Summary
Now that Voldemort is gone, Harry is finally free to enjoy his first year as a wizard in a world without the threat of war. He finds that some things never change: Ron is lazy but loyal, Hermione is smart but scary, Malfoy is still a git and there is no home quite like Hogwarts.Harry is sure of all of this, even as the Tri-Wizard Tournament is announced: A sacred, ancient tradition with mysterious rules. Things start out strange and innocent enough but each day the mystery grows more sinister until Malfoy is coughing up flowers, until the rumors turn vicious and deadly.
Note
A fair warning this story has a lot of angst that relies on sometimes very graphic descriptions of Hanahaki, including blood, suffering and a bit of body horror, starting in chapter 3 and ramping up as the plot unfolds. Please keep this in mind when deciding whether or not to read.Note: this is not canon compliant, especially the timeline of past events and the timeline of the Tri-wizard tournament. The first half of chapter one kind of hammers out what changes you'll need to know to make the rest make sense :)
