    Summary

    When Harry dies in the Forbidden Forest, he expects the cold release of death. Instead, he wakes up in the Hogwarts Hospital Wing to a world that makes no sense.

    His parents are alive. Snape and Dumbledore never fell. Draco Malfoy is his fiercely protective best friend, and Harry himself wears Slytherin green. The war, they tell him, was nothing more than a coma-induced nightmare brought on by a terrible Quidditch fall.

    But when Harry screams the name Lord Voldemort, he is met with blank stares. There is no Dark Lord. There is only Professor Tom Riddle - Hogwarts’ revered Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dumbledore’s star pupil, and the most beloved wizard in Britain.

    As his war-era instincts clash with this peaceful reality, Harry struggles to discern what is real. But when dark magic quietly tampering with his life threatens to shatter this paradise, Harry realizes that an unthinkable evil from his past is reaching across realities and the only way to survive is to trust the people he once called enemies.
