The Dark Lord is dead. Harry Potter has triumphed -- but at what cost? When Harry awakes in St. Mungo's hospital, he has no memory of his triumphant encounter with Voldemort. He is further shocked to discover that Hermione is also in hospital, hovering on a razor's edge between life and death. Harry learns that Hermione's fate lies in the hands of his best friend and his worst enemy, with no margin for error. When their desperate plan is implimented, which way will the pendulum swing? Can Harry's buried memories tip the balance -- and if so, in which direction? Full-canon post-HBP one-shot, with new insights on old events.
