Summary
Voldemort's resurrection goes differently, and Harry is left with an unsettling gap in his memories and a disabling injury from the Tournament. Meanwhile, Cedric Diggory is missing, the DADA professor vanished into the night, and Dumbledore thinks that Voldemort's back.
Abandoned at the Dursleys for the summer, and suddenly out of contact with his friends, Harry spirals into depression, isolation, and anxiety. By the time fifth year begins, he's a wreck. When the new DADA professor, Thomas Gaunt, takes an interest in Harry and offers him private lessons, it becomes one of the only things keeping him going. It might be his salvation... or his greatest mistake.

Summary
(est toujours debout!)
"The Dark Arts are many, varied, ever-changing, and eternal. Fighting them is like fighting a many-headed monster...you are fighting that which is unfixed, mutating, indestructible."
Tom Marvolo Riddle watched Grindelwald's movement die, largely, with his defeat. Let it not be said that Lord Voldemort cannot learn from others' failures: rather than a military movement, the new generation of the Dark grows through seduction, and the Dark Lord rules His Underground from the shadows.
By the time Harry Potter turns eleven, the magical world his parents knew is in the process of being subsumed under the philosophies and lifestyles of a young, hedonistic majority -- where there is only power and those too weak to seek it. And Harry has grown up sheltered, but he is not weak, not at all...
