Summary
There are some things Harry Potter knows that he shouldn’t:
He knows what a Sectumsempra wound looks like in water on a bathroom floor. How to lie still behind a rifle in Kosovo and wait. What the Malfoys’ drawing room sounds like when a man finally apologises for his crime. And what waits at the bottom of the stairs beneath their house, patient and very old, offering an hour that isn’t his.
There are some things Draconia Malfoy knows that she shouldn’t:
That in another world, the boy she loves killed her. That he spent three years paying for it. That he came back anyway.
It’s May 1997, and she’s alive. She has the Dark Mark on her arm and Voldemort at her dinner table, and she knows every room, every ward and every secret in his house. He has a soldier’s head on a sixteen-year-old’s shoulders and a squadron of foul-mouthed Muggle-born soldiers. Between them, a green ribbon that carries their thoughts across any distance, and a plan to end the war fast.
But in every war, the enemy gets a say. And Voldemort learns fast.
A second chance is never free. What will they give up for it?
