Summary
Voldemort's resurrection goes differently, and Harry is left with an unsettling gap in his memories and a disabling injury from the Tournament. Meanwhile, Cedric Diggory is missing, the DADA professor vanished into the night, and Dumbledore thinks that Voldemort's back.
Abandoned at the Dursleys for the summer, and suddenly out of contact with his friends, Harry spirals into depression, isolation, and anxiety. By the time fifth year begins, he's a wreck. When the new DADA professor, Thomas Gaunt, takes an interest in Harry and offers him private lessons, it becomes one of the only things keeping him going. It might be his salvation... or his greatest mistake.
