After the Battle of Hogwarts Voldemort is dead. Until he isn't anymore. Without knowing how and why, he embraces his second chance at life. This time he will not fail. But death can not be conquered without a price.

Ginny Weasley had been afraid of death. So she left her ghost behind. Tom Riddle had been afraid of death. So he cut his soul into pieces.

AU! Tom Riddle born on the last day of 1979 did not become a Dark Lord but still aspires to become the most powerful wizard in history. Ginny Weasley thinks that her best friend certainly has the potential. So she is along for the ride. Unfortunately Tom's Slytherin heritage is catching up and threatening everything they have built for themselves.
