Written for the 19000 Prompts/One Week Challenge - Writing On The Wall.

Writing On The Wall

Change was coming and it was coming fast. Severus could feel it in the air. He sat in the Headmaster's office, awaiting a signal, or a sign, awaiting anything that would tell him the time had come to act.

The elves felt it, the centaurs felt it, even the students could feel it.

It had been a long year, full of tense months, each one filled with waiting, and watching and waiting some more.

It was almost time.

It had to be.

But where was the sign?

Where was the signal?

It had to come soon.

The news came from nowhere.

Gringotts had been breached, and three teenagers had left on the back of a dragon.

Rediculous.

Preposterous.

But true all the same.

Voldemort was on his way.

Potter was on his way.

There was writing on the wall, and Merlin help all those who couldn't see it.

The War Had Arrived At Hogwarts.
