Years pass, Harry seems to be at peace at last, but worries remain

Prologue

"... The argument became a fight. Grindelwald lost control. That which I had always sensed in him, though I pretended not to, now sprang into terrible being. And Ariana … after all my mother's care and caution … lay dead upon the floor. "..

"Years passed…. They said he had procured a wand of immense power…." A mere wand acting of its own accord ? It is the wizard that matters more and the wand chooses the wizard and no one knows why. But how could one wand be so powerful. Everything I knew .. every experiment I had done and I had gone far in my learnings farther than anyone, I chose not to try everything. That was the only difference. Nothing I knew could explain Grindelwald's wand's power. Except one… and that was the secret connected to Ariana's death and the wand that was to become my curse for entirety. … I could never forget Ariana's voice , her face and the pain of losing her every minute I had the wand. It could only mean one thing.

Yes, Grindelwald created a horcrux the night Ariana died and the part of his soul was stored in the wand known as the Elder Wand. The Elder Wand was a horcrux and it lived with me for a major part of my life causing me pain every living moment. Grindelwald lives and is buried with me… It is my everlasting punishment for my sins.
