Title: Taking the Light
Hermione couldn't ignore the soft insistent voices of the entity's hissing conversations. One voice coldly demanded, "take the light!"
Another responded excitedly, "yes, plenty of light."
The reigning voice spoke the request with uncommon grace, "will the daughter provide the light of life to merge with the dark of the son?"
"Yes, take it," replied Hermione vehemently.
She felt the spirits peeling off segments of her essence as their voices lilted. "What is given is always returned. What is granted is always revoked."
Snape watched as the illumination left her body, and he steadied her as they swayed over Crookshanks.
