Summary: Tom Riddle left Hogwarts in a blaze of glory, valedictorian, Head Boy, and the recipient of many prestigious job offers. However, he took none, opting to work at “Borgin and Burkes,” the rather dubious shop for Dark Wizards.

He then disappeared. Years passed before he reemerged as Lord Voldemort. What did he do in the mean time? Why did he obsess endlessly over a strange place called Götter-Burg? Who was Locust? And who is Albatross and what threat does he pose to the Dark Lord?

Summary: 1692. A landmark year for wizards with the passage of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. The Statute and concurrent negotiations in Paris are at the fringes of every wizard's mind as wizards across the globe must change the way they interact with Muggles. But for three young students, a much more important event is at hand: The Triwizard Tournament.

One is an observer, torn between two worlds. One is a determined competitor, willing to do anything to make his father proud. And one is a shunned outsider, his family name fallen from grace.

These Three Remain.

Summary: He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was hardly the first to attempt a purge of the non-magical community. The Dark Lord cannot be attributed for the devious idea of joining the gods on a pedestal of eternal fame and worship.



No, even he draws inspiration on events in the forgotten past. Even he has a teacher.



Will history repeat itself?
