A Study of Resonance by mymovingfingerwrites [PODFIC]

Summary:

Percy Weasley is not particularly reckless, until he is, once, on the anniversary of his brother's death. For most people, the idea of sending oneself through time to correct one's mistake would remain a fantasy, something to dwell on in the middle of the night, but Percy has always been too capable for his own good.

Featuring: a reluctant spy, an unlikely friendship between a ghost and a lonely student, a portrait, very few friends, several very lengthy conversations about soul magic, and far too many Horcruxes.

(Or, an attempt to answer the question, if someone intelligent was sent back through time, armed only with the word 'Horcrux' and a general knowledge of the main timeline––not to mention a keen understanding of the Hogwarts curriculum––could that person logic his way to defeating the Dark Lord? Only time will tell).

PODFIC.

Notes:

This is the best time travel story that I, Billyballz, have ever read in my life. I've read it at least five times and been captivated each time. Thus I wanted to read it out loud, simply for the pleasure of saying the words in the order that mymovingfingerwrites has so carefully chosen.

For all my adoration of this story, I started recording two and a half years ago with an iphone and a dream. I eventually got a mic and wised up in my dictation and editing, but it took a while. I just want to warn you that the first, oh, 15 chapters or so aren't my best work. This is a labor of love, and I've learned so much while recording that the first ten chapters bear little in resemblance to the last dozen. If you fight through, I think you'll be happy, but if not:

Please go and read the written story if you don't like my narration. It's absolutely wonderful and intensely creative. Mymovingfingerwrites, thou art the most special writing angel in all of the heavens!

Chapter 1: ENDINGS AND FOUNDATIONS

Notes:

*NOTE FROM 2025* This chapter has been redone! It is now reflective of the quality of the later chapters in this work. Tighter narration, a mic (instead of speaking into my phone), and more precise editing. Fight through these early chapters, soldier.

ALSO! There is now a link here to the google drive folder with all 37 chapters. They are a little out of order, because I'm a dummy and can't figure out how to put them *in* order.
