About this work

This short alternate ending moves between Harry’s imagined family life and Dracaena’s reaction to his death. It is a separate text from Kosmo’s earlier Forbidden Forest scene, even though the two share a setting and themes. Content notes: character death, bereavement and a killing curse.
