Cooling Off
Severus planted a chaste kiss on Hermione's cheek. "Do you think I could have a shower?"
Hermione smirked. "A cold one?"
Severus laughed. "That wasn't my intention."
Hermione moved off him and sat up, pulling her hands through her tangled hair. "Yeah, Mum only wants us to start dragging ourselves downstairs. It won't be ready just yet."
Severus lifted an eyebrow as he stood. "In that case, will you join me?"
Hermione laughed and shook her head. "I should check on Charlotte."
"Shame." Severus retreated to the bathroom, missing Hermione's wistful sigh. Maybe they'd be home in a few hours.
drakien and I have forced ourselves to come up with weekly fic goals. One of mine is to post a chapter a week. We'll see how well this works. Hope you like!
