  Summary

  Harry Potter dies... Repeatedly. In the wake of every death, Harry leaves many mourners. Sometimes his death leads to the betterment of the Wizarding War and the course of the war - and sometimes, it is the culmination of Voldemort's unstoppable victory.

  Continuation for every death featured in A Story Told Backwards. This will not make sense without reading the main work!!
