   Summary

   "What makes you think I'm so evil?”

   “Besides the drugging and kidnapping?” she asked reflexively, biting at her lips to stopper any more words.

   “Besides that, yes. I'd say that counts as another question, so let's see...,” he tapped his finger to his lips as he considered, dramatic in a way that made her regret Hogwarts' lack of theater program. Perhaps if there had been more extracurricular options, Tom could have found his calling as a movie star rather than a genocidal maniac.

   A modern woman gets thrown into the Harry Potter world. Only, there's one caveat: it's the 1940s and she'll be knocking elbows with one, prepubescent Dark Lord. Thankfully for him, her main concern is accelerating science as fast as possible so that we might avoid a climate extinction event. What he doesn't know about her adventures with roosters in girls' bathrooms won't hurt him.
