The Torment Bred in the Race by paperrose
Summary: It's been twelve years since the Wizarding world saw Harry Potter after he mysteriously disappeared into the Forbidden Forest during the Final Battle in 1998. Now Lord Voldemort has conquered, extending his reach not just over Britain, but France, Germany, and Spain as well.
Meanwhile, hidden deep within the Canadian Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, a terrifying secret is brewing at the magic school that McGonagall herself founded just after the second battle for Hogwarts. It is at this school where Muggle-born Leah Andrews and her best friends, Gwen and Cory, will find themselves thrown into the search for the truth: What is a dead snake doing hung from a tree like a sacrificial lamb? Who really is the new DADA professor with the strange colour-changing eyes and bad mood swings? And just what does a gentle half-giant gamekeeper have to do with any of this?
One thing is for certain - all is definitely not well.
This is the sequel to Alternate Ending. I strongly recommend you read that one first, although I don't think it's necessary.
Excerpt from the Epilogue:
As he sidestepped them, he glanced down again at the wrinkled slip of parchment Charlie had handed him two days earlier with nothing more than a quiet word that there may still be one last loose end to tie.

Anything you recognize belongs to J.K. Rowling. I'm just borrowing them for a while. See author's note at the end for an explanation after reading.

I am so, so sorry for the huge delay! I don't even have a good excuse; school's been out for a month and I've had all the time in the world to write. But, here it is. Enjoy! The usual disclaimer stands, plus some text taken out of DH which doesn't belong to me.
12. In Fate's Hands by paperrose [ - ] (4493 words)
Two chapters in one month? It must be a record. Although to be fair, this one was the very first written after Alternate Ending and the rest of the story stemmed from it. I reworked it to fit in with previous chapters, so any continuity errors are just because I'm stupid :P
