Summary: Terror and destruction seemed inevitable after Voldemort finally revealed himself to the Wizarding World, but at Hogwarts, Harry lives a disturbingly unchanged life. He exists in parallel to the people around him, and as time passes the line between friend and foe stretches into a complex gradient, difficult to decipher. Seeking desperately to become the hero the Order needs, it becomes more and more clear to him how dangerous that prospect is.
But, in a life fraught with crisis and tragedy, what's just a little more? This story is part of the series, Makes the Wind.

Story Notes:
And so begins a journey long in the making. Welcome to a sixth year AU cooked up by my best friend, MerryMandolin, and I (Cricket). We've spent years and years theorycrafting and world building, and for it all to culminate here. We hope that you'll join us as we travel down this path and unravel this tale we've wanted to tell for a very, very long time. We hope that you'll enjoy the angst, the drama, and the magic.
A huge thank you to Henry and Caleb for betaing this work. Your assistance is invaluable. I love you.
