The war is nearly over. The avengers are closing in. But the losing party has prepared a legacy - a wound in the side of reality, which will outlive even their final defeat. (Note: WRITTEN BEFORE DEATHLY HALLOWS)

Lord Voldemort is dead, but his legacy lives on. Soon Harry will have to face the thing that hurts him most...

Death Eaters gotta eat, don't they? Same as other folks. And keep up a good estate. And hide all sorts of unsightly things. To do this they need money. So what do you do when all your money is in Gringott's?

While Goblins, werewolves and heroes go on their own paths around him, Neville Longbottom is going home...

Apparently Narcissa was not as straightforward as she seemed. Minerva McGonagall goes to Azkaban to question her again - and hears disquieting news.

A forest where men die. A tree that feeds on the food of the gods. A priesthood older than history. A spell that will change magical Europe for ever.

There are things that nobody expects, that nobody can even imagine. Yet they happen. And when they happen - who will pick up the pieces for Harry and Lily?

So the Death Eaters are free and powerful; Harry and Lily can never see each other again; and both carry, branded in their memories, guilty memories and terrible fears. What has changed? Harry and Hermione try to make sense of it all.
