Characters: Hermione Longbottom (nee Granger) and Neville Longbottom.
Song: "ABC" by The Jackson 5.
Word prompt: Violet.
"Code Violet."
Hermione sang aloud to the old muggle radio as she fixed the cookie batter. Neville paused at the door to their kitchen. She didn't knew that he had come home early from his teaching post at Hogwarts. She swayed her hips back and forth to the rhythm of the song. The batter covered wooden mixing spoon she held upright and used as her microphone. Neville couldn't help the smile that overcame his features. He loved catching his wife being free spirited and lighthearted. They both had had a difficult childhood and adolescence with the second wizarding war and all the mischief that seemed to befall them every school year. It was good to see Hermione having fun, he almost didn't want to disturb her. Almost.
"May I have this dance?"
"Oh, Neville. You scared me." She chastised him. Hitting him lightly with the mixing spoon she was still welding. The blush that crossed her face was endearing. They had been married almost three years now and she would still blush at being caught doing something embarrassing.
"Is everything okay? Why are you home early? Not that I am not glad to have you home." She quickly added.
"There was a code violet accident this morning and I had to cancel the all classes for today and tomorrow." He answered removing the spoon from his lover's hand and gathering her into his arms. He wasn't the best dancer he knew, but he did loved dancing with his wife.
"A code violet accident?" Hermione asked after a moment of comfortable silence as they danced around the small kitchen.
"When two highly versatile plants are cross pollinated producing a previously unknown plant." He replied twirling her away and back to him in one smooth motion.
"Oh. How-"
"Teddy." Hermione grimaced. Teddy had inherited his mother's proneness to be clumsy and cumbersome.
"Enough of talking shop." Neville announced, lowering her to a dip and holding her there. He held her there. Her back bowed and her brown chocolate eyes glazing into his. "I've missed you terribly today."
"I missed you, too." She breathed slowly guiding herself closer to him and his mouth. When he pulled away she looked up dazed.
"Not now, or I won't be able to stop. Don't want your batter to go to waste." He explained helping her back to her feet.
"Heck with the batter," Hermione commented grabbing his robes and kissing him fiercely. His groan delighted her and she sent the dishes and cooking goods off the counter with a wave of her hand. She squeaked with surprise when he lifted her up and carried her out of the kitchen and towards their bed.
Fini

A/N: Ah, what can I say? I like Neville.
Anyway, in case you didn't know, dancing and singing along to ABC is mandatory ;) . Song replayed once.
Written for both the iPod Shuffle Challenge and the Every Letter Has A Story Challenge (under week one, the N in HERMIONE is for Neville.)
