Cause & Effect
“Wife,” said Severus Snape one evening, “how did we end up with all this…?” He gestured towards the small mob of young men and women currently occupying their parlour.
Hermione pointed at one young woman. “Ministry broom closet,” she replied dryly.
Another girl. “Hogwarts broom closet.”
Two more. “The Burrows’ guest bathroom. Grimmauld Place kitchen.”
Still more girls. “A two-person broom- mid-flight. Headmaster’s desk. Minister’s desk. Hogwarts library.
“Is that a satisfactory explanation?” Hermione finished archly.
Severus considered her thoughtfully. “Perhaps, my love, we should be utterly mundane and try our bedroom this time,” he suggested.
Hermione smiled… and Apparated.

An Owl-Note
Dear Father,
- Would you please be so kind as to desist in frightening off every single boyfriend I have? The pool of candidates is becoming woefully small- a situation I do not appreciate.
Antonia.
My dearest Antonia,
- No. Terrifying your young men is my privilege and my pleasure as your father. After all, if he cannot withstand ten minutes with me, I would hardly expect him to be able to handle you for more than a month-or vice-versa.
Besides, would you rather your mother handled these affairs?
Your father.
Father-
- Point conceded.
