With such a change in their relationship, the year at Hogwarts becomes an exercise in trust.

Summary
"When Harry died, he didn’t know what he was expecting to find on the other side- but it wasn’t this."
Everything went as it was supposed to. Harry gave his life, killed his Horcrux, and Dumbledore convinced him to return to life and continue fighting. Except not all happened the same way. When Harry 'died' he saw the mended pieces of Tom Riddle that he'd killed over the years.
“'Have you come to mock me Harry?' Tom inquired mildly.
'… Maybe.' Harry responded.
Tom gave a shark-like grin. 'Maybe we are not so different after all.'”
OR
Tom's soul pieces come together in limbo every time another gets destroyed. Reconstituting Tom as he was before he ruined himself. He talks to Harry. This changes nothing.

Summary
Harry returned to Hogwarts for eighth year because he didn’t know where else to go. He didn’t want to be an Auror, didn’t want more titles, didn’t want to save anyone. He just wanted time. To breathe. To forget. To figure out who he was, since pain and war were all he had ever known.
He just didn’t expect a night of drinking with friends to end with him losing his virginity to Draco Malfoy, let alone waking weeks later to find himself pregnant with his child.

Summary
Tyros they were being called, or at least that was what Professor McGonagall had called them over the summer, when she’d offered them a chance to finish their education as apprentices. Hermione kept calling it an honor. In Harry’s quieter moments, the kind he’d never let on to, he thinks it more like a life vest thrown to someone who’d already drowned.
