“You don’t really believe that?”
“Of course I do. It’s the way of the world.”
“It’s archaic, no matter which way the world goes.”
“Hermione, I did not make the rules, but you must admit that it is far more in character for you to make the tea, rather than me. You make it every other night, admit it.”
“I admit nothing.”
“Now you’re just being stubborn. It is as it always has been, and nothing you or I decide will change that.”
“I still don’t like it.”
“Would you prefer me to play ‘mother’ for a change?”
“That’s not funny, Severus.”
“It’s just a pot of tea, nothing to fret over.”
“You do remember telling me the other day that the sofa seemed remarkably comfortable, almost good enough to sleep on.”
“And if I did?”
“You’re soon going to find out if you keep teasing. Don’t try and look innocent - it doesn’t work.”
“Hmph! I still cannot understand how you making the tea has suddenly morphed into the absurd idea that it diminishes your rights as a witch?”

“I haven’t finished dinner and you have!”
“So?”
“So, why don’t you get up and make the tea? It’s unnerving to have you sitting there watching me eat.”
“I like watching you eat. Aside from that, it’s much more fun to sit here, and bait you. You do look adorable when you’re furious, and you never cease to bite back.”
“Hmm…I’m not sure that adorable is the word that springs to mind when I describe you, Severus.”
“Of course not. Men aren’t adorable, Hermione. It’s an unwritten rule that categorically states that only women can be adorable.”

“So, as I’m adorable, does that mean you’re going to get up and make the tea?”
“Suddenly, tea isn’t the most prominent thing at the forefront of my mind, if you catch my drift?”
“Really?”
“Yes, really. Do I need to spell it out?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about, but spelling it out might just be quite good fun.”
“I don’t do fun, Hermione. Perish the thought.”
“You do realise that you’re adorable when you’re furious, don’t you Severus?”
