There should have been no hope left.
Though he had continued on after his wand broke, it felt like the real end.
His vision began to go blurry and he felt the cold stabbing him with the worst of its edges. The water told him clearly that if he did not die from the narrowing of his air passage, it would finish the job.
The horcrux was tightening around his throat, and with it Voldemort's victory was assured. Still, he didn't, couldn't let go of the hilt. He needed to weather this trial too.
He needed air.
Gritting his teeth, he opened his eyes trying to buck his body up towards the surface when he found himself grasped and pulled out of the water.
Able to breathe he looked up at his savior, only to see the silver doe dissipate in front of him.
Harry kneeled, putting his fingers on the cold stone.
"I dreamed of you today. Ron wouldn't be happy if he knew that I had replaced his heroic act and remembered it as something you had done."
Harry looked up towards to the sky. The cold air made his heaving breathing apparent.
"It's been five years, but with all I do, I can still feel you."
