    Summary

    Tom Riddle has learned a lot since he started his apprenticeship with one of Europe"s foremost enchanters: how to splice different charms together to create a cohesive network of spellwork, how to be patient even when the first six attempts of a new runic construction end in failure (that took months and twenty snapped quills to really sink in, but who"s counting?) and even how to march to someone else"s (rather odd) drumbeat instead of his own steady stride.

    But what Tom hasn"t learned how to do is ignore the little things, which makes tuning out the new next door neighbors impossible.

    Summary

    So far in the year 1978, Harry Potter has published his first book, graduated from Hogwarts, attended his twin brother"s wedding, and received a letter from the dark lord that is terrorizing the Wizarding World. Now, his parents have died of dragon pox as well. It feels as if Harry"s solitude has left him in a whole, where all he does is work on his astronomy charts, but the letters from Voldemort just keep coming. And, well, Harry has never had someone to speak with on an intellectual level...

    Summary

    “Do you like it?” Voldemort asks before he can embarrass himself further.

    Harry stills. “What?”

    “My new face,” Voldemort says, tilting his head with an odd look on said face. If he were just a bit more buzzed, Harry might call it coquettish. “Do you like it?”

    In which Harry creates an opportunity, and Voldemort takes it.
