Summary
Harry has accepted that he will never have a good relationship with his stepfather, Severus Snape, or his workaholic Unspeakable mother. But he still wants to have a relationship with his half-siblings. For that, he’s willing to put up with his stepfather’s ridiculous demand that he become good enough at Potions to take the NEWT as an adult. For that, he’s willing to deal with the tutor Snape’s arranged for him, the mysterious Tom Gaunt.

Summary
When Voldemort collapsed at Harry's feet on that day in May, he left more than ghosts behind: he'd carved scars so deep that even magic itself was struggling to survive. Harry was barely any better himself.
Sent on a Ministry mission to fight for magic's survival, Harry goes back in time with two simple objectives: find and destroy any existing Horcruxes, and stop Tom Riddle ever evolving into Voldemort — using any means necessary. Harry thus finds himself working alongside Riddle at Borgin and Burke's, examining dark artefacts and desperately trying to fulfil his orders.
Although, Harry soon realises it will take everything he’s got to stop himself becoming entangled in Riddle’s twisted yet strangely alluring web of power, ambition, and dark magic.

Summary
Unobserved and unknown to most, a bright star fell over the night sky to meet its end. Whilst in Hogwarts, Trelawney trembled with the force of a new prophecy:
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord is risen, born in a slaughter of souls, born as he thrice defies death...carnage will be his companion, as darkness will be his bride...a time shall come when the Serpent takes the world between Its jaws, demanding sacrifices promised...and none shall live as long as It prevails ...The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord is risen..."
In which a war between magic and the rest of the world destroyed everything Harry had ever known and loved. Traveling back in time, he will stop at nothing to carry out his vengeance.
