Goodnight Sweetheart
I’ve found this on my online drive - apparently I wrote it in 2011, but I don’t recall writing it! I thought I’d post it up here for you to enjoy! Lisa x
I was watching HBP and this line stuck out:
“I like a nice chat before I go to bed. Now all you do is read that bloody book.” (Ron, HBP movie)
And I just couldn’t let it go without doing something with it! This is the result, enjoy!
Hermione stepped out of the hot shower and onto the cold bathroom floor. Drying herself off quickly in an attempt to stay warm she grabbed her pyjamas from the radiator where she had set them to warm and nipped across the landing quickly and into bed in record time.
After a long and stressful week in the office she was looking forward to the weekend. It was all planned out. Each day was carefully and specifically set aside for just one activity: sleep.
Curling in next to her husband she settled in quickly.
“How was your day sweetheart?”
It was dark. If Ron had seen the look on Hermione’s face as she glared at him, he’d have run for the hills.
“It was fairly quiet in the office today.” He continued, oblivious. “Gets kinda boring though. Next week should pick up, we’re starting the preparations for the World Cup; you know scouting locations and that. Looking forward to it actually. We’re all going to have to be on duty for the matches, I’m hoping I’ll get at least one game working in the stadium. You know? Just so I can say I was there.”
Hermione tried her best to tune him out, but somehow his voice kept wheedling its way around her barriers.
“I can’t believe Harry and Ginny are going to be parents in less than a month. Harry still looks really calm, I keep expecting him to suddenly panic. I kinda hope he does to be honest, I bet George five Galleons. Do you think it’s a boy or a girl? I don’t know what they’re thinking leaving it until the day, I’d want to know. What names do you think they have lined up? Do you think they’ll call it - “
“Ronald?” Hermione interrupted.
“Yeah, sweetheart?” Ron had missed her tone, yet again.
“Shut up!”
