Author's Note: Sorry it took so long to get this up. My family was on a camping trip this weekend.

Hermione woke to Severus getting off the bed. He kissed her forehead when he noticed her eyes open.
"What time is it?" Hermione asked.
"Half six," Severus answered. "I have some lesson plans to finish. Dumbledore has put a spot for you at the Head Table if you would like to eat breakfast with me."
Hermione smiled. "I'd love to."
She watched her husband get dressed and walk out of their room to go to his office. She got up not long after and took a cold shower before getting ready for the day. An hour later she strode into the Great Hall and after greeting her friends, took her place next to Severus.
"Nice of you to join us Mrs. Snape," Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling as she blushed.
"Albus," Professor McGonagall chided. "Leave the poor girl alone."
After breakfast, Hermione kissed Severus on the lips before heading to her first class.
Potions was Hermione's last class of the day. She took her usual seat next to Harry and got her things out. As the bell rang, the classroom door slammed open and Professor Snape walked in.
"Quiet," he snarled, and all the whispering ceased.
"Open your books," he continued. "You'll be brewing a simple healing potion today. I expect it done acceptably by the end of class."
Hermione and Harry quickly got to work on their potion. They were able to finish it with 20 minutes to spare, and Hermione thought it looked perfect. She took a vial of the liquid and brought it up to her husband, who nodded at her with approval.
She went back to her seat to pack up her things when all of a sudden, Neville and Pansy Parkinson's potion exploded, spraying her and Harry with the botched liquid. She felt it start to burn into her skin and cried out.
"You insolent children," Snape spat at the duo. "20 points from Gryffindor. I'm sure this was your fault Mr. Longbottom. Can't even brew a simple healing potion."
With that, he levitated Harry and Hermione to the Hospital Wing, which was the last thing Hermione remembered before her world went black.
She woke up to see white walls around her, and she was lying on an uncomfortable cot.
Madam Pomfrey bustled by Hermione.
"Ah, Mrs. Snape," she said. "You're awake. Drink this."
She handed Hermione a potion that smelled and tasted equally foul.
"Pain reliever," Madam Pomfrey told her, seeing the younger woman's confused look.
"Where's Professor Snape?" Hermione asked.
"He's down in his office," the matron answered. "You're welcome to join him if you wish. There don't seem to be any lasting side effects from the accident. And Mrs. Snape, feel free to call him Severus around the staff."
Hermione blushed and thanked the woman. She crawled off the cot and started to head down to her husband's dungeon office. On the way she ran into Draco, who was coming up the hall.
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked her. They had become friends after the war, when it had been revealed that the Malfoys were spies like Snape.
"Yeah," she answered. "No lasting side effects."
"Good," he replied. "Gotta run though, I have a date with Luna."
Hermione smiled at him as he ran off, before continuing down to the dungeons.
She found Severus sitting in his office and talking with Professor Lupin while they graded some of the younger student's essays. He looked up as his wife walked through the door.
"How are you?" he asked.
"A lot better, thank you," she answered. "No lasting side effects."
Remus cocked an eyebrow at the pair.
"A potion exploded in class today," Hermione explained, and the man nodded.
"I had an elf bring you some dinner," Severus said. "It's in the kitchen if you're hungry."
Hermione nodded and slipped away into their quarters to eat. She then sat down in the study and started her Defense essay that was due on Friday. Surprisingly that was the only homework they had received today. When she could no longer concentrate, she stood up and stretched before looking at her muggle watch. She saw that it was nine o'clock, and knew that Remus and Severus were probably just starting their rounds. She walked over to the bathroom and removed her clothes before running hot water for a bath. She slipped into the tub and groaned as she felt the heat relax her muscles almost immediately. She added some of her favorite bubble bath and sat in the tub for a while. At some point she must have fallen asleep, as she woke to fingers gently massaging her scalp. She noticed her shampoo bottle standing on the edge of the tub, and Severus's robes and undergarments littering the floor.
"Welcome back, love," she heard her husband's silky voice behind her.
"What are you doing?" she asked sleepily.
"Washing your hair," he replied, kissing her cheek softly, before dunking her unexpectedly under the water.
She came up spluttering with water in her eyes. She certainly hadn't been expecting that. She turned around to face him, groaning as their groins brushed.
"What was that for?!" she exclaimed, feeling him harden against her.
"Had to rinse the shampoo out," he replied, eyes twinkling. "Imagine my surprise when you weren't in our room, and when I walked into the bathroom I find my gorgeous wife completely naked while in the bathtub."
"And you decided to join her," Hermione said. "Good choice."
Severus drained the bath and dried them off magically before walking her to their bed, and spoiling her in a long night of love making.
