Summary
Harry was seventeen when he died. It was a young age, but it was older than anyone expected him to live up to given the circumstances of all that he went through.
Harry is forty-eight now, going on forty-nine. He is a husband. He is a father of three children, just grown out of their teenage years. He is a wizarding hero. He saved the world.
Now the world doesn’t need saving. The world doesn’t need him.
Harry thinks, and he’ll never, ever say it to anyone, but he thinks that day when he was killed, he should’ve stayed dead. He really should’ve stayed dead.
- a deeper exploration into Harry's trauma following the events of the series, because lord knows Joanne did not do as well as she could've in that area at all.
