    Summary

    "When you’ve been broken enough times, the pieces don’t fit back together. But that doesn’t mean you stop moving."

    -----

    He’s supposed to be a hero. He’s supposed to have won. But lying here, his body wracked with tremors no one will notice, no one will care about- Harry doesn’t feel like he’s won anything.

    He stares at the canopy above his bed, eyes tracing the grain of the wood, the dark scars of years past. The dormitory is quiet. Everyone else is celebrating. No one is here. No one is ever here when he needs them.

    Maybe that’s a lie.

    Maybe they were never there at all.

    -----

    What if Harry came back from the Forbidden Forest... different?
