Summary
It’s the summer after Harry’s fifth year, and he is devastated after his godfather’s death. He blames everyone - himself, Voldemort, Bellatrix, the Order, and mostly, Dumbledore. He can’t stop thinking about the ‘what if’s’, and the solution he comes to is that he is the one who could have prevented everything, if he just showed up a little earlier.
Harry’s depression turns to anger. And anger makes him do things he wouldn’t normally do. He storms into Dumbledore’s office but doesn’t find him there, so instead he decides to rummage through his belongings. He expects anything but Tom Riddle’s diary. He took it, to see his Headmaster’s reaction. After all, Harry destroyed Tom in the diary, didn’t he?
But what if the horcrux placed in Tom Riddle’s diary never really got destroyed? If it has just grown noticeably weaker? And what if Harry decided to write in it, only to find out that the past still lingers within the book’s pages and the aftereffects turn out to be catastrophic?
After all, Harry really did the one thing to make Dumbledore notice him, the one thing that he shouldn’t have done. The one thing that took him to the past, with no way back.
