Just the Three of Us

Hermione slipped into the bedroom to feed and change Charlotte before sitting down on the side of her bed to coo Charlotte to sleep. They were both exhausted.

Severus entered and sat next to Hermione. "I hope the party wasn't too much for you."

"No… it was lovely. Thank you Severus."

"Ginny planned it."

"Yes, but you let her." Hermione smiled and watched as Severus absently stroked a finger over Charlotte's cheek. She looked sleepily back at him.

"Her nose will stay small, won't it?" Severus asked offhandedly.

Hermione rested her head on his shoulder. "I'm sure it will."

"Good."

Aww.
