    Summary

    When faced with the decision to go back or move on, Harry hesitates. His heart twists in his chest as he glances back at the squalling, writhing fragment of Voldemort’s soul that he’s unknowingly nurtured for almost as long as he’s lived. Harry can still hear Dumbledore's words echoing inside his head, “Something beyond either of our help.” But… Is he really? How many times has Harry heard those very same words whispered among the residents of Little Whinging? How many similarities has he seen between himself and Tom Riddle ever since his second year, ever since he first wrote in that diary, despite Dumbledore’s assurances to the contrary?

    Hagrid whisks him away from an abusive home and hexes his cousin for eating Harry’s birthday cake. Dumbledore believes the words of abusive caretakers and sets Tom Riddle’s precious few belongings on fire. If Harry wasn't who he is, then would they have believed the Dursleys over him? Would they have done the same thing to him? He doesn't know. The thought frightens him.

    Harry picks up the fragment of Voldemort's soul, cradling the unnatural-looking baby in his arms as he walks forward. He boards the train.

    He wakes up in his cupboard.

    Summary

    Upon hearing the prophecy, Lily Potter chooses differently. She brokers a deal with her once-enemy, and instead of an equal, her son is marked as something else entirely. Now raised under Lord Voldemort’s reign, Harry Potter grows up with doctrine in his ears and a leash at his throat, forced into a careful charade of false obedience. He thinks he can maintain the lie—until he chances upon a locket in the dusty depths of Grimmauld. It’s awake, aware, and Harry just so happens to yank the soul inside free from its prison.

    Summary

    The war ends. Voldemort dies. And Harry Potter is left behind—wronged, exhausted, and suffocating beneath the weight of survival.

    Unwilling to endure a future built on so many graves, Harry chooses another path: a return to a past still soft with possibility. His goal is not to rewrite destiny, but to reach Tom Riddle before the world teaches him to be cruel.

    To show him that love does not require eternity.
    That meaning does not demand immortality.
    That life—finite, fragile, and fleeting—is still enough.

    “I’ll be with you till the end, Tom.”

    But is Harry Potter hiding something?

    Summary

    It was an accident! If it was anyone's fault, the blame landed on Hermione. He never expected to be transported back to 1943, two years before the fall of Grindelwald and when Tom Riddle was gaining his following. He certainly never meant to adopt a magical breed of crocodile, so much for living under the radar.
