I wasn't sure if I was ever going to get around to doing a new on of these but really, I had to. I heard this quote and it made me think of something Severus would say. See if you can guess where this one is from!

Also, there's some implied Ron/Luna in here, just because I personally think that they might be cute together.

~What am I Going to Do?~

"Hermione, you can't be serious about "dating" that... that-that git! Surely you can do better?"

Hermione glared at Ron, arms crossed. The New Year's Eve party at Burrow had music pulsating around them, the room loud and all the bodies making it quite warm. She could not believe that one of her dearest, oldest friends was so against her happiness. 'Now Hermione, you know that it would be different if he was someone else. But really, Severus isn't bad and they know that. He can just be a little difficult to get along with sometimes,' she told herself.

"Ronald, really, you know that I wouldn't even think about anyone else. Can't you just accept it?" Her voice rose so that he would be able to hear her over the din. He rolled his eyes, took a swig out of his butterbeer, and finally hit air. Did that make eight or nine, he wondered idly as he set it down on an end table near them.

"Really, Hermione, I'm absolutely serious when I say this. Ever Malfoy would be better. At least he's our age." His voice was raised more than was necessary, and he was blinking a bit much. "Heck! Even me!"

"Ronald Weasley! I don't think that Luna would appreciate it very much if she heard you saying that, I don't care how understanding she is. And I'm very certain that I wouldn't even consider something like that even if we were both single with the way you're acting!" she snapped, pushing past him as he rolled his eyes again, though whether it was from the butterbeer or his agitation, he did not know.

Hermione spotted her... boyfriend? No, that wasn't right, and it sounded quite wrong as well. Her... significant other, that was good... through the crowd. Looking at her. Looking... darn him, amused, with a silky smirk gracing his features and he leaned up against the wall.

"Now just what is so funny?" she said sourly, coming up in front of him.

"Oh come now, Hermione. There's one, like Ron, in every family. Two in mine, actually. And they always manage to ruin special occasions." He told her, reaching out and pulling her towards him. She squirmed a bit but finally relaxed to his touch.

"What am I going to do with him?" she asked with a sigh, leaning into him, breathing in his calming scent.

"Well, he'd make a very handsome throw rug," Severus suggested, quite happily at the idea, in fact.

"Severus! Really, you're as bad as he is," Hermione chastised him, but couldn't resist a laugh at it, wrapping her arms around him.

"And just think, whenever he gets dirty you can take him out and beat him." Oh, he quite liked that idea, a smirk forming on his lips as he leaned down a bit a placed a kiss in Hermione's hair.

"Fine, new question. What am I going to do with you?"


I hope you guys liked this one. It's considerably lighter than the last one and it's funny. Or at least, it is in my opionion.

Love you guys!
