Echoes of a Future Past

Summary:

Broken by the truth and hollowed out by war, Harry Potter walks through the ruins of Hogwarts for the last time.

Having realized his life was merely a countdown orchestrated for a final sacrifice, he feels no fear. Only a crushing, absolute exhaustion. He heads toward the Forbidden Forest not as a hero, but as a man seeking the mercy of silence.

The peace of death.

For the Chosen One, death is no longer a defeat, but the only relief from a world that never gave him a choice.

Lost in a world of betrayal, Harry no longer knows who to trust. Yet, the only hand reaching out to him is the one he never expected to take.

The very hand of Draco Malfoy.
