"—Ruddy…fussing…Bludgers!"
Hermione looked up from the paper she was grading. Did she just hear...?
"Daddy, are you alright?"
"No, sweetie, Daddy is NOT alright!"
Little feet pattered out of the family room into the study. Hermione quickly quashed the urge to smile, and adopted a suitably concerned look.
“Mummy! Daddy hurt his thumb while trying to hang my drawing!”
Rising, she let her daughter tug her into the next room, where her husband, Severus, was trying valiantly not to swear. “Why not throw in an ‘Oh fudge!’ while you’re at it?”
“--Because politics are even more obscene!”
