A brilliant series I loved how their relationship changed slowly.
This......A strange wonder encompassed Harry then, perhaps with some flicker of a thing like pride. He lay back down beside Voldemort, his hand resting on the arm that hadn’t stopped embracing him, and breathed slowly out.
He had stopped the war. Not the way he’d always thought he would, but-it was stopped, wasn’t it? And Voldemort was sane. And he was invested in Harry’s happiness.
And Harry could live. He didn’t have to die a martyr, or even someone who might have a slim chance of returning. He didn’t have to give up the Horcrux connection that throbbed now in his head like the edge of sunlight on dancing leaves.
Then he remembered Voldemort burning Snape to death yesterday, and sighed.
This wasn’t a life of pure sunlight. This was going to take so much work.
But for the first time, Harry could think of himself as Harry Potter-Gaunt, the husband of Lord Voldemort, and not mind.
