Searching a Hermione/Severus fic.

[Guest Vadelma]

Hello all,

I'm desperately (yes, desperately!) trying to find a Hermione/Severus fic (I think it also had Hermione/Ron in the background, but they had split long ago in the story).

Hermione is working in a huge wizarding library where a Greek ghost is the library ghost (at some point the ghost tells the story of him remaining/becoming a ghost, that he was (one of?) the keepers of the Athens library some 2000 years ago; when it was burned he died by trying to save manuscripts.) The peculiar thing about the ghost is, he can actually hold on to a coin, the original coin of Athena (with her owl on it) and, if I remember correctly, it is used as a time turner by Hermione.

Severus has died (?) but has remained not as a ghost but as mere "spirit"; no one can see him except his faint outline. I think he can't even communicate verbally. Severus is living in Hermione's house, and I think she has a cat which can also "sense" Severus (and even communicate with him). Hermione and the Ghost try to help Severus to regain his human form and have almost figured how to do it..

This is all I can remember of the fic. If anyone remembers such a story I would be so grateful to be pointed in the right direction. I've tried to find it on Ashwinder and RestrictedSection, but haven't managed to find it yet. Any and all help is truly welcome!

Thank you, and thanks for reading.

Sounds like In Spirit by Ariadne AWS.
