Perfectly Alone
Chapter 2 of 2
broomclosetravenclawWritten for the Potter Place Saturday Night chat challenge: Part Two of SS/HG, wedding night--The Morning After--mentioning of body parts is forbidden.
The soft glow of sunlight filtered in through the sheer curtains. Hermione could feel the warmth of her beloved, warmer than any sunlight, curled tightly behind her. She reached back for him to wrap him more fully around herself. Her movements aroused him, and he willingly followed her lead. Their bodies pushed into each other, wrapped around each other until they found their rhythm, matched by their need. The sound of his breathing filled the space around them—filled the void she suddenly missed.
Then, it was only her own breath she could hear—raspy, his name riding on the whisper. “Severus!”

Hermione awoke with his name on her lips. The previous day came flooding back to her as the storm raged outside. The pounding of the rain filled the silence; a soft glow from the candle stubs, pooled in their own wax, barely lit the room.
Her light was gone, leaving nothing but a cold shell. Snape was gone and she was perfectly alone.
A/N: Thanks to Lady_Karelia for looking over this for me.

*Sigh* I like it, it makes me very sad, but I still like it. However, I need to go find something very fluffy now. I was hoping it was going to be a dream, drat!Stef 
This is so terribly sad. Surely Severus would not have let himself get caught up in a situation like that. *sniff*I want to say: "How could you?" 
But another part of me says, you are the artist and it's your artistic flow. The fact that it is so well written that you can feel the emotion makes it wonderful. But still, wah!Stef =o)
So sad and so beautiful at the same time.
omg! how sad...but thanks
Build us up... just to let us down. But in a nice way :)
Poor Hermione! How will she cope in the coming days? This is so sad, but very well written.Beth
I almost didn't dare reading this chapter, as the last one had been so sad. And this one is just as heartbreaking, but beautiful nonetheless. Thank you. /M
OMG. I read once that a girl died an hour after she married. I don't know which one is worse.

Oh man, so short, yet so heartbreaking!
Still makes me tear up three weeks later. This is beautiful and poignant.
