A Time for Honesty
Chapter 6 of 8
Ladymage SamikoAfter many years, an event changes the circumstances dramatically.
ReviewedShe slumped in her chair, relieved to escape cloyingly sympathetic people. "You've been very kind recently," she spoke to empty air.
"I'm not kind." Snape materialized several feet away. "I'm a nasty old git."
Hermione shook her head. "There're numerous comments you could've made after Ron died. You haven't and I'm grateful."
"I don't want gratitude," he said harshly.
"It's only part of what I'm offering you, Severus."
He stared. "Why?" he barked.
Tired, she closed her eyes. "I'm 104, Severus. Ron's gone now; even my great-grandchildren are grown. It's time for me to be honest - with both of us."

Only a research partner. Pity he is a ghost.
*smile turned rapidly into grin*
What !! Honest about what? Evil you.
I just notice that the story seems to be told from the end to the beginning. Is that correct oy just a coincidence?
Response from Ladymage Samiko (Author of Talks with Ghosts)
The drabbles are bouncing between an indefinite 'present', the past, and the distant future. So far, anyway. 
I'm just writing as the whim takes me.

Poor Severus. Having to suffer an emotionnal woman is not an easy task.
heheheheheh
Its not nice to swear at your wife Ron. Maybe Severus should have walked through him before he left?
Very glad for the update. I like your drabbles very much.
LOL keep up the good work Sev!
Nightlight!Snape...that's one I haven't seen before. I wonder what they were reading. I'm having fun reading these. Bravo! :)
Wow -- amazing, and really quite funny. I wonder what Severus thinks of Ron? Hmm..
So Ron considers Snape to be his wife's night light...
Pesky red-headed Weasley's, always causing issues and interrupting books just as they get to the good part.
what great drabble! thanks so much
That is a very interesting question -- if Severus felt that he fulfilled all of his life's requirements, why did he stick around? Hm.... good job!
I would assume then that love can bind a ghost? Even if he doesnt realize it?
Rut row leave it to Snape to attempt to distract her during labor. Lots of luck with that!
He haunted her for all that time? Wow that must be true ghost love
"You're the only one actually grieving, Miss Granger."That is so poinant & sad.
Awwww that was a mean thing to say Severus! Good thing Hermione took it as humor!
That was a very entertaining installment.
Hm, not all ghosts "haunt and terrify" though. Severus seems to have forgotten Headless Nick and the Grey Lady. Those spirits are rather helpful and protective. Maybe he still had someone left to protect...
well, it was time for a bit of fun in his life, or afterlife as it were.
I love the fact that he was present at the birth of her child. To me, this shows that he really appreciates her. Thank you, and great job!
Sniff. I loved this drabble series - it perfectly skips back and forth between incredibly touching and laugh-out-loud funny.
