Summary
At Hogwarts, young Tom Riddle secretly masters the Patronus Charm–only to discover his guardian takes the form of a common magpie.
Humiliated and furious at what he views as a cosmic insult, he vows never to cast the spell again.
As he grows into Lord Voldemort, rumours spread that he is incapable of summoning a Patronus, and he allows the world to believe it.
Yet buried beneath the legend of his darkness lingers the truth: the one bright thing he ever conjured was a bird he could never accept.
