Title: Last Lord of the Sun
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Content Notes: Angst, AU, emotional manipulation, present tense
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Background mentions of Albus Dumbledore/Gellert Grindelwald; otherwise gen
Wordcount: This part 4600
Summary: AU. When Albus Dumbledore visits Wool’s Orphanage and sees the terror and rage in Tom Riddle, he decides he cannot leave the boy without a mentor. On the one hand, he may never make a Light wizard of him; on the other hand, he will keep him from going down the path of the Dark.
Author’s Notes: This is another of my July Celebration fics, and was born from reading a lot of fanfics that attribute Voldemort’s existence in part to Dumbledore’s failures, and wondering what would happen if he didn’t fail. It will be posted in two parts, and covers Tom’s first year.
