Severus and Hermione lay dozing in each others arms. They were content to stay where they were. Mione sighed as she lay against Severus, "What?" he asked.
"Nothing, it's just been a while since we have both been able to enjoy a morning to ourselves." She snuggled closer against him.
"It's also been a while since you have had any 'fun' making your archaic potions," Severus said matter of factly while nuzzling her ear.
"This is very true," Hermione's mind started reeling, she began to form potion equations on the blank slate on her mind.
She began to fidget and squirm, she started thinking about invincibility potions and that made Severus prop himself up. "Why on earth are you squirming like that?" He watched her, "What are thinking a..." He was cut short due to Hermione jumping up off the bed and grabbing her clothes.
"I just had an Idea," she said as she slipped on a pair of muggle jeans and a camisole. "I am going to get Cicely and Philip they'll like this 'lesson, I am sure of it." With that she ran out the door to find the youngsters.

Cicely and Philip both sat atop high stools in Hermione personal potions room. They were both excited to be included in a 'top secret experiment'. Cicely watched with total concentration and Philip watched her. Hermione scanned the shelves and found a book that she wanted.
"Cicely will you read me the uses of water dragon parts for me?" the girl nodded as she was handed the book.
"Water dragon scales, teeth and claws have been long used in curative potions and potions to prevent hexes and curses from being fully functional." she looked at Hermione, then continued reading, "There have been tales told that water dragon eggshells have the same curative and hex preventing properties...
"I knew it!" Philip fell out of his chair when Hermione shouted. "Now were did I put those shells..." She rummaged on the shelf again and pulled out a dull iridescent leather bag. She emptied the contents on the table before her the shimmered like bits of moon beams.
"Those are very pretty," Cicely said as she looked at them Philip nodded.
Hermione smiled and picked out two large pieces and handed them each one, "I don't know when you ever be able to get these again," she said as Cicely beamed. "I think if I uses this, Manticore quills, Basilisk blood and unicorn tears I may be able to make something...."
Hermione took down two mortars and pestles, she put Manticore quills in one and a handful of the eggshells in the other. She gave one to each of the two youngsters sitting by her, " could you grind these into a fine powder for me?" they nodded, she smiled, "twenty points to Gryffindor apiece,"
