*Soft humming and the sound of bare feet on a wood floor drift into the bedroom. A moment later Nymphadora appears, wearing a black button-down shirt a few sizes too big. She carries a plate of apples with peanut butter, and as she walks into the room, two glasses of milk obediently float behind.*

She's still asleep. Not for long, though -- she's doing that thing with her foot -- so I fixed her a snack so it'd be ready. And then I got hungry, too.

*Grinning, Nymphadora hands Bernard the plate of apples and climbs into bed beside him, burrowing under the covers before plucking the glasses out of the air and handing him one.*

*A grin*

Oh, yeah.

[clumsy_auror]

Sorry 'bout that. My Banishing Spells aren't usually quite so enthusiastic.

*With a grin, she pulls on her own jeans and rolls up the cuffs of the button-down.*

*He pulls his trousers on and stands up, putting his arms around her.*

Yeah, well.

*A kiss to her neck*

Enthusiasm in general is nothing new, so it shouldn't come as a surprise.

*Grinning, she hugs him tightly and kisses his cheek.*

No, I suppose not.

*her eyes slide closed for a moment*

Love you.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

I love you too.

*He tangles his fingers in her hair and kisses her for a long moment, until a more insistent "Ber'd!" echoes from Sunny's direction.*

I'll say this for her. She knows what she wants.

[clumsy_auror]

That she does. A girl after my own heart.

*she pecks his cheek*

You get the baby, I'll get the snack.

*A nuzzle to the cheek, and he's off in the other room.

After a minute, brief snatches of sleepy conversation drift into the bedroom. "--'s my big girl? Oof, I think you got bigger while you were gone." "Ber'd, Suh-nee up! Tom up!" "Did you? Was it on a broom?" "Yes!" "Groovy."*

*Nymphadora leans against the doorway for a moment, just listening to them together, and smiles.

Then she pushes herself away from the doorframe and walks to the kitchen to wait for them.*
