ANs: Witness what happens when I entertain myself during class! Anyhow, 'Talks with Ghosts' looks like it's going to turn into a series of linked stand-alone drabbles (barring 3v1l serial plot bunnies). So, while you don't need to, here's the original 'Talks with Ghosts'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was too damn hot.
Hermione hated this hideous period of summer with its unrelenting sun and stifling blanket of humid air. And being forced to spend it running after two disgustingly energetic children... All she wanted now was to crawl out of these sticky, muffling layers of skin and muscle. Just bones would be so much cooler!
A startlingly freezing chill at her neck and shoulders caused her to groan with relief. "Oh, god..."
"Wrong entity, Hermione," came the dry response. Hermione emitted a small shriek of surprise. This feeling, this heavenly, marvelous coolness - was coming from Severus Snape's ghostly hands.
