Coming Clean

"Hi, Dad." Hermione thought rational conversation might prevent her from rolling on the floor, crying with laughter at the sight of her husband.

"Oh, Hermione. I was coming out but I got sidetracked." When Mr. Granger answered, he pulled his tools out of Severus' mouth. "If you'll give me a minute."

"Sure thing." Hermione dashed out before Severus could let loose his indignation but she was called back with a very loud, very crisp, "MRS. SNAPE!"

Trying to stop her mouth from grinning, Hermione returned. "Yes, Severus?"

Mr. Granger was not often speechless but this was one of those times.
