Harry Potter & The Silhouette Of Eternal Benevolence by JourneyJosh

Summary: My version of Book 7. The war is in full effect, and Harry is caught in the middle of the biggest conflict of it all: whether or not Hogwarts is truly safe for him and his friends. With the ultimate duel looming ever closer, Harry has to take things into his own hands by finding the way of destroying the evil of Voldemort or be completely overtaken by the same force that destroyed his life. What he doesn’t realize is that the journey to overcome evil requires him to delve deep into the same path that his enemy has. Will Harry have the strength to remain loyal to those he loves and destroy Voldemort, or will he fall into the same darkness of his rival and further plunge the wizarding world into chaos?
