    Summary

    Harry Potter was ten years old when he decided he could not survive another day in Privet Drive.

    When the Grim Reaper assigned to collect his soul arrives, however, something goes terribly wrong. Or perhaps terribly right.

    Instead of death, Harry is offered penance.
    Instead of peace, he is handed a scythe.
    And instead of being alone, he finds himself under the care of the last person anyone would describe as gentle: William T. Spears.

    Death, it turns out, may be kinder than living.

    Or:
    The one where Harry becomes a Grim Reaper, William accidentally adopts a child, and everyone in the Dispatch is concerned.
