A PeggySue fanfic about Harry going back to Voldemort's first rise and ends up befriending Bellatrix in the process. Harry is powerful, and a still sane Bellatrix can help him become even more so, but they still have a lot of work ahead of them if they are going to defeat Voldemort. Full of political intrigue, snark, clever magic, and a lot of fiendfyre, this fic is well worth the read.
