Trick or Truth?

Standard disclaimer applies: everything is J.K. Rowling's. As this little story, too, shows ;-)

"Don't you think that it's about time to put those women out of their misery by telling them the truth?"
The blonde woman, hearing the speech after the loud "Crack" made by his Apparition, didn't dignify him with a glance, at first; then her words were: "I don't think so. Not after everything they have had you doing – and suffering, and… screwing! - all these years!"
"It's getting worse after what you did to me" he replied, touching his neck and, still, slightly flinching at the thought.
"Tut tut Severus… Avada Kedavra wouldn't have been bloody enough, it wouldn't have done… "

Then, shaking her head, she muttered: "Nor can I make two wizards live through that! By the way, speaking of time, this isn't the most appropriate day of the year, you know… it'd turn out as a trick rather than a treat."
"Well," - grumbled the wizard, knowing that this last attempt to convince her to reveal the fact that he was still alive and kicking would end like all the previous ones - "I'm tired of watching all their pathetic ways to wake me up… I'm not their Sleeping Beauty!"
"Of course you aren't darling… you are my Prince," she smiled.

A/N: well, if he is her Prince she played quite the Queen Bee, didn't she?
Many thanks to Whitehound who made possible to sent it right the day it was written, allowing me to use it as a wish of happy Halloween to everyone.
And again I've borrowed these new section breaks from the very useful and detailed guide to the know-how of FFnet that Whitehound has written in her homepage. They are available to everyone at this link:
www. whitehound. co. uk/Fanfic/ffn underscore how-to. htm (remember to remove the spaces after all the dots, and put in a real underscore). Whitehound is currently updating the page to take account of Ffnet's latest upgrade: she hopes to have the new version up tonight or tomorrow.
