He didn’t wake suddenly; his consciousness slowly registered the low muttering was not part of some restless dream. His initial anxiety segued into concern as the fogginess of sleep lifted -- leaving him fully awake at what was probably an inhuman hour of the night.
He toyed with the idea of casting Silencio, but only momentarily. Sighing, he left the warm bed and made his way toward the source of the sounds.
“Hermione,” he spoke softly so as not to startle her.
Not having spoken quite softly enough, his wife jumped.
“Oh! Severus – did I wake you?”
“You realize this is quite ridiculous, don’t you?”
“I know. But I promised Luna that I’d have it finished before Halloween, and I haven’t written anything!”
What had she been thinking, offering to write a love story? Hermione could be described in many ways, but romantic…?
Severus considered his bride as she Incendio’ed another parchment and was hit sudden inspiration.
He led a reluctant Hermione back to bed, suggesting she should write what she knew.
“I don’t know anything …”
He silenced her with a kiss and proceeded to remind Hermione what she did know.
The next morning, the story practically wrote itself.
Note: mmyrtle wanted me to send her apologies to the recipient as she thinks that this is not her best work. As mod I'm using my size 5 hobnails to wade in and tell her that she's talking crap and that I (and I'm sure many others) wished my worst work was this good. ;-P
