   Summary

   Harry Potter had defeated the darkest wizard of the age.
   Harry Potter was the Boy-Who-Lived.
   Harry Potter was the Chosen One.

   Harry Potter is also very tired and would like to take a fucking nap, thank you very much.

   After Draco is sentenced to Azkaban, Harry discovers something deeply unfortunate: the wizarding world hasn't learned a thing. Harry wants nothing more than to drift away and ignore it all.

   Falling through the Veil of Death wasn't part of the plan.

   Waking up in the 1940s in the body of a dead Peverell heir was even less so.

   Tom Riddle thinks the new student is fascinating.

   Harry suspects this will become a problem.
