Hermione listened as Molly described the five Prewett gifts.
“Although you‘re much like a daughter to me, I didn’t think you needed any of the gifts. I would be happy to teach you the magic playpen if Severus changes his mind about fatherhood.”
Hermione blushed. “I’ll keep that in mind. But, Ginnny, what went wrong?”
“Mum hasn’t taught me the charms yet, and I’d always thought you’d be my sister. Ever since we were at Hogwarts together, I knew the anniversary charm would be one of Mum’s gifts to you. Ron would have needed it, but when he was killed…”
~~~
Hermione placed a hand on Ginny’s shoulder. Although she missed Ron, too, she silently thanked whatever grace had led her instead to Severus.
Ginny blinked hard. “When Mum said you weren’t getting any of the gifts, I got the twins to help me design a charm from scratch. I guess instead of ‘never forgetting,’ we made it so he would ‘always remember’ to give you a happy anniversary. I don’t remember there being a food element to it, but with them you never know.”
“Molly, can you help us reverse this?”
“If not, we’ll make a trip to Diagon Alley.”
~~~
In a candlelit room deep within Hogwarts, Severus poured after-dinner drinks for himself and his bride. “Leave it to a crew of bumbling Gryffindors to ruin my honeymoon.”
Hermione made a noise of indignation that she didn’t quite feel as she rose from her chair and situated herself on her husband’s lap. “It will only take one Gryffindor to make your honeymoon all right again.”
The next morning, she awoke to feel large hands caressing her body. “Are you okay, Severus?”
“Am I still on my honeymoon, Hermione?”
She rolled over to kiss him, then whispered, “Yes.”
“Then I’m perfect.”
