Moonlight threw an icy blue shroud over the forest. Snape stood listening to the distant sounds of battle. In his head, a voice- her voice.
"Wand at the ready," whispered his memory. He pulled out his moonlit wand.
"Cast a Protego?" He detected gentle humor in her question. Throughout the long war against Voldemort, they had always protected each other, never themselves. Sentiment had actually served them well- until the last …
"No. There's no one left to protect." He stared straight ahead. "I miss you, Hermione," he breathed.
"One day soon," she sighed.
"Very soon." He strode into the fray.
