99 Red Balloons

Authors Notes: I just had to do this, seeing as I heard "99 Red Balloons" on the radio this morning. It was fate. This was written for the "99 Challenge" for the GrangerSnape100 on LJ.

99 Red Balloons

"Hermione, change the station," Severus commanded, looking at her from the passenger seat of her car.

"But, Severus, I like this song," Hermione countered cheekily. She turned the dial, causing the music to get louder. "Ninety-nine red balloons floating in the summer sky! Panic bells, its red alert—"

"Stop!" Severus shouted, cutting her off. "You're going to give me a migraine."

Hermione laughed. "Don't be such a sourpuss, Severus. You were the one who wanted to drive to across Ireland the Muggle way."

"And I'm regretting it," he murmured, rubbing his temples.

Grinning, Hermione continued to sing the song, this time, in German.
