Wrapping Up

Hermione stood by Severus' counter sipping some wine. She was reflecting on the day and all its unexpected revelations while Severus moved gracefully around the kitchen. He was smirking to himself as Hermione tried, and failed, to guess his secret to success.

When she suddenly went quiet, he turned around to find a faraway look in her eyes.

"Hermione?" He set down the dish towel and walked over to her. "Are you alright?"

"What? Oh yes, I'm fine." Hermione blinked, a smirk appearing. She ran her finger lightly over his chest.

"I was just thinking… could we skip to dessert?"
