Part 18

Hermione woke snuggled into her pillow in a cocoon of warmth. She tensed as she realized her pillow had a heart beat. It took a moment for her to remember the night before. Blushing, she slowly looked up into her husbands eyes.

Albus smiled, "Did you sleep well."

She didn't know how but she could feel her blush deepened. She could then feel her husband chuckle.

Biting her lip, she sat up and turned to get out of the bed.

"Hermione, I did not mean to offend you," said Albus.

She shook her head, "You haven't. I …, I just can't think in the morning. Not till after my shower and cup of tea. I'm sorry."

"Don't be, you are not a morning person while I am. We shall simply become accustomed to it." Albus said in relief. "I will order breakfast while you take care of your morning rituals. But might I recommend a bath instead of a shower. I have heard it will help."

Hermione nodded and stood from the bed. She looked around the room. There were no doors. She turned towards Albus with a questioning look, "Were is the bathroom?"

Albus smiled getting out of bed. Hermione blushed again at the sight of her nude husband. She heard him chuckle as he joined her. "There is only one door," Albus said, "But it leads to every room in our quarters. This book case here is were the door is." He took her right hand in his and placed it at waist level on the fair left of the book case. "Say the name of the room and twist your hand as if you were holding a door knob." He said Master-bath and twisted their hands and the book case swung outwards leading into a beautiful and large bathroom.
