Chapter 1: The Hour He Chose to Live

A turn too many on a device meant to fix a death shattered time, throwing six students into an era haunted by a tragedy not yet written. Trapped just before a word scars the boy who will become the Half-Blood Prince, they discover a journal once thought to be ramblings, now a chilling memory. Every word, every secret, is a warning-they are living it. Behind the boy's cold mask, and the Grim's laughter that hides scars, love and loathing intertwine. The six carry not just knowledge, but questions: Why was this hidden? Why does it feel so personal? Why does it seem fate led them to this journal? As time spirals, trust crumbles, and the past breathes-choosing its own reckoning.
