"You've been avoiding me," Dominique said the moment Hermione flicked on the light to her flat. She'd been sitting, alone, and waiting for over an hour for her to come home and confront her.

"Dominique!" Hermione gasped, her hand raising to her throat where she rested it as she tried to calm herself. "You scared me."

"Did I?" she asked, tilting her head to the side and looking at the older witch with a calculating gaze.

Hermione felt like she was a little rabbit being stalked by a fox.

"What are you doing here?" she asked instead, placing her bag and keys on the table and taking her coat off. "I don't recall giving you permission."

"I don't care. You've been avoiding me and I want to know why."

"I haven't been avoiding you," Hermione argued, folding her coat over the back of an armchair. "That's preposterous."

"What's preposterous is that you're lying to my face. We both know that you've been doing it and I want to know why. Now."

"I don't-"

"Hermione!" Dominque shrieked, interrupting her. She lost her cool composure for a moment, startling Hermione. "Please."

"We can't do this," she murmured almost silently after a few moments. "I can't do this."

"We can," Dominique disagreed. "You can."

"I'm old enough to be your mother!" she hissed, a blush gracing her cheeks with clashed horribly with the lavender robes she was wearing. "Hell, I was your Auntie at one point."

"But you're not now," Dominque whispered, stepping closer into Hermione's personal space. She found it an achievement when she didn't step away. "Do you want to hear a story?"

Hermione blinked at the sudden subject change. "Pardon?"

"Do you want to hear a story?" she repeated. "It's short," she promised.

"Erm... okay?"

"It's my six word love story: I can't imagine life without you."

"Hermione groaned and ran a hand through her hair. "Dom, you're not making this situation any easier."

"I wasn't planning to."

They stared at each for a few moments, both of them equal in height, despite their age gap. Hermione groaned again, a louder sound that sounded more of resignation than anything else.

"I'm so going to hell for this," she mumbled to herself before grabbing the younger witch and pulling her into a searing kiss. She mentally rolled her eyes at the smug grin she felt against her lips.
