The side of the Light is failing, and the Dark Lord is rising to power more than ever before. Trapped on the outskirts of Hogwarts due to scavenging Dementors and truly undesirable staff, Hermione and Severus must fight for their lives... ...and the lives of others. *Inspired by the AU in Cursed Child where Severus is still living. A lot of dialogue has been borrowed from the play, just a heads up.* *Rated M just in case.*All Rights Reserved
