HermioneSnape: Hermione reflects on her relationship with Snape after the events in HBP. HBP compliant, DH not compliant. Please, please review!

Flash fiction which may become a longer piece, given positive reviews. I've tried to write in the style of V. C. Andrews here. Reviews much appreciated. Charlotte's father has recently died, and her mother is irritable and distant, insisting they break with their past life and move. She must adjust to her mother's distant attitude and brace herself for what may lie ahead.
