Talk:The Last Horcrux/Tom Riddle’s Diary

This should make things clear to the reader - the timeline that Voldemort and Emily are in is not exactly the same as the Harry Potter books (Bellatrix not in Azkaban, Emily at Hogwarts instead of Beaubatons).

However, you might have thought that the timeline from which Voldemort came was the same as the original Harry Potter books, but this is not the case, and his memory of the Horcruxes being different to the fates which we, the readers know, demonstrates this.

What this means is that the story can be similar, but not identical to the original Harry Potter stories, and even when it is identical, Voldemort won’t be able to predict everything ahead of time.

I hope this makes things a bit more enjoyable, and less predictable, for the reader. It certainly will make things more fun for me to write. It’s also a little loophole for me fucking up small details. So long as what I write is consistent with other things I have written, it’s ok Emily (talk) 20:45, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
