    Summary

    Trelawney whispered a different prophecy. Because of it, Harry Potter was allowed to live.

    He started his seventh year, the way he always had: as a half-blood Gryffindor, an orphan of Godric’s Hollow and the social leper of Hogwarts.

    Two things told Harry it would be an interesting semester: first, the Dark Lord would visit Hogwarts; second, they had a new defense professor, who moved with precision and power and spoke as if he was used to people hanging onto his every word.

    The man made Harry’s stomach squirm.

    And he called himself Marvolo Gaunt.

    Summary

    A mysterious object in Bellatrix's vault sends Harry, Ron and Hermione spinning into the past and to a Hogwarts like none they know.
    Posing as students, Harry catches the eye of the Head Boy, Tom Riddle, who is nothing like the Voldemort of the future. He's charming and sly and manipulative; both brillant and deadly.

    It isn’t long before they’re tangled in a game more intricate than anything before. A game of heightened stakes, of tension, and the odds are stacked against Harry. With the threads of the future unravelling, can Harry make it out intact? And what is the cost, of truly getting close to Tom?

    Summary

    At eleven, Tom Riddle is dead set on flying and deathly afraid of heights.

    At seventeen, he is a Hogwarts dropout and a Dark Lord rivaling Grindelwald.

    At twenty, he is barely a wizard, robbed of his magic and wracked by Muggle illness. A simple case of consumption shall end him, unless Harry unravels Riddle's mysteries once and for all.

    (Or: An AU where Tom and Harry grow up together, fight a war, twist a prophecy, break Quidditch, and fall very badly in love, though perhaps not in that order.)
