3. After the Party
Chapter 3 of 3
duniazadeThe party was a roaring success.
Reviewed“The party was a roaring success.” Hermione yawned, kicking off her shoes.
“Thanks to you. Asking the elves’ ghosts to prepare the spectral dinner was pure genius. Dobby in particular outdid himself. Even Nearly Headless Nick had to grant that the salmon was perfectly rotten.”
“But you invited Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore just to annoy him.”
“It was my Deathday Party, and I will invite whomever I please. The Gryffindor Ghost Wonder is welcome to decline.”
She looked up at him. He might be pearly white, but he enjoyed irritating people more than ever. He was positively shining with unholy glee.
~*~*~*~
“And who,” she sighed, “could refuse a joint invitation from the living Headmistress and the ghost Headmaster of Hogwarts?”
From the silver frame on the dressing table, a beautiful dark-haired witch laughed.
“Even my daughter turns against me,” he grumbled. “How is she faring at Beauxbâtons?”
“She loves you, as do I. She’s doing very well.”
He passed his hand lightly over her brow, and the cool touch soothed her. “And now, you must sleep – the sleep of the living. Tomorrow you have to greet the delegation from Durmstrang.”
She closed her eyes under the whisper of the softest spell.

So very well done...so very well
Response from duniazade (Author of The Colour of Time)
Thank you so much! I"m glad you enjoyed it.
The sweetest dead love story. Thank you.
Response from duniazade (Author of The Colour of Time)
Thank you so much for the lovely review!
Poor Hermione! It may be nice to have him around still but also painful to know she can't hug or kiss him.
Response from duniazade (Author of The Colour of Time)
But in a little time they'll have all eternity together and so much fun annoying Hogwarts' living denizens!
Shoult I understand he left this earth for good? That's a good way of dying but how sad.
Response from duniazade (Author of The Colour of Time)
Sorry for the belated answer - RL got in the way.And um... sorry for the sadness. I have to admit that if we have to go, going with champagne seems the least unpleasant way.Thank you for the review!
He did die (weeping quietly) - and I would pout about it - except I permit myself the luxury of assuming he's about 150 or so and Hermione is a lovely 130 - and that they'll soon enough have all of eternity together on the same plane of existence. I do like the fact she still speaks to him as though he were right there beside her - which of course he is.....
Response from duniazade (Author of The Colour of Time)
Oh yes, they were/are old and fulfilled, and anyway wouldn't let such a little inconvenient as death stand in the way. He <i>is</i> right there beside her and they most definitely look forward to all of eternity together (and to annoying Hogwarts' residents).Thank you for the lovely reviews!
Awww lovely! I like Severus Deathday Party lol
Response from duniazade (Author of The Colour of Time)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Your beautiful words brought vivid, colorful images to mind. So lovely... but *gasp* what's up with that ending? I didn't expect that. *sniff, sniff*
Response from duniazade (Author of The Colour of Time)
Well, if it has to happen, let's make it as pleasant as possible... *sniffles too*And there are compensations - still one chapter to go. ;-)Thank you for the lovely review!
Good start :) Love the image of Severus laying in a hammock on a lazy summer day.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
He's only napping.... napping, sleeping.... right? Right????
Response from duniazade (Author of The Colour of Time)
Right, dear... don't cry... *hugs lovely Moira*There's still a chapter in the series. *snickers maliciously*Thank you for the review!
And baby girl makes three. Awwwww lovely fluffy fluff. 
Response from duniazade (Author of The Colour of Time)
I love your lovely smileys! Thank you so much.
You are the mistress of delicate, beautiful tales. How perfect.
Response from duniazade (Author of The Colour of Time)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the lovely review.
Beautiful in words and meaning. As I see it, death would bring peace, but not on the prince's terms. Time gives him a second chance, and while not always pleasant, it is life.
Response from duniazade (Author of The Colour of Time)
Yes, exactly - he didn't choose the easy way out. I'm glad you enjoyed this - thank you so much!
very sweet

Aw! So lovely and sweet.
What a neat little idea, too. And I'm sure you know which (lyrical, delicate, beautiful) descriptive passage I loved most. You always seem to have at least a line or a passage that I wish I'd written myself.
Author's Response: *g* Thank you, lovely Lula.
Awww! That's lovely.
