    Summary

    Latin; a dead language with no practical applications except perhaps the deciphering of old texts and as a particularly quaint party trick.

    Thankfully, as Harry finds out, Latin is not as dead as he was first taught when he decided to learn the language. It wouldn't have mattered anyway, of course; he loved Latin, and would have been proud to know it even had it been as useless as it was pretty. But in the world of Wizards, the world of Magic, Harry realizes his rare talent with words is particularly valuable, and allows him to use magic that no one's ever heard of, that no one's ever seen. But as time goes on, and he becomes more and more entangled in the webs spun by those around him, he starts to realize just how deep the magical rabbit hole goes and how dangerous power like his can be.

    All Harry had ever wanted was for the world to make sense.

There's nothing accidental about it! As he grows and his understanding of Magic continues to deepen and expand, what paths will open up before him? Perhaps one that's never been walked before?

    Summary

    On Samhain night of 1981, the Potter Cottage was attacked by the Dark Lord Voldemort. Charlus and Dorea Potter died protecting their grandchildren, who seemed to have miraculously survived, leaving a young Henry James Potter with a lightning shaped scar on his forehead. Unnoticed by the adults, little Halley Lily Potter was also marked, hers right above her heart in the form of the rune ᛦ (Norse/Younger Futhark for "Yew"). Dumbledore saw the seemingly dark magic on the girl and proceeded to cut her off from Magical Britain, convincing the Potters that she had no magic and would be happier with the Dursleys. The Potters and all of Britain rejoiced at the apparent death of Voldemort, while a little girl's life would soon be turned into a living hell for 7 long years, until one night, when her world changes for the better.

    It's been seventy years since Voldemort fell and the war ended, but Harry’s battle never did. Until he clashes with a witch meddling with time in the endless sands of Algeria, and the clocks turn back.

    The die is cast, a new path forged. Old challenges meet new tricks. Someone's going to die, and it won’t be him.

    Sic semper tyrannis, he says, and may the gods help all those who stand in his way, for no one else will.
