   Summary

   Dunja falls through time and lands in 1940s Hogwarts, stranded decades before her own birth and desperate to find a way home.

   So she does what she must: digs through forbidden magic, half-forgotten folklore, and secrets better left buried. But Hogwarts is dangerous in wartime, and standing out is dangerous anywhere. Especially when Tom Riddle starts paying attention.

   And Tom Riddle has never been good at letting things go.
