The Boy Who Left

It caused quite the stir when Harry Potter quit the DMLE. But his Auror partner just got killed on the job. Even the press had to admit that was a valid reason to leave.

Still, it was "just Malfoy" who died. Nobody said it, but many thought it, Harry could tell. He nearly cursed them all.

He went to Hogwarts, the only home he had left. Nobody stopped him wandering the castle day and night.

When he found it, Harry greeted the Mirror of Erised like an old friend. He sat down and, facing Draco's reflection, he began to weep.
