Hermione sat on the couch reading The Medieval Origins of Transfiguration. Fred sat next to her.
"Stroganoff."
Hermione did not look up.
"Spelunking."
Hermione continued to read.
"Persnickety."
Nothing.
"Oyster."
She sniffed.
"Poodle."
She glanced up at Fred, her lips pursed slightly.
"Innuendo."
Her upper lip twitched.
"Coagulate."
Hermione bit her lip and shook her head.
"Canoodle."
She smiled at him. "You are impossible."
Fred gave her a huge grin. "I told you I could make you smile just by saying funny sounding words. You now owe me 20 kisses."
"I'm beginning to like losing bets to you," Hermione giggled.
