Rating: PG-13, for dark themes
Summary: Written two days after the release of Half Blood Prince, this is a very dark vision of how the series could have ended. Harry makes the ultimate sacrifice, assisted as always by Ron and Hermione.
AN: One of the many inspirations for this story was JKR claiming that the final word of the series would be "scar". This was my first completed fan fiction of any capacity and was beta'd quick 'n' dirty by star54kar more than three years ago (has it really been that long?) so all errors are mine and mine alone. I haven't really touched it since then, because I didn't want the influence of between-book revelations or Deathly Hallows to alter what I had originally dreamt. The Slytherin in me still sort of wishes it had gone down like this.
( Birth and Death are the two noblest expressions of bravery )
