A/N: And the ‘Who
Killed Harry Potter?’ Contest has taken a turn -- while Albus Dumbledore still
has the most votes, Neville Longbottom has been the most popular recent
suggestion, showing up four times at least.
I will have all of you know that my tongue is bleeding with the
effort of holding it all in.
Here be chapter the next.
Thanks for reading!
Summary: A wandering
student comes home, a broken man pays his penance, and a gruesome murder is
both more and less than it seems. Some
paths to self-discovery have more twists and turns than others.
Rating: R, for intermittent
dark themes, violence, and language

you read here (save the plot and bits of the text itself) belongs to me. Harry Potter and his cronies are the

Chapter Twenty
And
in the hush that had fallen suddenly upon the whole
sorrowful land, the immense wilderness, the
colossal body
of the
fecund and mysterious life seemed to look at her,
pensive, as
though it had been looking at the image of its
own
tenebrous and passionate soul.
-- Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
“Hallo, Hermione,”
Nicholas said shyly as he opened the door.
“Mum said you were coming over for supper. She and Uncle Ron are in the kitchen. He’s trying to add peppers to her spaghetti sauce.”
“Is he?” Hermione asked
as she stepped into the foyer. “Wizards don’t
use as much math as Muggles.”
I would, too, Hermione
thought, wanting nothing more than to take Nicholas in her arms and hug him
forever.
“It’s all right, though,”
he concluded evenly, oblivious to her internal struggle. “And I didn’t get into too
much trouble.”
“Well, that’s good,” she
replied, grateful to find her voice again.
Nicholas was still for a
moment, seeming to study his hands with great intensity. “I’m thirsty, tol told her abruptly. “I’m going to get a drink. You want one?”
Blinking at the non
sequitur, her reply was automatic.
