Firewhiskey and Conversation
IV – Sure You Don't Want Some Firewhiskey?
Severus shook off her arm, walked unsteadily to his chair and sat down.
"She was so fragile. I used to try and make her smile after my father would yell at her and storm out of the house to get drunk. Her smile was so beautiful. My father squashed her down, till she could hardly perform simple spells. Are you sure you don't want some Firewhiskey?"
Hermione pushed him back into his armchair.
"You've had enough, Severus."
"Nope, I still remember."
"Severus Snape, listen to me. I care about you, you can't let this destroy you."
"I love you Hermione."
