The Hallows
Summary: The nightmare comes, as it often does.
Rating: G
A/N - One word prompt request – “Finish" for Harry Potter, from @penaltywaltz.
We’re going with the book version of events in The Deathly Hallows, not the movie with Harry breaking the Elder Wand without even fixing his own wand. What kind of idiot nonsense is that? We’re also ignoring The Cursed Child because… well, do we really need a reason to do that?
The Hallows
The nightmare comes, as it often does.
He stumbles through the Great Hall, covered in his Invisibility Cloak, as screams and hexes fill the air. Curses slam into bodies. Some fall to the ground as if dropping into a peaceful sleep, others are torn asunder.
The Elder Wand calls to him, makes him ache to snatch what belongs to him from Voldemort’s unworthy hands.
In his dream he doesn’t insist the wand be reburied in Dumbledore’s tomb, he keeps it. He uses its power for the greater good of the wizarding world.
That phrase always resonates through his nightmares—the greater good—jerking him from his fitful sleep with a gasp. Ginny soothes him, half-awake but comforting and whispering words of love. She reminds him that it’s just a dream. The war is over. Finished. Voldemort is gone. They’re safe.
He knows she’s wrong.
Even awake, he feels the seductive pull at the back of his mind, the reminder that he is the only living person in the world who knows the location of the Resurrection Stone.
He is the only wizard who can reunite the Hallows and become the true Master of Death.
He hates that he is tempted.
