After a disastrous third year back in time, in which Harry almost ruined everything, he is forced to learn that he cannot control everything. He's determined to continue towards his goal, even if that means he has to accept more help than expected and even take a step or two back. But the Triwizard Tournament is going to get personal. Continues on from The Tracks of Time.

While Harry's brave and desperate plan to fix the past is forging ahead, he is forced to admit that things are not happening as expected. Struggling with the guilt of his mistakes and the weight of his ignorance, Harry also has to juggle some new, heavy responsibilities as everything seems to be creeping out from under his control.

While returning to his past has been more of a challenge than Harry expected, he has still managed to find time to make sure his young friends are looked after. But Harry is beginning to realise that juggling his past and his future is more difficult than he expected, and controlling the timeline is more complicated than he thought.

When the most powerful magics collide due to Harry Potter's desperate, last sacrifice, he creates for himself a chance to fix up the wrongs in his world. Yet going back in time isn't everything that he expected: Voldemort is a threat, but it is Harry himself who no longer fits comfortably in the world. Time has changed him, he just hasn't yet figured out how. 1/5
