Avenged Sevenfold

He can't fail this time. Not again, he thinks to himself. There's too much to lose. Far too much. // Death Eaters attack-- but don't kill? The Order plans-- but won't let Harry fight?Harry's 'seventh year' proves to be drastically unlike anything he's ever experienced. Will Dumbledore's old rhetoric of love and hope last when Harry's strength is tested to its limits? Will loyalties survive when each side seems bent on self-righteousness? Lives will be lost. Faith will diminish. But some things-- some affections-- never change. // And with Dumbledore gone, a power struggle begins. Will Harry be able to slip into the role of leader he's destined to take? What will become of Harry and Hermione? Will they be able to rescue their friend? The world? Themselves?
