    Summary

    At Hogwarts, young Tom Riddle secretly masters the Patronus Charm–only to discover his guardian takes the form of a common magpie.

    Humiliated and furious at what he views as a cosmic insult, he vows never to cast the spell again.

    As he grows into Lord Voldemort, rumours spread that he is incapable of summoning a Patronus, and he allows the world to believe it.

    Yet buried beneath the legend of his darkness lingers the truth: the one bright thing he ever conjured was a bird he could never accept.
