The silver-chased coffin was lowered into the grave with great ceremony. Though, while solemn and respectful, few people expressed any sorrow as Severus Snape was buried.
"Still think I'm a vampire, do they? I suppose I should be grateful I wasn't festooned with garlic wreaths." Hermione stifled an exclamation at the voice that murmured near her ear.
"The Order of Merlin's a nice touch, though," Snape's ghost continued meditatively. "No more than I deserve, of course."
"What brings you to me, Professor?" Hermione queried, having regained her composure.
There was a pause. "You're the only one actually grieving, Miss Granger."
