            Once tucked into the soft bed, Hermione ran over the conversation with Harry. Lucius had been right, of course. Harry’s account was proof that the Edge existed. All those subjects in Kotov’s experiments went somewhere. And if she was interpreting Harry’s story correctly, the Edge was indeed some kind of pitstop on the way to death. While Harry had the option to return fully back to life, due to the complicated nature of him being a horcrux, most people must have a different choice. Either they became a ghost, like the ones at Hogwarts, or they went...on. Most chose on. She could even ask the ghosts if they remembered the Edge, though many seemed disoriented whenever she asked them personal questions in the past. She’d follow that thread at a later time, if necessary.
