Living with Augustus was too perfect. He was always attentive. There was raucous laughter and passionate moaning filling the silences. It was all too easy for Hermione to forget the outside world when she was inside his home. As the weather continued to warm and they braved the outdoors for long walks on the beach, she could almost imagine that they would be able to sustain their current lifestyle for the rest of their lives. No one would bother them. Neither of them would ever have to worry about coming face to face with their spouses again. Their children not only didn't matter, they didn't exist.
