   Summary

   In the end, there was one body that all refused to touch. It unnerved people to see even the corpse, though it remained still and silent.

   Harry tended to him, this man made mortal. Smooth, alabaster skin and thin, brittle bones. Peaceful in death as he had never been in life, his harsh features softened by Harry’s fingertips. Creases smoothed, muscles relaxed, jaw unclenched.

   No longer a monster. Now a body, just like everyone else.
