It is no matter a question of what is right or wrong, good or bad, and black and white. Eleanor Peverell's life is starting at a new chapter ten years after the last. It is a time of peace and prosperity under a new administration. Little crime has been reported since the darker days during the war and the new Auror force has kept more prisoners in Azkaban than ever before. As newely appointed Head of the Aurors Department, her new authority suits her all while feeling the hidden corruption of the Ministry crack down on her. With a suppressing boss who quickly teaches her the cheat codes and a new unprecedented threat being thrown on her shoulders, Eleanor almost wishes her boring routine that was her life just months before. This new threat though comes in the shape of a familiar face. He goes by Voldemort now. The rekindled relationship is like trying to light a wet wick on a candle. Eleanor realizes Tom is long gone and Voldemort needs her to become her worst self in order to help him. With Tom dead set in building his regime with Eleanor at his side without much of a choice, she soon begins to wonder which side gives her more purpose. She begins to question everything, losing her sense of morality and rather becoming the gray area in between; essentially the kind of person she hated.

COMPLETED 4/4/2021 "The people who often times do terrible things, are the same ones who have had terrible things done to them." After Lord Voldemort murdered Harry Potter in the Battle of Hogwarts, the world became plagued with a darkness unlike anything it had seen before. Muggles were slaughtered in the streets, the Dark wizard's opponents were executed for show, and all those who had fought with the Order were forced into hiding. Avalon had lost it all-- her friends, her peers, her loved ones. Everything. So, when she was thrown back in time to 1943, she knew that it was up to her to change the course of time and rewrite a new history-- one in which she had to find the Horcruxes and murder Tom Riddle before he could ever become Voldemort. Tom Riddle. Avalon Hendrix. Either she was going to kill him, or he was going to kill everyone she loved. They were nothing more than two products of extreme circumstance that chose two very different paths, yet had time for their roads to converge. --Due to the amount of spoilers in the comments, I will be muting all accounts who comment with the #RR hashtag.
