A Gesture of Understanding :: Elf Made Wine
Severus opened his large, red wood door to reveal a shivering and rosy Hermione.
“Hello?”
She smiled, seeing that she had confused him, and thrust out a bottle of wine. “It’s not much, but…Happy Christmas, Severus.”
“Happy Christmas? You know, I don’t believe I have received a Christmas present from anyone other than Albus in the past thirty years?”
“Yeah. I know.” She winked and sauntered off down his snowy driveway. Severus closed the door and surveyed the bottle. Elf made. He would have to see if her driveway needed shoveling tomorrow. And he would do it without magic, too.
Surprise! :: Family Visit
The evening had died down, as had the fire. Severus and Hermione occupied one couch, their son, Leo on the floor asleep. Mr. and Mrs. Granger had set themselves on the other couch. All awake were staring into the fire.
“Well, this has been a wonderful evening,” Severus remarked.
“And Leonardo had been so intent on staying home with Crookshanks.”
“Well, it’s a good thing you came. Now I can tell you face-to-face. Hermione, you’re going to be a big sister!” Saying so, her mother looked between her husband’s glowing face and her daughter’s shocked expression.
“Congratulations,” she choked out.
An Update :: First Kiss
Spoilers for DH.
“Oh, a letter from Juliet,” Hermione said, sifting through the morning post. Severus leaned over to read it, but he did not succeed and waited for Hermione to report. Their daughter was fifteen now and the boys were unyieldingly aware of her. Tapping the table impatiently, he let his eggs get cold.
Finally, his wife gave him the news he had been dreading since Juliet was born.
“She got her first kiss,” Hermione whispered.
“What?!” Severus nearly flipped the table over. “By whom?!”
Hermione laughed softly. “None other than Scorpius Malfoy. Oh, the irony.”
He most certainly expected an explanation.
Hermione's Little Secret :: Prank
“What did I do as a child?”
“Well, yes. I told you what I did to entertain myself, it’s only fair you do the same.”
“Um…I had sleepovers, and er…read.”
“I could have discerned as much years ago. Tell me something I don’t know.”
“Imedprnkcolds.”
“Pardon?”
“I made prank…calls. Telephone calls?”
She watched his eyebrows furrow and offered a quick explanation, her cheeks reddening with embarrassment. Hermione Granger, not so goody-two-shoes after all?
“Well, well, looks like you are a bit of a Slytherin after all.” Severus Snape had a very good laugh over that one for a long time.
Peeping Tom :: Snape’s Pensieve
Spoilers for DH.
A curtain was lifted away from the window; Hermione saw that it was burgundy. Across the way was another window, the shades lifted from the glass. Red hair swished against a dark purple t-shirt. Arms crossed, the shirt was removed. The form proved the figure to be a girl, however, she was not wearing a bra. Severus’ grip on the window sill tightened. The girl stretched her arms, turned to Severus, blushed, squealed, pulled the shades.
A pull of naseua and she laughed. “Severus Snape, you are such a peeping tom!”
She had never seen him blush so deeply before.
