Summary: The dangers of explaining too much to the wee ones.

~*~

It had been a long day, but Hermione thought it was worth the effort working through the unfamiliar decorating Charms to see the look of delight on baby Rose’s face.

Who knew how much they could understand or remember at this age? But her daughter goggled from her bouncy chair at the twinkling fairy-lights and stared raptly at the colorful Christmas tree as Hermione explained a bit of the history and meaning behind it all.

Funny how taken she is with even the less colorful greenery. Perhaps Herbology will be her thing when she gets older.

The door opened, and the tangy smell of take-away curry filled the cozy home Spinner’s End had become. As she stood and turned to greet him, Severus abruptly spun her into an embrace, his lips warm and spicy against hers, his tongue, as it snaked into her mouth, confirming that he’d sampled dinner on the way home. Her toes curled as their tongues danced in familiar patterns, and she barely stopped herself from tearing into his robes, only just remembering they weren’t entirely alone.

“Not that I mind,” she murmured breathily, “but what brought that on?”

“As if you didn’t know,” he replied with a smirk.

The sound of small hands clapping drew her eyes back to the bouncy chair, where Rose beamed angelically at them both.

“What do you mean?” she asked, turning back to him.

“You mean to say you didn’t Charm this to hover over you until I’d got home?” he asked, pointing to the sprig of mistletoe above her head.

She looked up at it and then over to her gleeful daughter, who clearly understood quite a bit more than she’d thought.

“No,” she replied, “I believe that was Mummy’s little helper.”

	One of my New Year's Resolutions is to actually GET Snermione. Not get into. Just GET, to start with. This is g..... GOO.... This Snermione drabble is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... sigh ~~Acceptable.~~ Exceeds Expectations. (O's are for Snarry; just as, for you, they stand for YOUR OTP.^^) Because the WORST fic I have EVER read would have to be DEATHLY HALLOWS! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hee! I did warn for the gooey fluff. g Thanks for reading, despite it not being Snarry! (Generally I'm as bad as Hermione about grades, but all things considered, I'm pleased with the E. g) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

LOL Not gooey. (but I see where you'd get that impression from. Damn online, faceless communication.)

...I find it hard to like a fic that doesn't end with glompy happy Snarry.

I was attempting to say that your fic s GOO-. It's GOO-. *frustrated* IT'S THE OPPOSITE OF BAD. What's that word? 4 letters? Two o's? G--D? Yes.

I must be the biggest 5-year-old in existence. XP
