Fic Summary:
Riddle steps forward once more, his expression blank, and moves his hand slowly towards Harry’s face. Harry has no choice but to allow it. His escape route is blocked by the Death Eater standing behind him, so he stands stock-still, squinting his eyes shut and bracing himself for the pain that always accompanies Voldemort’s touch.
It doesn’t come.
His scar lies dormant as Riddle tilts his chin upwards with one finger – not even a twinge, much less the searing agony that shot through it in the graveyard last year. His eyes shoot open in surprise, and he meets Riddle’s crimson gaze.
“It seems that you, little time traveller, are the other subject of my prophecy.”
Harry Potter does not come back from the Department of Mysteries at the end of his Fifth Year. Everything after (and more importantly, before) that goes very quickly off the rails.
