Tom Riddle remembers many things from his childhood at Wool's Orphanage. He remembers the loneliness. He remembers the fear he inspired. He remembers being different. But sometimes, when the castle halls are quiet, he hears a laugh he cannot place. A laugh that shouldn't mean anything. When Eleanor Whitlock arrives at Hogwarts years late, nobody understands how a witch could have been hidden from Hogwarts itself. Sorted into Ravenclaw and armed with an intelligence that rivals even Tom Riddle's, she quickly becomes the one person capable of challenging him. Tom finds her irritating. Eleanor finds him unsettling. Neither of them remembers the friendship they once shared. Neither of them knows that their memories were stolen. And neither of them knows that someone who has been watching from the shadows intends to keep the truth buried forever. But memories have a way of returning. And some bonds refuse to stay forgotten. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── "You'll remember me when you come back, won't you, Tom?" "...Of course I will."
