'We used to be golden. We used to be weak, naive, ignorant. You call us Undesirable. Let us show you the true meaning of the word.' AU set 4 years in the future. Canon characterizations. Featuring: a powerful trio, an unexpected Grindelwald mentorship, a very twisted Ginny, an especially maniacal Dark Lord, copious amounts of dark magic, and, above all else, war.

The Resurrection stone was dropped carelessly in the Forbidden Forest, lost to the world... or so Harry had thought. One devout follower finds the stone and revives the Dark Lord he remembers best- the clever, stunning teenager he worshipped from afar at Hogwarts. Tom Riddle has returned as a shadow of his former self, and he begins his search anew for means of true immortal life.
