Summary
Voldemort's resurrection goes differently, and Harry is left with an unsettling gap in his memories and a disabling injury from the Tournament. Meanwhile, Cedric Diggory is missing, the DADA professor vanished into the night, and Dumbledore thinks that Voldemort's back.
Abandoned at the Dursleys for the summer, and suddenly out of contact with his friends, Harry spirals into depression, isolation, and anxiety. By the time fifth year begins, he's a wreck. When the new DADA professor, Thomas Gaunt, takes an interest in Harry and offers him private lessons, it becomes one of the only things keeping him going. It might be his salvation... or his greatest mistake.

Summary
(est toujours debout!)
"The Dark Arts are many, varied, ever-changing, and eternal. Fighting them is like fighting a many-headed monster...you are fighting that which is unfixed, mutating, indestructible."
Tom Marvolo Riddle watched Grindelwald's movement die, largely, with his defeat. Let it not be said that Lord Voldemort cannot learn from others' failures: rather than a military movement, the new generation of the Dark grows through seduction, and the Dark Lord rules His Underground from the shadows.
By the time Harry Potter turns eleven, the magical world his parents knew is in the process of being subsumed under the philosophies and lifestyles of a young, hedonistic majority -- where there is only power and those too weak to seek it. And Harry has grown up sheltered, but he is not weak, not at all...

Summary
Harry can't help it. Not really. Not always. But, sometimes, he forgets his books before going to class. Sometimes, he forgets assignments and entire conversations and due dates. This, that, the other -- all of it eludes him. It's not his fault. And for the first fourteen years of his life, it's not that big of a problem. He doesn't always have the best grades, sure, and isn't always liked amongst the other students, SURE -- but he can function. Properly, to a reasonable extent, function.
But it's Harry Potter's fifth year and on top of Tom Riddle -- a prodigious seventh year student who both stands for everything Harry hates and who has ignored his existence completely until now -- trying to seduce him, cryptic messages in Divination, leading a revolution, and the realization that his blood turns to mist when it touches air, Harry has lost his ability to function properly. He starts forgetting more than worksheets, more than names and faces.
When Ron and Hermione get asked: "Who are you, exactly?", they know it's time to step in.
Meanwhile, Nagini falls in love, Harry learns the oddities of his parents' lives and even odder deaths, and Tom Riddle plays with God.
