The first time Harry meets Voldemort, the Dark Lord is a whisper at the back of Quirrell's skull, watching an undersized boy stare into a mirror that promises things neither of them can have.
Years later, in a graveyard full of ghosts and expectations, Voldemort finally says the quiet part aloud: "You were never meant to win, Harry. And that is not your fault."
Unfortunately for the rest of wizarding Britain, once an ancient dark wizard decides a hero-child belongs to him, he becomes very particular about who is allowed to break his toy.
This is the story of how Voldemort, very much still a villain, accidentally and then very deliberately becomes Harry's most furious protector.
