But he was going to dwell on those thoughts all night regardless, so he decided in the end that there was no harm in at least attempting to purge them by committing them to paper first. Bound within was thick paper, which had been handsome in its day but had started yellow along the edges.

When Voldemort unexpectedly spares him in the graveyard, Harry needs to figure out what exactly the Dark wizard wants from him and how to escape his captivity. This is an Alternate Universe where Harry Potter grows with the Dursleys, but in this universe, Petunia loves her Nephew, and so does Dudley. He’s had enough of pretending to be the perfect Light Saviour, Dumbledore’s puppet, while it brought him nothing but grief - he will no longer allow anyone to control him.Hermione Granger finds a mysterious diary containing answers to questions no one else could seem to answer (and some that she dared not even ask). No one who is consumed in the mundanity of normal Privet Drive really wants to be friends with someone that is too fast, too slow, too unlabeled, too strange, too unnerving… freakish.

Where the events of COS and POA happen differently, and in Sixth Year, Hermione finds Tom Riddle's diary amongst her things. It would be the case that her only intellectual equal is a condescending and possibly evil magical journal.The closest she’d come to seeing it was with Dumbledore; placing himself above the conversation by stating all these questions that she was never going to get an answer to. It would forge her future as well as hang her life in the balance; because that thin line that marred her flesh had become an unbreakable tether, entwining her and the cold-blooded man that had taken the lives of many more than just her parents. A second passed, and Regulus watched in surprise as something new appeared in the diary, dark and cramped cursive words replacing his own. Gentle reminder to please read all the tags and make sure you're alright with them before starting the story.
