The war is over, and everyone is exhausted and overwhelmed. The dead are buried, and the ministry holds a big celebration parade for the heroes. Trouble is, no one feels quite like celebrating. Post traumatic stress, survivor guilt and regret consume our heroes and make it hard for them to be happy. A character from the past arrives and gives our heroes (your choice) a new perspective on life after Voldemort.
