Prompt: HG/SS, in which one of the pair discovers that the other has an unusual talent.
Word count: 100 on the nose. After careful weeding.
Rating: G

Severus knew that a talent for potions didn't mean a talent for cooking, but he refused to admit it. Nevertheless, he was unable to make a sauce that didn't have lumps in it.

Hermione laughed as he counted how many times he stirred, but she stopped when she spotted the tongue poking out of his mouth in concentration.

"Do that again!"

"Do what?"

"That thing. With your tongue."

"What, this?"

"How do you DO that?"

Severus smirked and went back to stirring.

Half an hour later, he spotted his wife in front of the mirror trying to roll her tongue.

~snort~ Ha, that really amused me. Because Hermione wouldn't let herself be beaten, oh no.

[moreteadk]

At least Severus got one up on her. He might not be able to make a sauce as good as hers, but he can roll his tongue. :p

*amused*
That's definatley not what most people would have xpected from that prompt but it's really good ^.^

[moreteadk]

*smirk* It was the first thing that popped into my head... Which is odd because I don't have the most virtuous of brains...

If Hermione had done her research, she would have known it was genetic and that she would never be able to if she couldn't already. =)

[moreteadk]

Or maybe it just bugs her enough that she can't do it that she's ignoring that fact, hoping that she's able to trigger some rogue genes or something. :p

Awww, they're cute together!

[moreteadk]

I thought so too. :)

[hibernater]

Cute. How characteristic of Hermione to want to do it too :)

[moreteadk]

It is, isn't it? I considered making it the other way around, with Hermione doing something Mugglish, but it wouldn't bother Severus as much that he couldn't do it. :)
