   Summary

   Harry Potter was supposed to have died three times in his life.

   The first was at fourteen months old, when he was struck by a curse meant to erase him from the world by an insane wizard, hungry for power he didn't have the right to have. And he didn't die.

   The second was at seventeen, when he walked willingly into Death’s arms and came back changed. But he didn't die.

   The third time was not so poetic.

   The third time, Harry Potter pressed his own wand to his temple and whispered the words.

   And Death refused him.

   Again.

   -------

   Or Harry goes back to save the world and ends up saving so much more.
