Day 5 - Team Star - Fic : Beneath the Dreaming Spires
Team: Star
Title: Beneath the Dreaming Spires
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Major Character Death, Canon Divergence (no Remus/Tonks)
Word Count: 8000
Summary: Hogwarts was always beautiful at night. Even tonight when spells slice through the air in rainbow colours, there’s something mesmerising about the sight of the spires of the castle stretching into the charred sky - Remus and Sirius have a story, which begins and ends beneath the shadows of Hogwarts’ castle spires.
Notes: Thank you to A for the pre-read and SPaG check. The Pythagoreans thought of five as “hieros gamos” the marriage between heaven and earth, which resonated with me in the context of the themes of this fest and this story. On that basis, I chose to split the story into five parts.
Prompt: #50 - "When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly." - Hilaire Belloc
