"We'll just be endlessly suffering," Lily laughed, bringing her plate over to the sink and hesitating to hand it to him. Scorpius had already cooked the meal, and now he was doing the dishes. It made her feel rather useless, and as though she was just letting him do everything which wasn't her at all. But it would probably be awkward if she insisted on washing her own plate, so she handed it over and quietly resolved that she would make dinner and do the dishes on another night.
"Do you have work in the morning?" Lily asked, realizing that they both had to return to their normal lives come tomorrow. She would have to go back to writing questions and putting together practice exams, and possibly even go over old questions to see if there was any merit in them. The written grading was remarkably tedious, but it was all just a stepping stone to grading the practical portion of the OWLs and NEWTs.
