"I can't say I didn't doubt her return, that my doubts of the world she had been thrown into had been strong, but I never gave up on wishing to deeply harm those that took her away from me."

-----------------------------

Harry Potter, entering his third year, had wished for a normal year after two rather eventful ones. They hadn't been particularly positive events, per say, and he had wished that, perhaps, the world would give him a break. However, with the looming warning of the mass murderer hunting him, the threat of cloaked creatures known as dementors haunting him, and the lurking tension of having another encounter with Voldemort stuck with him. But it isn't the fact that Sirius Black had found him after breaking into school grounds, it was the fact that someone else had found them, too.

Cadenza Nightworth was an anomaly to society, even in her school years, and that fact had only grown stronger after spending two decades in the hands of Voldemort and his loyal subjects. She had once been an optimistic, lovely little girl with a yearning for knowledge, but those years trapped in the poisoned claws of the enemy had twisted her into something cold. Over the next years, Harry must watch as the woman he had come to know changes into something new, whether for the better or worse. And, as the world grows ever darker with the return of the Dark Lord, things turn out to not be as they seem.
