A/N: Only one
chapter to go after this one.
Unbelievable, huh? 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
Disclaimer: Nothing
you read here (save the plot and bits of the text itself) belongs to me. Harry Potter and his cronies are the

me). All chapter headings are properly

Chapter Twenty-Nine
It
was a moment of triumph for the wilderness, and invading
and
vengeful rush which, it seemed to me, I would have to
keep back
alone for the salvation of another soul.
-- Joseph Conrad,
Heart of Darkness
“Are you sure you’re alright?” Ron asked worriedly.
The head in the fireplace
made a huffing sort of noise. “Ron,”
Hermione sighed. “I’m fin>fine. I told
you. Severus and I managed to find the
killer. A Squib named Stan Walker -- he
was the carpenter. That’s how he picked
Harry. And the rest of his
victims. The count’s up to nine now --
William Summerford’s wife identified Walker positively this morning.”
He shook his head. “I can’t believe it,” he said. “Summerford, too? We were so damned wrapped up in the idea that Harry died because
of who he was. Because he was the Boy
Who Lived.” His silence was
thoughtful.
