Second Chances: A Tale of Time and Shadows

After defeating Voldemort, Harry Potter is wrongfully convicted by the wizarding court for the murder of innocents, including Voldemort himself, and is sentenced to life in Azkaban. Decades pass as he endures relentless despair and madness in the prison. Eventually, Harry dies and encounters Death, who offers him a chance to go back in time-on the condition that he brings a younger Tom Riddle with him.

Harry wakes up in his childhood, just before his 11th birthday, with full knowledge of his future and Voldemort's essence lingering in his mind. Determined to rewrite his fate, he secretly visits Diagon Alley, secures his inheritance, and gains the respect of goblins by revealing his ability to speak to serpents, including dragons. He then pays the Dursleys to leave him alone until he goes to Hogwarts. With insanity subtlely in the back of his mind, Harry sets out on his second chance with both caution, craze, and resolve, ready to reshape the wizarding world in unexpected ways.
