The Ties That Bind The Soul
The long and drawn out battle against Voldemort and the Death Eaters left Harry Potter feeling empty, and the aftermath of it did little to change that. Seeing the hypocrisy of the survivors of the Order of the Phoenix, and how little the thoughts and words of the former Boy-Who-Lived mattered to either the general population or to his former allies, the young man distanced himself from Wizarding Britain, eventually disappearing all together. After several years, the situation in Magical Britain only continued to deteriorate, while all attempts to locate the Last Potter proved fruitless for both friend and enemy alike. Across the channel, a young woman completing her education in Beauxbatons continues her efforts to find the man that had once saved her life. Undaunted by the naysayers, Gabrielle Delacour tries to balance out finding her future career and the missing man, though she isn't the only person searching for the Hero of the Second Blood War. All the while a shadow moves about the French Countryside, trying to live out a life in peace and anonymity that was denied to them throughout much of their life, though it might be denied to them once more, if certain people have their way, for good or ill.
