FIC: Nose to the Wind ~ Harry Potter ~ Harry/Voldemort ~ Mature ~ Ch 24/27

Title: Nose to the Wind
Series: Like a Ghost in My Town
Fandom: Harry Potter
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Mature
Pairing: Harry Potter/Lord Voldemort, James Potter/Lily Potter
Warnings: AU, violence, universe hopping/rebirth, Dark!Harry, werewolf!Harry, underage relationship (ish)
Summary: While Harry had been content with his second chance, that didn't keep him from thinking what he could have done different, how many people could have survived if he hadn't been set on the very specific path he'd walked. Third time is the charm, though, right?

A/N: I struggled with this chapter a bit, because I didn't really have anything to happen (tbh, a war was supposed to start last chapter *side-eyes all the characters*) but once I actually started writing, things sort of...shaped themselves. Not sure whether or not I'm sorry.

For ages at the start of this chapter, very little time has passed, so Harry remains 16. (Hermione is 16, Will is 14, and Chris is 12.)
