   Summary

   Having snapped the Elder Wand after the Battle at Hogwarts, Harry Potter is healing. He attends Hogwarts for his eighth Year and Watches as his friends flourish.
   Only Death is not so easily thwarted, and comes to Harry himself, with the deal of a lifetime.
   To bring back five people he's lost.
   It's the easiest decision Harry has ever made, spouting off friends and family until he gets to the last one and says a name that even he doesn't expect. Did he make the right choice?
