Echoes of Distant Thunder

Summary:

Hermione and Severus investigate a haunted lighthouse.

Notes:

Using Prompt: While investigating reports from Muggles of a haunted lighthouse, ghosts warn of an incoming storm but as the tide rises it’s not just the weather at risk.

Work Text:

She hears them,
their whispers in the night,
beneath the echoes of distant thunder.
They're in danger here,
something is coming,
something dark,
something unnatural.
They stand on the spiral staircase, eyes,
faces upward,
watching the darkening sky
He says the word before she can work up the courage.
“Dementors.”
