Happy Valentine's Day

Hermione stretched and yawned as she woke up to the smell of freshly made coffee and something burning.

That could only mean one thing – that it was Valentine's Day, the only day of the year that her husband made any effort at all to prepare a meal, and every year it was steadily getting worse. She wouldn't be surprised at all if he managed to set the house on fire this year after the near miss from the year before.

She turned over on to her side a saw an envelope sitting on the chest of drawers with her name written on it in his trademark scruffy handwriting.

Hermione picked the envelope up and carefully removed the card.

On the front was an enchanted image of an otter receiving a bunch of flowers from another otter, and then hugging it tightly. It warmed her heart to see a small reference to her patronus.

Upon opening the card she found that he had written her a short essay and a small smile crept onto her face.

My darling Hermione,

Every day that you are in my life is one more than I ever thought you would be in it.

Every morning when I wake up I thank my lucky stars that you gave me a chance, especially after the way I used to treat you.

I still don't know why you put up with me some days, but I'm glad that you do. My life is so much better for having you in it.

I know I don't tell you this enough, but I love you more than life itself. You make my world a brighter and better place, and you make me want to be a better man.

Happy Valentine's Day sweetheart.

I love you

Your Graham

She laughed lightly to herself as she padded over towards the door and grabbed her dressing gown, before walking downstairs to join her boyfriend.

She wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed him on the collarbone.

"Thank you for my card Graham, I loved it," she whispered as she rested her chin on his broad shoulder. "Do you want any help?"

Her husband whipped around quickly and said, "Absolutely not Mrs Montague. I'm going to treat you like a princess today so take a seat at the table and I'll bring you breakfast."

Hermione nodded her head warily and walked through the glass door that separated the kitchen from the dining room. As she sat down she wondered what culinary 'treat' her husband would bring her. She knew for a fact that whatever it was it would surely be burnt to a crisp.

"Ouch shit!" she heard him exclaim from the kitchen.

"Are you sure you don't want any help honey, it wouldn't be any problem at all," Hermione called from the dining room.

"No, everything's good in here, no fire at all love," he answered, shortly followed by the fire alarm sounding.

Hermione laughed to herself as she stood up and walked towards the kitchen, curious as to just what her husband had managed to set alight.
