It was after midnight, and Harry Potter was sitting alone in his bedroom, hand curled over his wrist as he watched an unnatural mist crawl over the park across the street. He was waiting for morning and all the while trying not to think about June, though there was not much space in his head for anything else. Sequel to "Innocent", "Initiate", "Identity", "Impose", and "Intensity"

He always sat there, just staring out the window. The nameless man with sad eyes. He bothered no one, and no one bothered him. Until now, that is. Abigail Waters knew her curiosity would one day be the death of her...but not today. Today it would give her life instead.

Silence lay over the old, proud houses of Grimmauld Place. People were either away over the school holidays, or inside avoiding the heat. The only people left outdoors were a couple - the man tall, the woman pink-haired - who were standing in the park opposite Number 12, throwing sticks to a pair of large black dogs. Sequel to "Innocent", "Initiate", "Identity", and "Impose".

Harry Potter is not standing up in his crib when the Killing Curse strikes him, and the cursed scar has far more terrible consequences. But some souls will not be broken by horrible circumstance. Some people won't let the world drag them down. Strong men rise from such beginnings, and powerful gifts can be gained in terrible curses. (HP/HG, Scientist!Harry)
