    Summary

    A mysterious object in Bellatrix's vault sends Harry, Ron and Hermione spinning into the past and to a Hogwarts like none they know.
    Posing as students, Harry catches the eye of the Head Boy, Tom Riddle, who is nothing like the Voldemort of the future. He's charming and sly and manipulative; both brillant and deadly.

    It isn’t long before they’re tangled in a game more intricate than anything before. A game of heightened stakes, of tension, and the odds are stacked against Harry. With the threads of the future unravelling, can Harry make it out intact? And what is the cost, of truly getting close to Tom?

    Summary

    Harry's sixth year ends with the Dark Lord's takeover. At some point, Harry wakes from unconsciousness. He is ordered back to school. Things get weirder: after a vicious attack, Voldemort saves his life. Which makes it clear: he is a Horcrux.

    Should Harry stay, or join the rebels? Use his new power over Dark Marks, or resist the temptation? Should he fold or rage against the Dark Lord and his mentoring act? Aim for influence… or his own destruction?

    ~Gen, dystopian and plotty AU: mentorship between Harry and Voldemort, and between Harry and Snape - both at a snail’s pace. No main ships.

    A/N June 5th: loving this next chapter and got my energy back. So a little more patience :)!

    Voldemort spoke: "The Horcrux isn't really gone, is it?"

    Harry frowned. "What do you mean?"

    Dumbledore turned to Harry, perplexed - dismayed even. Voldemort watched him with unholy glee. They had paused their duelling.

    “You see?” the Dark Lord hissed. “He will always be mine.”

    “Harry,” Albus said gently. “You just spoke Parseltongue.”
