Acceptance of Fate by Chaz Knapp.

From soundtrack of documentary Hälsningar från skogen ( Greetings from the Woods)

Finally the truth.

Lying with his face pressed into the dusty carpet of the office where he had once thought he was learning the secrets of victory, Harry understood at last that he was not supposed to survive. His job was to walk calmly into Death's welcoming arms. Along the way, he was to dispose of remaining links to life, so that at last when he flung himself across Voldemort's path and did not raise an wand to defend himself, the end would be clean, and the job that ought to have been done in Godric's Hollow would be finished. Neither would live. Neither could survive.

(I just got to this point in my audiobook, and I'm literally forcing myself not to weep openly while at work. I haven't heard or read this portion of Book 7 since the night the book was released. Harry's calm acceptance of death will quite literally be the most intense and heartwrenching portion of the movie tomorrow, I can tell already.)
