Summary
Everybody knows that Harry Potter left Britain seven years ago. Fewer people seem to know why he left, where he went, or what might have happened to 'The Man Who Conquered', though of course everyone seems to have a theory.
As far as Senior Curse Breaker Jacqueline Evans is concerned, that's the way it ought to stay. Jacqueline has spent the better part of a decade building a new life for herself, far from an oppressive fame and pushy investigative reporters. A life that she has no intentions of ever giving up, despite the loneliness that sometimes creeps into the empty spaces around her.
To Daphne Greengrass none of the speculation is half as important as the fact that she's almost certain Harry Potter is never coming back. It's what she's counting on after invoking a generations-old clause in a contract between the Greengrass and Potter Estates in a last-ditch effort to circumvent long-held family expectations. It's a delicate game, balancing her father's pride against his threats of disownment, but she's always had a deft touch.
When Jacqueline receives an urgent dispatch from Gringotts requesting her presence in London to discuss her upcoming ritual, Daphne's house of cards begins to wobble.
