Let Sleeping Babies Lie

Severus came in from the kitchen, holding Hermione's yellow nappy bag out to her. "Ready?" Hermione looked from her mother to Severus and shook her head.

Mrs. Granger appealed to Severus' apparent fatherly nature. "You must agree that waking her up right now would be disastrous."

"Must I?" Severus raised an eyebrow.

"Everyone knows that babies need plenty of sleep…" Mrs. Granger began to walk towards the sitting room. Talking quietly over her shoulder, she added, as if playing the martyr, "You'll have to stay the night. I suppose your old room will suffice, Hermione."

The Snapes exchanged looks again.
