1. Chapter 1: A Castle Changing by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 3] (2252 words)

I hope you enjoy. If you do, leave a review.

2. Chapter 2: A Gaunt Past by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 3] (3237 words)

Keep in mind this story is going to be hugely AU. However, there is still some Canon involved, including the memories from HBP. I have written them my own way, but they are from HBP, so, disclaimer, anything you recognize belongs to JKR. This chapter has a large memory which takes up a large portion of this chapter, but still a little bit of other oddities happening around the castle. Enjoy and leave a review if you do.

3. Chapter 3: Recognition by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (2608 words)

Things continue to build in the school and between the occupants. Review if you enjoy. 

4. Chapter 4: A Game to Die For by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 3] (2713 words)

Enjoy a brutal Quidditch match.
I made up the name for the Slytherin Keeper as their Keeper did not have a name in 1996-1997. The only other change I made is that Draco is their Captain when he wasn't in Canon. The rest of both teams are from Canon.
Enjoy. Leave a review.

5. Chapter 5: Memories of Visions Unseen by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (4102 words)

Another memory from HBP is in this chapter and does take up a fair bit of it, but we get a little more odd interactions and issues between our characters. Things are building. Something is going on. Hope you enjoy. Leave a review if you do.

6. Chapter 6: Cracks in the Foundation by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (4203 words)

Lots happening in this chapter. Please remember this is dramatically AU. It may seem characters are OOC, but, for this universe, it makes sense as they all continue to experience the visions and weird bursts of emotions around people they don't usually feel such things for. Nothing should be too extreme, but there will be some seemingly OOC moments. Enjoy. If you do, leave a review.

7. Chapter 7: Searching for Memory by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (3654 words)

This chapter has another memory from HBP. Remember, as you read the interactions and things that seem odd, this is AU! Enjoy. Leave a review if you do. Minor language warning.

8. Chapter 8: Failing Magic by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (2804 words)

The mystery only gets more confounding as the castle and its occupants continue to change. If you enjoy, leave a review.

9. Chapter 9: Unknown Persons by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (3144 words)

Memory from HBP. Also, Slughorn's Christmas party does not happen remotely the same way as in canon. Leave a review if you enjoy.

10. Chapter 10: Awakened by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (3231 words)

Super important chapter! If you enjoy, leave a review!

11. Chapter 11: To Be a Hero by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (2646 words)

Enjoy this chapter. It's one of my favourites, simply for the little things and little interactions and details.

16. Chapter 16: Of Trials and Heroes by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (3650 words)

HBP memory rewritten, but taking up some of the chapter, and one small part of the mystery is solved.

17. Chapter 17: What Was Taken by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (2914 words)

Important chapter! I hope my explanations for which sword belongs to which hero makes sense and the connections are believable. Also, the Carrows I mention are not Amycus and Alecto, they are Hestia and Flora. They were students at Hogwarts during Harry's years. Enjoy. Leave a review if you do!

20. Chapter 20: So Close, Yet So Far by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (4716 words)

The last of the HBP memories, though one is very edited to fit my AU and the other is paraphrased so they don't take up too much of the chapter. Lots of interaction between Harry and others with heightened emotions. Enjoy!

21. Chapter 21: Nurmengard by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (3473 words)

Minor character death and their rebellion progresses. Enjoy. Leave a review if you do.

Super long chapter with tons of importance! Enjoy! Leave a review if you do!

25. Chapter 25: Brewing for the Chase by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (4140 words)

Minor character deaths. A fairly calm chapter as the rebellion finally works towards Dream Chasing and Harry witnesses something that gives him an idea for a possible sword location. If you enjoy, leave a review!

Action-filled chapter! Stakes are getting higher and higher. Enjoy! Leave a review if you do!

28. Chapter 28: Changing the Game by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (3459 words)

Plans and progressions! Also, very little is known about Kingsley Shacklebolt's life, so I had to make up years he was involved in things. If you enjoy, please leave a review!

29. Chapter 29: A Trial of Truth by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (3749 words)

31. Chapter 31: A Scar is Just a Scar by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (3062 words)

Harry's Dream Chasing continues though not very seamlessly. Also, no, I have no set game in mind for what Harry and Draco are playing in their scene together. Just...cards. Interpret as you see fit. Enjoy. Leave a review if you do!

32. Chapter 32: Confrontation by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (3970 words)

So, I am very close to the end of this story. I hope you enjoy the road to the end! If you enjoy this chapter, please leave a review! Thank you!

33. Chapter 33: A Trial of Life by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (5692 words)

And, finally, sword 4/4! Now that we've seen each sword retrieval, what was your favourite trial? Mine is honestly a solid tie between Ravenclaw's (Draco's) and Slytherin's (Tom's). Let me know yours! I hope you enjoy this chapter. Leave a review! Also, I completely made up the people in Tom's orphanage and Philip Murton (Murton is a canon family, but Philip is not).

34. Chapter 34: On the Precipice of Battle by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 2] (4226 words)

Battle aftermath. I hope you enjoy. Please, leave a review if you do and see you in the final chapter.

39. Chapter 39: One Year Later by TheLostBoys333 [Reviews - 4] (2458 words)

Here we are...the end. I hope you enjoyed this story as much as I did. I had so much fun writing a Good!Tom Riddle and Evil!Dumbledore, and I hope I did it well. This was so unique a concept for me to write and had been an idea for so long before now, the idea coming from the very simple one of: each Founder has a sword. That's where it all began. Thank you for following me on this story and investing your time in it. Please, leave a review if you enjoyed and check out the end for some shameless self-promotion.
