The Worth of Magic
Severus watched Hermione pick up Charlotte and was struck by an idea.
"I can go one better."
Hermione frowned. "What are you talking about?"
Severus said nothing as he took his daughter from Hermione's arms. He looked at her for a moment while she continued to quietly protest.
"She's hungry." Severus simply said.
"And how would you know that?" Hermione frowned. She was the one who was supposed to have motherly instincts.
Severus handed Charlotte back to her mother and raised an eyebrow, pleased he actually found a way he could be helpful.
"Severus?"
Severus answered with a smirk, "Legilimency."
