Harry Potter, betrayed by those he trusted, watched everything fall apart. But fate grants him a second chance—a return to before it all began. However, this "second chance" comes with a cruel condition: if Harry retains all memories of his previous life, then Voldemort—in his younger form, Tom Riddle—will likewise carry his dark past. This is no simple do-over, but a deadly game between equals. Harry must use his foreknowledge to fix mistakes and avert tragedy. Yet, his greatest obstacle is no longer an unknown threat, but a younger, more cunning, and equally dangerous Voldemort, who remembers everything. In the corridors of Hogwarts, Harry and Tom meet again. Armed with the bitter hatred of their past lives and an intimate knowledge of each other, their dynamic is completely upended. Every confrontation is a high-stakes psychological war, and every close encounter risks igniting a forbidden spark. When the Savior and the Dark Lord share the same future, will their destiny lead to deeper destruction, or twist into an unexpected, forbidden union amidst their entanglement?

The summer before his fifth year, Harry Potter is drawn to a dusty room in Grimmauld Place. Fearlessly, like the Gryffindor he is, he enters and discovers a forgotten library—and something even more surprising: a profound eagerness to learn. However, this unexpected thirst for knowledge is interrupted by a bombshell: he has been accidentally expelled from Hogwarts and must be re-Sorted. Everyone is confident he will return straight to Gryffindor, but with everything he has been learning, the spectrum in Harry's core is beginning to blur. This change is certain to impact his entrenched hostility with Draco Malfoy. When Harry is no longer the pure Gryffindor boy, and when he views the world with new wisdom, the relationship defined by their House colors is about to be completely rewritten. The gears of fate turn once more. As Harry becomes uncertain of his true allegiance, and as old dividing lines crumble, his and Draco's future is headed toward a far more unexpected entanglement. Which path will he choose? And how will this choice fundamentally change both him and his "enemy"?
