Harry looked over to see a tall, thin man wearing dark clothes. Harry thought that he must be rather hot in the summer heat. “Yeah. They are.”

The man nodded, then asked after a slight hesitation, “Do you recognize me?”

Harry shook his head, flummoxed. “Should I?”

The man sighed. “Yes.”

“Oh,” was all Harry could think to say. “I’m sorry.”

It's summer break, and Harry is enjoying the two months off of school with his family. A strange man keeps trying to talk to him, however, and he increasingly begins to feel that something is not right.

Keep looking. For oddities. You will find them.

The Muggles called it the London sinkhole, the mysterious crater which suddenly opened up, leaving the infrastructure in tatters. But, for the magical folk who lived to tell the tale, it was called the Whitehall Massacre, the Day of Fallen Ash. Awakened to the knowledge of his own weakness, Harry must try to find his way in a society crippled, a people fractured, and a bedrock shaken. Haunted and adrift, he crumbles, but finds himself held aloft by the unlikely bonds he has made. As they begin to rebuild, uncover hidden secrets, and navigate the mounting political turmoil, it's imperative that they grow stronger together.

Because the road to recovery is long, but time is incredibly short.

Seeking desperately to become the hero the Order needs, it becomes more and more clear to him how dangerous that prospect is.

But, in a life fraught with crisis and tragedy, what's just a little more?
