4 years after the rise of Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts a resistance stows away in the Scottish highlands. Elsewhere, Draco Malfoy is confined to a life of misery: forced into being a Death Eater, married to the insufferable Pansy Parkinson, and tortured by memories of the life he almost had. Set after an alternative ending to DH, with flashbacks to Hogwarts era.
