Chapter Two- Magnificently Profound

It’s been eating away at me for a very, very long time. I haven’t seen him but once in all these long years. He didn’t see me; at least, I don’t think he did. Not that it would matter. He wouldn’t acknowledge me, even if he looked right into my eyes. I am dead to him.

None of that makes any difference to me. I have to see him. I need to see him. My bones ache with a crackling pain to be near him, or so it seems. I want to apologize, and to accept his apology in return, to take him in my arms and shake him for being so insufferable (ironically enough, his endearment for me now applies to him), so impossible.

I take a quill from my desk drawer. I reach for a piece of parchment and place the inked quill to the scroll. But I can’t do it. I can’t think of anything to say or how to say it. A dark, splotchy stain appears on the paper. I start over on a fresh page. I can barely manage his name being scrawled. My pulse beats in my fingertips and the quill shakes. I close my eyes and push my hand further along. It’s all flowing from me now, none of it poignant, none of it magnificently profound. Just the necessity. Just the fact that I need to speak to him urgently. Please come. Please.

The owl flutters out the window. I sit in my chair, my large, cushy chair in my small, hard living room, and I wait. Wait and think.

I wish they could have overcome this. She is older now. Can he forgive?

That was very powerful and enlightening. Why shouldn't he be the vulnerable one? Canon Snape certainly in the first five books or so is very immature in my opinion and I think you rightfully extend this in that he probably either falls in love easily or imagines himself to. Jo did create an incredibly damaged soul and I think you have captured this beautifully. Though I always was very intrigued when Voldemort declares in DH that "there were other women". Sorry, I'm not making myself very clear but well done you anyway. Best wishes, Love Ali xxxx. 

Response from PersephoneVerte (Author of Breakfast)

No, I get what you mean! I think it's refreshing to see one where Snape's the vulnerable one every now and then (although I prefer my Snape snarky, heh). Thanks for the review!

rosered

This is so heartbreaking!  He must have felt like dirt, but he had to understand that in many ways she was just acting her age.  Well done.  :D

Response from PersephoneVerte (Author of Breakfast)

Thank you!

Well, that was an eye opener. Too bad Hermione wasn't a little less obtuse. She could have avoided much heartbreak for both Severus and her.

Response from PersephoneVerte (Author of Breakfast)

Indeed!

10/10

michiruwater

Oh, wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. All those stories where Hermione is the one pining, where he's pushing her away, makes this so bloody original and just... wonderful. 5 stars, love.

Response from PersephoneVerte (Author of Breakfast)

Oh, thank you so much!

Very nice. I can easily see this from Snape in any relationship,  this emtional detachment punctuated by moments of intense feeling. The intimacy of everyday life is something that would prove a challenge for him, or maybe I'm miscontruing your meaning. I'm going to have to think over those last two lines a bit longer.

Response from PersephoneVerte (Author of Breakfast)

There's more than one chapter, so we'll see about the meaning :) Thanks for reviewing!

Damn that sucks.  I'd like to imagine a happy epilogue where she runs out of the cafe begging for forgiveness, where he of course grants since she made the same mistake of many young and stupid, but I'm not the talented author here 

Response from PersephoneVerte (Author of Breakfast)

Ha, thank you!

Damn that sucks.  I'd like to imagine a happy epilogue where she runs out of the cafe begging for forgiveness, which he (of course) grants since she made the same mistake of the many young and stupid and now she's mature and has learned from her actions, but I'm not the talented author here 

Response from PersephoneVerte (Author of Breakfast)

Thank you!

He's so very good at pretending.

Response from PersephoneVerte (Author of Breakfast)

Thanks for reviewing!

rosered

How heartbreaking!  Both of them are clearly affected by whatever transpired in the past.  Can they not find a way to at least speak to one another again?  Well done!  :D

Response from PersephoneVerte (Author of Breakfast)

Thank you :)

That's sad. I hope he'll come to see her because what happened since last time ?

Response from PersephoneVerte (Author of Breakfast)

You'll see :) Thank you!

Nice beginning. I particularly liked the first half of it *wink*

Response from PersephoneVerte (Author of Breakfast)

Thank you!

rosered

My gosh, what happened?  It must have been something substantial for her to believe that she is dead to him.  Great chapter.  :D

Response from PersephoneVerte (Author of Breakfast)

You'll see :) And thank you!

Nice beginning. Deliciously unusual and erotic.  :D

Response from PersephoneVerte (Author of Breakfast)

Thank you!
