The Apollonian Locket

Having failed to achieve immortality the previous year, and take over the wizarding world by sheer force, Voldemort has decided to slip quietly back into the mainstream, by recruiting followers and consolidating power through more traditional channels. The pure-blood, muggle-born verbal wars are heating up, with both sides staging protests and demonstrations, and the wizengamot considering a landslide of new legislation from both. In the shadow of all of this unrest, Lily discovers that a gift from her father was more than it first appeared, and that someone at Hogwarts knows exactly what it is worth.
