1: (august)


Harry sat in the hospital wing for weeks. His friends came and went, but no one seemed to have the time to sit with the Savior; there was simply too much going on.

The restoration of Hogwarts had begun immediately. Walls were standing again, and the grass was starting to regrow already. Everything was returning to normal.

But nothing was normal.

That was why Harry sat in the hospital wing weeks after his injuries had healed, weeks after Kingsley had come to offer him a place in the Auror Academy, weeks after Ron, and Hermione, and the Weasley clan, and the rest of the world began to move on. He was clinging to the last chance at the past.


A/N: This disclaimer will last for the whole work: I do not own Harry Potter, and I am making no money from this. As always, thanks to my wonderful Beta jackfrostlovercadi93 !

So for those of you familiar with my other works, this one will be a bit different. These will be much shorter chapters, not all of them will be this short, but they stay shorter than about 500 words each. They skip time so the month at the top is when it takes place. There will be weekly updates, at least until I run out of chapters, but I have about 20 already written. Naturally, my note has ended up longer than the actual chapter, but I promise I'll try to keep it short in the future! Happy New Years! Let me know what you think and enjoy!
