Title: Harry Potter and the Master of Death (2/7)
Summary: On May 3, 1715, the fledgling Ministry For Magic sent a small group of Unspeakables to confront the Dark Wizard Mortimer. Unable to kill him, the Unspeakables managed to imprison Mortimer's spirit deep within the ground by tapping into the power provided by the overhead Total Solar Eclipse. Records of the event were immediately sealed by the Ministry, and the knowledge of Mortimer's existence was lost to time.
When the sun and the moon align themselves in the precise same formation three hundred years later, Harry Potter must deal with the consequences of some very old magic in order to prevent the release of the vengeful Dark Wizard.

Many thanks to
knic26 for all of the brainstorming sessions, endless support and for coming up with the name "Mortimer" when I was completed stumped when it came to naming my Dark Wizard.
Also a huge thank you to
