Title: A Past Revealed

The ethereal mist of the Grey Lady appeared near the fireplace blocking the warmth, her melancholy smothering the two wizards.

"Perhaps my dear," stated Albus," will you do us the kindness of telling us the circumstances of your death?"

The spirit floated around the men, her detached voice lilting softly, "my death was rather ordinary. I was pregnant with our first child, who died in the womb. Montague tried every magic, but within days I succumbed to the blood poisoning."

The ghost gestured towards Snape, "Is he one I am here for?"

Albus rested a hand on Snape's back, "yes."
