Perfection is the Purpose
"What do you think?" Hermione turned around in her chair and looked up at Severus who was standing behind her.
He finished scanning the last sentence as Charlotte gurgled in response.
"Good."
This attempt was Hermione's tenth. Severus hoped it was her last.
"That's what you said the last five times!"
"Because they've all been good." Severus replied in exasperation as he rocked Charlotte hoping she'd hurry up and sleep.
Hermione sighed and turned back to her letter. "It's got to be perfect!"
Severus rolled his eyes and made a face at Charlotte. She agreed that her mother was crazy.
