Hi all,

I'm sorry for not finishing what I started, but I'm afraid Choice will never be completed by me. I truly enjoyed the process of writing, and your feedback and support had really helped me grow. Looking back after all these time, though, I'm actually kind of embarrassed of my writing.

However, after digging through old hard drives and back-up CD's, I was able to find my notes on the story. I thought I could give a gist of what I had planned on writing in case people are curious.

Voldemort & Harry:

There was a prophecy made by Slytherin about Riddle, his last heir. It stated that Riddle will meet someone who would be his equal, with two possible outcomes. That person could be his greatest ally and soul mate, or his greatest enemy and undoing.

Riddle had known this ever since he discovered the Chamber of Secrets (as shown in Harry's dream-memory), yet, refusing to admit that all was pre-determined, he purposely avoided reading about the name of that person.

Years later, he stumbled upon infant Harry, realized Harry was the one, and brought him back. It was probably a mixture of self-respect and deeply repressed longing for companionship that caused him to raise Harry and train him to his best abilities instead of killing or brain-washing the boy. He wanted Harry to grow to his maximum capacities so the boy would eventually be his equal, whether in the form of ally or enemy.

Death Eaters & Elite:

So the Elite is a group above the Death Eaters, and most DE's don't even know of the Elite. After Voldemort's fall, the leader of Elite (Isidore) started gathering power for himself and rallied the DE's led by Lucius. Their plan was to resurrect the teenager Tom Riddle from the diary, overpower and use him as the puppet leader, leaving Isidore in actual control.

Jasper discovered something was amiss, he escaped Isidore and approached Harry. Armed with knowledge provided by Jasper, Harry was able to figure out what was wrong with Ginny and find the Chamber. He disrupted Riddle's attempt to fully materialize, but even without Ginny's full life force, Riddle was materialized enough to escape with a portkey to the Malfoy manor. Harry felt at a loss but brought Ginny to the teachers. Lucius wanted to kidnap the student Riddle was possessing to complete his resurrection, and mistook Harry to be the one.

At the Malfoy Manor, however, Riddle saw Harry's ring and was shocked. Riddle then told everyone to leave with the excuse that he needed to be alone to complete the process. He asked about what truly happened to his present self and Harry's relation to himself. Voldemort, in the spirit/shadow form, meanwhile, was drawn to them as well because he and Riddle's souls are those of one piece and had the natural tendency to merge.

Harry promised Riddle that his present-self was still alive, and that he'd do everything in his power to bring Voldemort back. Yet self-preservation makes Riddle hesitant to take Harry's words for it and rely on others for his revival. But when Harry mentioned Isidore and Lucius' plan to control Riddle as a puppet; Riddle conceded the point and told Harry how to destroy the diary, he also unlocked Harry's memory charm. This was done in time to prevent Voldemort and Riddle from merging, so the Voldemort Harry knew of was preserved.

Beyond this…

This is what I had planned for the next few chapters, after this I only had a rough idea of where the fic was going, and even with the notes I think I've forgotten half of it.

Basically, at the camp, Remus meets his kind and the pack leader's human lover (who is actually an Elite betrayed by Isidore, she is kept there by a restraining charm and is on the verge of breaking it).

Sirius has his suspicions about Harry, but in the end still accepts and loves him even though their ideologies may differ. When Remus finds out, however, he has a more difficult time doing so despite his promise to Harry.

Jasper and Harry join forces with others to bring down Isidore and the Death Eaters. Harry's priority is to revive Voldemort; yet Jasper insists on defeating Isidore first. Harry has a suspicion that Jasper intends to use him the same way as what Isidore had planned to deal with diary Riddle, yet he has to rely on Jasper at the time. However, his link with Voldemort grows stronger with time, and Voldemort is able to help Harry learn the weaknesses of his former followers and balance them against each other. With a crucial victory over Isidore's force, Jasper and Harry regained control of the Base. There, Harry let Voldemort possess his body to complete the necessary ritual to revive the Dark Lord.
