Author's note: Asphodel and Wormwood: The Draught of Living Death.


The ghost returns to haunt the scene of his crime. It is here that it happened: here that he forced a friend, who had loved and trusted him, over the edge; to fall out into the darkness alone. After everything, he had not been ready, hadn't been prepared, and no one knew the truth of it.

Again and again he watches Severus fall: at the wands of Death Eaters; of Aurors, at the hand of Tom Riddle; of Harry Potter; at his own hand.

Asphodel and wormwood. As the storm rages, hidden deep within his marble shell, Albus Dumbledore dreams.
