Best Way To End A Stressful Day
Hermione closed the front door behind her and then leant against it with a heavy sigh.
The high flying head of department had just had the day from hell at work, with one problem after another coming up. Sometimes she truly thought she was the only one holding the department together.
She kicked off her shoes and placed them in the small cupboard to the right of the door, and padded towards the kitchen to pour herself a glass of orange juice.
Not a sound could be heard in the apartment, aside from the quiet sips Hermione was taking of her drink.
The young witch found this to be quite odd, especially since she was quite sure that her significant other had left work much earlier than she had.
Almost as soon as she had settled down on the couch, Hermione heard a loud smash come from the somewhere within the vicinity of the bathroom.
Hermione pulled her wand out and slowly headed towards the bathroom. The witch wasn't sure what she was going to find there, all she knew was that there was an intruder in her apartment.
She pushed the door to the bathroom open, and the sight that greeted her made the workaholic lower her wand.
Before her very eyes was a freshly drawn bubble bath with dozens of candles and rose petals surrounding it. The cherry on top of the cake for Hermione was the certain minister was already laying in it with a seductive smile on his face.
"Fancy joining me?" Rufus asked, with a come hither look on his face as he moved his hand slowly through the water.
The witch nodded her head, and slowly shed her clothes before joining her boyfriend in the bath.
The two enjoyed their bath, each one taking their time to wash the other with the soft, yellow sponge.
By the time they had finished nearly all the bubbles had disappeared, and the water was cold as ice.
As they clambered out of the bathtub, Hermione thanked her boyfriend for the thoughtful gesture, stating that it had been the best way to end a stressful day.
