought she might've learned something from Molly.
She did learn a lot from Molly. Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to her cooking. It seems Molly's cooking skills were passed down to Charlie instead.
Still, can't Lovegood… Right, we're talking about Lovegood, I wonder what I was thinking.
Yeah.
Can't you do something else?
Why should we, when we have you?
That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid.
Please… your cooking is extremely tasty.
Flattery will get you nowhere, Miss Granger.
Oh Really? I beg to disagree, my little slice of heaven.
Bring it on, love.
You bet I will, my sweetest devotion.
I'm liking this game.
Of course you are, my favorite orgasm machine.
…
Haha… I knew that one would work.
Fine! I'll bake your stupid cake. But only if you call me that every chance you get.
Only while we're alone… and I'll say it on the sheet only as long as both of us manage to keep our message sheets hidden.
Deal.
Well then chef Daphne, what do we need to buy for the cake?
I'll let you guys know tomorrow, we still have four days to work with it. Though, I think a shopping trip is in order.
Ugh… What is with you and shopping?
And I was starting to think I was the butch in this relationship.
Is that from those lesbian self-help books? Didn't I tell you to throw those in the trash and forget about them?
I threw them out that very night, but I remember some of the stuff I read. To me, this seemed like information that was okay for us to remember.
I agree it is not too harmful, but I did not want us to categorize ourselves based on a socially defined stereotype. It's completely alright if we're both a little butch and femme as long as we can be ourselves.
Granger… You should write a lesbian self-help book.
You're telling me that I should write a book telling people telling lesbians worldwide not to believe what is written in other books. Daph, stop making fun of me.
Alright, fine. Even if I was telling you that, I know you wouldn't appreciate being the author of such books when instead you could be making the next Transfiguration discovery that will change the field forever and somehow save millions of lives.
Good, you understand.
Of Course I Do. I love you.
I love you too. So, tomorrow at two?
Sure, we'll head out for lunch and then buy everything necessary.
Alright, see you at seven tonight… my orgasm machine.
I'm definitely putting this sheet in a frame someday.
Love it, hate it? Let me know what you think in a review.
I really appreciate those.
And of course, this clearly has another chapter. I'm actually planning on letting this run for a while, considering each chapter isn't so time-taking, they're all pretty much light-hearted fluff and I have a bunch of ideas on where I want to take this, what is the next step in their relationship, etc.
Let me know if you do not want that.
Also, the list of companion pieces just keeps on increasing. I'm listing them all down below. Check them out for more:
1. First and Last (Marriage fic)
2. Her Dress (Proposal fic)
3. Disgust (Plain fluff)
4. Care for a donut? (minor, same world)
