    Summary

    Harry has already watched one world die.

    Then a violent dimension jump deposits him in another.

    Godric's Hollow is standing. The Potter cottage was never destroyed. James Potter is alive.

    And so is Lily.

    Not Harry's Lily. Not truly. This woman belongs to another universe, another history and another man.

    Harry knows that.

    For eight days, he watches her anyway.

    He watches her tend the garden. Watches James leave. Watches the long, lonely afternoons stretch around her.

    And somewhere between grief, obsession and the desperate conviction that the universe cannot possibly have returned something precious to him only to tell him he cannot touch it, Harry stops thinking about whether Lily Potter belongs to him.

    He starts thinking about how to make her believe that she does.
