Can Hermione and Gregory find their way back to each other in the dark? What will happen when a little light appears at the end of her wand? xxDustnight Prompt: Constant vigilance, Savage, Recharge, "I didn't come all this way just so you could avoid me." Music: You Are Mine by Spencer Combs, Guiding Light by Foy Vance & Ed Sheeran

Chocolate eyes stare into the dark

Searching for signs of strife

Constant vigilance in her stance

"I know you are there"

Ebony eyes search for the light

Looking for signs of hope

Constant worry in his stance

"I know you can feel me."

Steady hands hold tightly to her wand

Listening for danger in the dark

Pale light fills the room

Lumos

Steady hands hold tight to his wand

Listening for breath in the dark

Pale light fills his vision

Nox

Fluttering fingers chase shadows in the dark

Savage ghosts haunt her sight

Questions race through her mind

"I did not come all this way …"

Fluttering fingers reach for her face in the dark

Savage regrets haunt his voice

Questions forgotten in his mind

"I couldn't ask you to stay away … "

Tense arms circle his neck

Warring emotions play through her eyes

Dreams whispered in the dark

Lumos

Tense arms circle her waist

Warring emotions recharge his regret

Promises whispered in the dark

Nox

Silent tears track down her cheeks

Painful reminders of time lost

Wishes for a brighter future

"... just so you could avoid me."

Silent tears fall down his face

Painful acceptance of injuries long healed

WIshes for a peaceful future

" … when my heart was breaking with you gone."

Chocolate curls rest against his chest

Silent forgiveness on her breath

Answers settle in her heart

Lumos

Ebony hair rest on her curls

Silent hope in his heart

Answers set their path

Nox
