25.
He stood glowering at the girl… no, woman, who had the audacity to tell him to get on with his life. Yet he appreciated the irony, considering he had just been telling her to get on with hers.
“Perhaps you are right and we should both take a page from each other’s books and get off the pot, so to speak.”
Hermione was still crouched on the wall and he wondered if she was still thinking about ending it all.
“So, Ms. Granger, what do you think? Should we take advantage of our positions as heroes of the wizarding world?
26.
Hermione looked over the edge as she tried to decide what she really wanted for her life. Her true friends had passed on; dying for a cause they believed in and for her. How can I throw such a gift away? Looking back over at Snape, she wished she could read the darkness in his eyes.
“It’s something to consider I imagine. But what about you? What are you going to do? There is no need for you to remain here if you don’t want to be. The students here must still be trying. I doubt your temper has improved.”

Snape just crossed his arms and scowled at her. “Still the know-it-all I see. Pity, I had hoped that at least that much would have changed since you grew up.” Immediately, he wished he could take back the harsh words as he watched with hidden horror-Hermione moved back, further out to the ledge. A stone lost.
Inwardly, he cursed his caustic nature. I doubt insulting a person considering suicide is considered good form. Gritting his teeth, he wondered how he was going to get her confidence back. Hermione looked over the edge wistfully and hummed with a sing-song voice.

“It would be easier for both of us if I jumped. You’re right, of course. I haven’t changed; I am still the bushy haired know-it-all. The only thing that keeps me from being bucktoothed is that I let Madam Pomfrey fix them.” Her voice flattened out, sounding dead.
“Leave, Snape. You tried your best, but managed to only prove their point. I am of no use to anyone anymore. I don’t even have friends who will defend me.” She sighed, feeling the last of her hope seep away. Severus was shocked at the power his words still had on her.
