The Darkness Within: Voldemort/Hadria Potter

Update

Don't hate me for hitting you all with a non-chapter update 😆 I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for all of the amazing comments and chapter votes on this story.

This is my first ever story that I've tried to write. I've been a long time reader and I'm absolutely obsessed with Harry Potter fan fiction. I just LOVE it! The books and movies came out while I was in high school and I've been a fan ever since. But I found the ships of Voldemort (in his dark form) sadly lacking.

Personally, I don't buy Dumbledore's theory that Voldemort is "incapable" of love. Voldemort expresses a wide range of emotions throughout the books and movies ranging from happiness, to amused....from fear to anger... and many others in between. While his sole focus and priority has been power and living forever, I just don't buy that a man could be capable of every emotion EXCEPT love.

Now, I know it's said that Voldemort's mother bewitched Tom Riddle Sr. But again, it's a theory never a solid fact. Because honestly, how would it be? No one ever got to delve into Merope or Tom Seniors minds and it's a magical theory that it would even result in the inability to love anyway. My book is based on the some alternative possibilities that remain, in my mind, completely plausible when thinking outside Dumbledore's perspectives and theories.

In reality, if you're capable of emotions then there is that possibility of experiencing them all given the right circumstances. Even an evil man can love. I realize some will disagree and that's okay! But this story was based on that belief. Voldemort is such a complicated character because of how he was brought into this world and how he was raised and I think that's something thats really fun to play with and think about is what really shaped him into the man he became.

For all of you still following along I can't tell you how excited I am that you have joined me on this adventure. If you haven't yet, go back and vote on the chapters you loved and feel free to leave all the comments you want! I love waking up every morning and seeing all of your votes and comments. It's something I look forward to every day and it drives me to keep going with this story.

Thanks to everyone, Y'all are amazing! ❤️

That's it for now!!!
