Change is on the Horizon

Completely unsatisfied, Severus returned home a few hours later. He was oddly silent at dinner, something that worried Hermione.

Contributing it to Severus' unwillingness to return to work the next day, she tried to brush her concerns off. But when he barely said anything to her as they went about their nightly routine, she began worrying again. What was bothering him so much?

"Tell me Severus. Do you just not want to go back to work tomorrow?"

"Work?"

"Yes, school…"

"I'm not going to work."

"What? Why not?"

"I asked for a month off. Did I forget to tell you?"

Sometimes worries about newborn babies and wives who love you overshadow facts such as asking for time off work. –grin-

So sorry I missed a few days updating. A big scary English paper will do that to you. Thanks for being patient!
