“But that’s the one you told me to pull!” Rose released the lever, and it snapped back. As the TARDIS listed sideways and righted itself, she grabbed onto the nearest thing, which was unfortunately another lever.
“Nonono, don’t!”
It wasn’t quite as bad as dangling in the sky during the London Blitz, but hanging upside down in the TARDIS wasn’t exactly fun either.
“Doctor!”
A hand closed over hers, and suddenly everything was right side up. Except her, of course.
“Next time,” he said, helping her up, “try the round-handled lever.”
Dusting herself off, Rose glared at the brown-handled one.
Title: Hermione’s Healing
Fandom: Harry Potter
Character(s)/Pairing: Severus Snape/Hermione Granger (not necessarily romantic)
Rating: G
A/N: Happy birthday, laiksmarei! You asked for a glimpse of life after Hermione’s Search, and here it is. While it insisted on going to double drabble length, it is still definitely just a glimpse, but I hope it conveys something of what has happened in the intervening years and that you enjoy it!
A rapping at the door shook Hermione out of her near-ecstasy of Arithmantic calculations. So late already?
“Again?” Severus asked with a smirk as she let him in, the warm scent of fresh scones wafting from the bag he held.
“You know how it is with research.” A negligent flick of her wand sent parchments from table to shelf, making room for their tea, which Severus set about making.
“And?”
“I almost had it. The key seems to be based on the Fibonacci sequence.”
Severus inclined his head. “That would explain why it has remained undiscovered thus far.”
Hermione rolled her eyes. Wizarding prejudice! The few who didn’t disdain all things Muggle were absurdly fascinated and still missed such important things. Her mind tried and failed to shy away from thoughts of her father-in-law. Even after five years, it took so little to resharpen her muted pain. Arthur led to Ron led to Rose led to Hugo.
A hand rested on her shoulder, and she allowed herself to be enfolded in comforting arms until the kettle whistled.
“When do you expect to be ready to publish?”
She smiled as she answered, the icy knife in her heart fading once again.
