Hermione bleeds. It is a clockwork loss for a woman of metal and worry, struck from a tally of cycles yet to come. And it is more painful than anything she can imagine, ripping at her insides with the sharpened knife of biology. Another lost chance to create a carbon copy of herself.
She wonders if Severus knows. If he, too, feels loss for something he never wanted.
The taste of medicine, white and viscous, hits her tongue. She shudders with something that isn’t quite pleasure. It’s on his lips as she kisses him, and it is addictive.
Like him.
