Why on Earth?

Severus frowned. He wasn't sure if Hermione was being serious.

"Please?" Hermione hesitatingly added. She wondered if Severus would think her stupid for asking. It was all that romance novel's fault.

"Why?" Severus was highly skeptical.

Hermione shrugged. "Because… I'd like to…. I mean, we've been together for a while and we…well, we haven't kissed. I thought it might be nice."

Severus would have accused her of mocking him if she wasn't looking so sincere.

She honestly wanted to kiss…him? What a notion.

"If you must." He replied.

Hermione slowly approached his chair.

Severus just sat and stared at her.

………

I feel bad they didn't kiss in this chapter so for being patient with me, I'm giving you guys two chapters tonight. :D

Also, I know Hermione wouldn't necessarily read romance novels but maybe, on occasion, she indulges in them. You can blame Lavender for introducing them to her if you want to. ;) Anyway, that's why she decided it was about time she got to kiss her husband and see what it was like. After all, she's probably going to have to spend her whole life with him.

Hope you liked it:D
