Hermione & Severus: The Letters and Other Writings
by nocturnus
Updated on TPP to Chapter 2, Guilt
Summary: There are different times frames: some count life in seconds, month and years; others in eons, eras and epochs. Occasionally, they get engaged in a dramatic tempo; sadly, in most cases, centaurs, Muggles and witches live at their own pace, unaware of others’ rhythms, of others’ pulses. All of them abandon themselves to the cadence of their own existence, all of them leaving marks, mute witnesses of their path through earth. I invite you, dear reader, to follow one of those petit dramas; one which the stars will dismiss for its insignificance in the grand scheme of things. It is the common story of a young woman pushed by the desire to live and take the best fruits life could offer her; yet paralyzed with the nonsense of all and her insight that, as everyone else, she inevitably will die.
