Warning: There is a main character death as suggested by the title. Unfortunately, it is necessary to bring the story to its conclusion.

Note: This story is inspired by a story by beaweasley2, “Painted Domain.” The story can be found on this archive and is a very entertaining read. I highly suggest you check that story and her other work out. My mind turned to what ifs after reading her story. What does a portrait feel? What would happen if Severus and Hermione had reached an accord of some type and something happened to Hermione? What then? Hermione's Portrait attempts to answer those questions. Enjoy!
