Summary
There is a particular kind of silence that follows a murder.
It isn't the absence of sound. It’s the weight of it. The way the air curdles around a cooling body. The way the stone floor drinks from the red bloom.
Harry Potter stood in that silence and realised he didn’t want to be a hero. He just wanted to live.
Daphne Greengrass was hiding in the shadows, waiting for a chance to save her sister from a monster. She didn't expect the Boy-Who-Lived to do the butchering for her. She didn't expect him to kill, but she was more than happy to help him hide the remains.
A dead boy. A secret buried in Slytherin's chamber. A torn soul.
The war was never going to be won by a boy with a scar. It was going to be won by two people with nothing left to lose.
