Crueler. At first, Harry dismisses the figure as a nightmare born from everything he has endured. Then the stranger begins appearing outside his dreams: in mirrors, photographs, shadows, and places he should not be. And he always seems to be watching Y/N. The darker Harry knows things he shouldn’t. Memories Harry has buried. Fears he refuses to admit. Desires he would never dare voice. Worse, he keeps telling Harry the same thing: Protect Y/N. Keep them close. Never let them leave. As Harry’s protectiveness begins turning into something darker, the people around him start noticing. Hermione searches for answers. Snape recognizes something dangerously familiar in the magic surrounding Harry. Luna sees the figure when no one else can. And Dumbledore seems to know far more than he is willing to admit. The question isn’t whether the thing haunting Harry is real. The question is whether there was ever a difference between them at all.
