Everyone knows how the story of Harry Potter ends. He destroyed the horcruxes, won the duel, and Voldemort was nothing more than a body laying on the ground. But in their excitement from winning, nobody noticed something strange happen. Except for one girl. What happens when Tom Riddle is 17 again and has to rely on this girl to guide him through a new life? Perhaps Ava Merin can show Tom how to truly live. And perhaps Tom can learn how to turn away from the darkness that always tempted him. "You have brought out the best in each other. Don't let that go." - Gwen Merin Highest Rank: #3 in Tom Riddle, #1 in Voldemort *There will be adult themes in future chapters*

To the public, he was untouchable, a hero beyond fault. But to his children? Every misstep, every shortcoming, was laid bare. He thought he could manage. Thought he could handle life after divorce with some semblance of grace. I; Harry j.
