When Hermione woke up on Christmas morning, she found only stars in her stocking above the fireplace. A fiery red star: Ron. A twinkling star: Viktor. A wooden, hand-carved star: Hagrid. It was as if all her friends had conspired to fill her house with stars of all shapes, colours and brilliance. The last star was dark. When Hermione looked at it, she felt as if she’d fallen into blackness, both void and bliss, never to emerge again, and she relished the feeling.
“Oh, Severus!” she whispered. And she kissed the star.
She never noticed her body shimmering into nothingness.
