Summary
Harry knew what he had to do.It was his responsibility, right? After all, Death had hand-picked him for this job. He was destined to destroy Tom Riddle, or himself in the process.After being killed by a cheap shot just after Harry vanquished Voldemort, he finds himself in Diagon Alley, except, the year is 1942 and he is in his 16-year-old body.Starkly, Harry realises that Tom is a mirror image of himself, which creates a perfect juxtaposition of their souls. This realisation makes Harry question everything, including whether he should kill Tom Riddle.
Note
I'm so happy to finally be sharing this fic as I have been planning it for months (A lot of procrastinating has made it take this long), but please keep in mind that this is my first attempt at writing fanfiction, and my first time actually publishing something on ao3. Since I have planned out quite a lot of chapters so far, I'm hoping that I will be able to provide consistent updates. However, I'm still figuring out the best update schedule since I'm still in high school, and my schedule can be a bit unpredictable.I'm also open to constructive criticism, so if you have any feedback or suggestions, please feel free to share. Just remember that there's a difference between constructive criticism and being rude, so keep the comments respectful and helpful. Also, let me know how long you would prefer the chapters to be, right now I am estimating they will be around 3k words to 4k.I hope you enjoy this fanfic as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
