Gone
There was no gasp for life. No shudder. Not even a tremble. His lips just parted as he let out one final soft sigh. Had his hand not loosened on hers Hermione would not have realized that she had just witnessed her husbands last moment.
Severus was just lying there, as he had for many days now, looking as though he was enjoying a particularly pleasant dream.
For Hermione it was a nightmare. He was really gone and there was nothing to be done. She wanted to scream, wail and rage at the world…. she bowed her head and wept.
