Happy Birthday, Severus
Hermione paused, lost in thought as she rechecked her list. “One plug, one whip, no, better make that two whips. Oh, and clamps, how could I forget clamps? I wonder if he needs a collar?”
Clamps? Severus frowned. He knew Hermione was planning something special for his birthday, but this seemed a bit much, especially since they hadn’t really talked about their sexual limits, their relationship being too new to push those boundaries yet. Not that he was objecting, a bit of play did spice things up. But were the toys for him… or for her? That was the question.
“That’s an interesting list you’re composing.”
Startled, Hermione jumped as Severus walked into the kitchen. “Hi, I didn’t hear you come in.”
“Indeed.” He nodded toward her parchment. “Planning something special for my birthday?”
Hermione looked at the parchment and started to laugh. “This is not for your birthday, these are supplies my dad asked me to pick up before I stop over this weekend.”
“Supplies?”
“Electrical supplies. He wants to do a few repairs around the house; a plug for the lamp in his den and an electrical whip and clamps to fix the overhead light in the kitchen.”
“What about the collar?”
“For his drill.”
Awkwardly, Severus nodded. “I thought...”
“I know what you thought.” Hermione was amused to see the wizard blush. “ Dad asked me to pick up a few things when I mentioned I was planning to stop at B&Q and pick up a few plants for their back garden.”
“Yes, well, B&Q should have everything you need.”
“Definitely.” Casually, Hermione pulled a glossy catalog from her bag and set it on the table. The title, printed in flashing red letters read, Whips, Chains, and Toys, Oh My! “Your birthday present, I ordered from here.”
A/N: For those this side of the pond: B&Q in England is the equivalent of Home Depot here.

This is my favourite ofthe four drabbles, it flows so naturally, I loved the comments from "The Boys" and Ginny, and the way they had eyes only for eachother, and had no idea of the stir they were causing.
Oh my indeed, and she made Severus blush, bonus.
Well now, THAT'S got him thinking. 
I was so pleased to see your name on a new story again, and you haven't lost your sweet and gentle touch, this was lovely, thank you. 
Welcome Back
The cutest and sweetest way to end this set of drabbles and begin my day. Thank you so much for the fun!
A wonderful selection! Thanks :)
Thank you! After having a madhouse at work and before having do dash cooking and tutoring my son for a science paper I definitely needed your story to pick me up.

Lovely, as always. :)
Very clever! My cat won't let me type more.
Exceptional answer, Hermione!!! Now, maybe he'll stop next time even if he doesn't really need anything. Next time you see him tell him you are disapointed he didn't ask you to come. This is why I'm in trouble at work all the time. I say stuff like this and forget to filter. Damn it! How does one develope internal filters after they are a grandma? In fact, the older I get the worse I am. Is this part of senior dementia? I put my foot in it big time at a staff meeting yesterday. Anyone have a suggestion? Then, I'm like, "Michelle, why did you let me say that?" 
to the person next to me as soon as it was out of my mouth. Some of my coworkers do try to protect me from my self if they can catch me in time. Then, I said "I was just kidding" 
to my boss. But it was too late. She knew I wasn't. It's an awful problem and recurrent. I don't know what to do? It's as if allergy medicine is truth serum or something. Write a drabble about that! Snape doesn't say things like, "... Actually, I wish you were all dead" at staff meetings even though he's thinking it.
Sometimes dead seems better than dealing with life, yes? I love sleeping. It's kind of like being dead without the commitment. (Not original, but I agree whole hartedly.) I liked this drabble and I'm glad you are back.
