"We need to buy some furniture."

"Why?"

"Because, Severus. You own a table, a chair which is nearly falling apart, a handful of bookshelves, which are overly full. You need more, and besides, there's no where for me to sit."

"I have a chair."

"We can not both fit in that chair. No, I am not sitting on your lap. It'll break the chair."

"My lab has more than one seat."

"What if we ever want to entertain?"

"Why?" Hermione fought urge to roll her eyes. She had just moved into Severus' house. It was furnished...sort of. He'd made sure she had a bed, a dresser, and a bookshelf. The lab was fully stocked. She knew he didn't spend much time socializing, okay, make that no time, but looking around the empty house made her feel slightly sad.

"We are going furniture shopping and that's the end of it. Either you can come with me, and have some say, or I can pick out everything myself? I think red would look good in this room?" she smiled as he sighed in defeat.

"Very well. I will accompany you. If only to stop you from buying anything that remotely resembles Gryffindor."

"Perfect," she nodded as the pair left.

At the furniture store, Severus glared at the employees, preferring to look without anyone asking annoying questions.

"Two chairs, I think, a coffee table?"

"I do like that one," he stated pointing to a black coffee table. Hermione nodded slowly.

"So do I actually. How about a love seat to go against the North wall?"

"Fine. That one."

"Really? It doesn't look very comfortable."

"My point exactly." Hermoine rolled her eyes.

"But...it wouldn't be comfortable for us either, Severus," she commented with a smirk. Severus' eyes widened taking in Hermione's intent.

"Ahh, alright, which one do you like?"

"The green one," she said pointing to one. Severus walked over studying it. It was green, which was a plush. It would go well with the black table. It had rounded armrests, a scalloped back, and was quite soft to sit on.

"This one will do fine," he agreed. "Let's get these items home and test them out," he suggested meeting Hermione's eyes.

"Alright," she said paying for the couple's new furniture before shrinking it and putting it in her bag.
