Things will be different for Estela this year at Hogwarts. Having seen the catastrophic future ahead, Dumbledore has given her a task. Foreseen to be a monster, she must change Tom Riddle. He is arrogant, manipulative and powerful, and she is unsure how to approach the situation. Secrets will be revealed as she attempts to reconstruct the dark wizard's future.

Things are looking hopeless during the The Battle of Hogwarts. In an act of desperation, Hermione says goodbye to Harry and Ron and returns to a time when Voldemort is not immortal, to meet Tom Riddle, and kill him. But no one mentioned his greatest weapon was his dark charisma or his hypnotic pull.
