Teacher and Student - Drabble

Aug 24, 2009 20:00

I woke up in the middle of the night, and suddenly had the idea for this drabble. I was wanting to post another one for the Stain-Challenge over at grangersnape100 anyway, but completely forgot about doing so. Until, yeah, last night.

Teacher and Student

"Make sure you cut them with the grain, not against it," Snape muttered as he adjusted the flame, "I don't want another stain on the table."

The girl nodded and turned the roots.

"Now... tell me why you have to use a copper knife for Potentilla and not a silver one?" he asked looking over to her.

She had to think a moment for the right answer, chewing her bottom lip. Snape couldn't suppress a soft chuckle - she was so much like her mother.

Hermione, watching them from the door, felt her heart warm at the sight. Teacher for life.

A/N: Lip-chewing is baaad (in every sense, but especially in relation to Hermione)... but I couldn't resist.
