Where There’s Smoke

~

“Is something burning?”

Remus looked up, startled. “I forgot the eggs!”

Remus ran, Severus following more sedately, only to find him gingerly carrying a pan towards the sink. Black smoke was rising from it.

“Thank Merlin for your acute sense of smell.” Remus coughed as he disposed of it.

Severus shook his head. “My sense of smell is terrible,” he admitted. “Years of exploding potions, I’m afraid. I saw smoke. What about your werewolf senses...”

Remus smiled sheepishly. “That’s a myth,” he said. “I’m no better at smelling than anyone else.”

Severus sighed. “Best we put in smoke detectors, then.”

Hahahaha! OMG, can you imagine? Heck, if the mirrors talk then the smoke detectors definitely should, too... *snert* I'm guessing it'd have a smoky voice... *giggles*
Thank, my dear!

Aaarrgghhh!

Would an old house (like 12 Grimmauld Place) have SENILE house-hold appliances like mirrors, smoke-detectors etc? *fights off insane plot-bunny*
