Chapter 22 of 26
FicklePenA romantic drabble series based on Hermione Granger and Severus Snape’s relationship post-war.

“Checkmate.”
He huffed indignantly as she soundly trounced him at chess.
If Hermione thought that she was a bad player, then Severus was positively atrocious.
In her heart, she believed their lack of skill at the game was due to the pit-fall of being two logical, yet highly emotional people. It seemed that he too became attached to the marble pieces, in ways that other people could never understand.
Of course, she would never call Severus emotional to his face.
And although defeat in any game was a bitter pill to swallow, he always seemed to take his loss rather personally.
“It’s an idiotic game,” he declared resolutely, “for people with too much time on their hands.”
Seeing as he was bed-bound, Hermione didn’t point out the irony of his statement. She merely nodded in agreement and reminded herself never to play chess with the sour man again.

Yes, Miss Granger, do tempt him.
It would be a wonderful thing for him to lift his hand and gently touch the tip of her nose. Now we'll see if he accepts her challenge.
I love this story! Thank you for this update.
