    Summary

    Harry Potter and Tom Riddle are enemies, born adversaries, prophesied leaders of opposite factions.

    2001 to 1932, forty-seven days to change the fate of the Dark Lord.

    This is a 'Harry travels back in time to raise Tom' story. An unfortunate tale of one man's failed attempt to mold young Tom into a decent, law-abiding citizen. Instead, as Fate will have it, young Tom grows up to become the same twisted psychopath, who is hell-bent on winning the love of his adoptive father. Harry's consent be damned.

    Summary

    The amount of times James had opened his browser and typed in “what is wrong with me” was probably alarming. The things that came up were stupid. Cheap psychology articles and mental health preaching.

    “'What Is Wrong With Me?' What to Do If You Feel This Way” was the first result that came up from a website called wellmindstoday.com. It was probably trying to sell James something. A therapy app, a workbook, a guided meditation. Something stupid and wrapped up in a capitalist agenda. The article was tagged with things like “worthless,” “lonely,” “how to get out of a rut,” and “personality disorder.

    James pulled into the car park. He didn’t get out. He sat in the darkness of the car and read the stupid fucking article.

    Summary

    There was another student here.

    Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.

    It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.

    Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.

    This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.
