Summary
It was dark and painful back there in the corners of her mind, in that gaping hole at the back of her head that evidently led to his. Harry found strength in it. For that was how far she could fall.
She saw what Voldemort did to his followers…the pain and torment. The fear.
How he received a perverted version of respect from all his followers. They cowered from his gaze. Took his word without a moment’s hesitation.
And Harry wanted.
---
“Then what can Lord Voldemort give you?” He brushed her fringe aside, looking at the weeping scar. “What morsel can he give for you to sharpen your teeth on?”
There was blood in her eyes and what-kind-of-perversion in her veins, but she wanted him. All of him. His brain, his skills. She wanted to get under his skin and eat her way out.

Summary
Harry wanted to be outraged on behalf of the castle that he still considered to be his home. Hogwarts didn't deserve to have a piece of Tom Riddle lodged inside it like a particularly vicious splinter.
But there was something he was annoyed about even more than the fact that he was once again alive at the same time as a once and future dark lord. For the first time in his life, he sympathized with Voldemort, and knew that in this one instance, Voldemort might sympathize with him.
Harry looked at Tom head-on, and said, "Albus Dumbledore is a bastard."
*
Both turned down for the position of Hogwarts DADA professor, Tom and Harry have a few things to say to each other.

Summary
Being a Parselmouth came with the inherent predisposition to understand snake behaviours and imitate them. It was relieving Harry wasn’t going to kill anyone with venom, nor petrify them with his gaze. But also, somewhat frustrating as it was all completely useless. None of the skills that came with being a Parselmouth would help Harry survive Voldemort.
It might, in fact, have the opposite effect. For all Riddle's fury that Harry was the cause of his elder self’s defeat, he was fascinated by the fact Harry was also a Parselmouth. He had grabbed Harry’s face, turning him side to side looking bemusedly enraptured by Harry’s threat display. “At your age, I was imitating much more vicious snakes than this, Harry.”
That may have been all well and good, but Harry didn’t feel very vicious. He felt very threatened and in over his head.

Summary
The true Time-Turner was slammed savagely into Hermione's throat. It shattered against her neck, bits of glass and gold piercing into her skin. The last thing she saw before blackness consumed her was a plume of metallic dust and vitreous fragments, tiny prisms dancing behind her eyelids.
(In which Hermione accidentally ends up in 1950, pitted against an ascending Dark Lord in his prime, caught in the entanglement of pureblood politics, dark magic, and Tom Riddle's interest)
