Harry was now fifty-seven years old.
Somehow, he had managed to avoid the Unspeakables, and had made it to the Death Chamber.
He ran his hand gently over the ‘invisible’ cloth, and stepped through the Veil of Death.
He was free.

Harry thought about it. He wanted to rest, but.....
“I’ll be reborn.”
“As who? It won’t affect the original timeline. Think of it as an alternate reality of sorts.” Death explained.
Harry quirked his lips.
“I’d like to be reborn as Tom Marvolo Riddle.”
