Summary
When Harry returned for his fifth year, still haunted by Voldemort’s return and Cedric’s lifeless face, he never expected the shock awaiting him. A boy far too tall to be a first-year stood to be sorted—broad shoulders, jet-black hair, and a face almost too handsome to be real.
Tom Riddle.
But this wasn’t the Tom Riddle Harry remembered. This boy claiming himself Magnus Thomas Riddle, was so startlingly different from Voldemort. His smile was warm, his kindness genuine, and his actions untainted by darkness. As Harry watches this supposed son of Voldemort forge his own path, he realises that while Magnus may be his father’s reflection, he is unbound by the shadows his father cast.
