What if? What if Voldemort felt the Horcrux inside Harry? And when Voldemort summoned Harry to the Forest, he didn't kill him. That would be killing himself. He bound him, sent him to Malfoy Manor and made everyone think he is dead. Voldemort still lost the Battle, but he and a few Death Eaters escaped. Voldemort stopped his war effort and focused on figuring how to extract his soul out of Harry. He leaves Harry there to be tortured and abused by his Death Eaters. For months they torture and assault him, until Draco Malfoy comes down the steps and heals him. Harry doesn't trust him, until Draco tells him that they are bound together by a Life Debt. But Harry is breaking... and is determined to die, to destroy the last Horcrux. Can Draco save someone destined to die? Can he save Harry's mind, too? **TRIGGER WARNING** Constant and repeated references to sexual assaults, forced sex and non-con. I generally don't write about the act, but will mention what happened and Harry's psychological trauma from it. Also, there's frequent mentions of suicide. Be warned.
