Voldemort fled to the Albanian forest, seeking physical form though snakes and waiting for one of his Death Eaters to find him. Then in 1991, Professor Quirrell came to Albania and Voldemort manipulated him to bring him to Hogwarts to find the Philosophers Stone. Voldemort’s face was attached to the back of Quirrell’s head and Quirrell was forced to drink unicorn blood in order to give his master strength and power.
But the search from the stone was halted by Harry Potter and Voldemort was left without a body as Quirrell died from this event. This was Harry’s first meeting with the man who had killed his parents.
In 1992, the diary Tom Riddle had created fell into the hands of Ginny Weasley who helped open the Chamber of Secrets once again. And once again, his progress was impeded by Harry Potter. Harry destroyed the diary and killed the Basilisk, leaving Voldemort without body and with Harry still alive.
In 1994, Voldemort had managed to gain a physical form but was still very weak. He was cared for by Peter Pettigrew and nursed to health by his snake Nagini, also a horcrux. With the help of Bartemius Crouch Jr and the Tri-Wizard Tournament, Voldemort managed to capture Harry Potter, kill Cedric Diggory and restore himself a full body at last. Harry survived this meeting once again, helped by Priori Incantatem. Voldemort then planned for a Second Wizarding War.
In 1995, Voldemort and his Death Eaters set about trying to find the full version of the prophecy that was made in 1979. This was stopped by none other than Harry Potter, his five friends, and several members of the Order of the Phoenix. But Voldemort wasn’t going to give up that easily. It was in this year that he realised the connection between The Boy Who Lived and himself and used it to his advantage, creating visions in Harry’s mind to lure him to the Ministry of Magic.
After the Order arrived however, so did Dumbledore. The two duelled but Voldemort fled once the Minister for Magic arrived and his cover was blown. Because of this, Voldemort started killing in broad daylight and the Dementors sided with him. All the Death Eaters in Azkaban escaped and joined back with their Lord and Voldemort established a base at Malfoy Manor.
In 1996, Draco Malfoy was made a Death Eater and was ordered to kill Albus Dumbledore. This was eventually done by Severus Snape and now even Hogwarts wasn’t safe.
In 1997, Voldemort conquered both the Ministry of Magic, using Pius Thicknesse as his pawn for the Minister, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, implanting several Death Eaters in key postions with Severus Snape as Headmaster.
Over the next several months, Voldemort searched for the Elder Wand thinking it would break the Priori Incantatem that he and Harry Potter shared at his re-birth. He tortured and killed the wandmaker Gregorovitch and learnt that it had been stolen by a blond boy whom the wandmaker had no name for. This turned out to be Gellert Grindelwald who was now locked up in his own prison of Nurmengard. Voldemort travelled there but killed Grindelwald, gaining no information.
But Voldemort knew that Dumbledore had defeated Grindelwald, so he journeyed to Dumbledore’s tomb and stole the Elder Wand for himself.
After this, Voldemort is informed that Harry has broken into Gringotts vaults and stolen Hufflepuff’s cup. He then realises that Harry is going after his Horcruxes. He checks the places he had previously hidden them outside of Hogwarts before returning there with his army to wage a final battle.
But the Elder Wand was only working like his old wand used to, so he ordered Nagini to kill Severus Snape, assuming this would restore the mastery to him. This failed as Harry was the master at this point.
Voldemort then called an hour of armistice. Harry would come to him or he would enter the battle himself. Harry, of course, came to him and Voldemort finally cast the Killing Curse upon him. But this only killed the horcrux buried deep in the lightning scar and both wizards were knocked out
