New Bubble Bath
It was with a sigh of relief that Albus Dumbledore Apparated home from the Ministry. The day had been spent in meeting after meeting, discussing ways to answer Voldemort's threat. Most of the strategies suggested had ranged from absolutely ridiculous to only slightly absurd. In any case, very little progress had been made and Albus wasn't looking forward to the next round of meetings.
After disarming the wards that protected his summer home, Albus entered and re-armed them. You could never be too careful after all. He smiled as he took in his surroundings. The wood trim was solid oak, with the top half of the walls painted white and the lower half decorated with red-and-gold-striped wallpaper. At the top edge of the wallpaper, gold Gryffindor lions romped on a crimson background. The oak floors gleamed with polish, crimson and gold rugs of varying sizes and shapes islands of comfort. The furniture was deep red with gold threads adding sheen to each piece.
Sighing contentedly, he climbed the stairs, carpeted in crimson with gold along the sides, and made his way to the master bedroom. Entering, his booted feet sunk into the thick crimson carpet. His smile broadened when he found his wife waiting for him on the huge four-poster bed, wrapped in his favorite purple and gold dressing gown. "Hello, Minerva."
"Hello, Albus," she purred, rising and crossing the room to him. "How was your day?"
He sighed tiredly as his arms encircled her waist. "Long and tiring."
"Did you decide on a course of action?" Minerva sounded concerned as she made short work of his outer robe, sending it to fall at their feet in a pile of purple and silver.
He shook his head, taking comfort in holding her close. "No, we didn't. No one really had any good ideas."
"I'm sorry." She kissed his cheek. "Maybe a bubble bath will help? Molly recommended a new one that might help."
Albus smiled as he lifted head. "As long as you join me, my dear."
"Of course I will," she answered with a smile of her own. "It's ready and waiting for us."
He followed her to the bathroom, shedding his clothes as he went. When they entered, the room was full of steam and the large tub heaped high with bubbles. He took a deep breath. "Is that mint I smell?"
"Yes, Molly said she always feels better after taking a mint bubble bath." Minerva nodded as she removed the dressing gown and stepped into the tub. She held out her hands to him. "Come join me, Albus."
Taking her hands in his, he joined her and, together, they sank into the bubbles with a mutual sigh of pleasure. They relaxed together, each enjoying the closeness of the other. "Do you know where Molly got the bubble bath, Minerva? It's rather nice."
"I'm not sure, Albus, but I quite agree." Minerva sighed happily as she reclined against him.
As the water temperature cooled, Albus found that the tiredness that had been dogging him most of the day was gone; leaving behind a vigor and ardor he wished to share with Minerva. Smiling, he let his hands wander over the delightful contours of her body. Soft sighs and moans told him she was quite enjoying his attentions. Without further ado, he drained the tub, dried them off, and carried her into the bedroom.
Before he could take things much further, Minerva exclaimed, "I forgot the freezer door!"
"What about it?" he asked, but she'd already pulled on her dressing gown and dashed out of the room.
Chuckling to himself, he followed her from the bedroom, down the stairs, and into the kitchen. Deciding they could move to the bed later, he pulled Minerva into a passionate kiss.

I agree, kitchen tables can be fun, hehe....
