Before we begin...

Before letting you dive into the story, I feel the need to share a few things that are deeply important to me.

I'm absolutely in love with the world of Harry Potter. Writing a story set at Hogwarts, with those characters or ones inspired by them, is a way for me to dream wide awake, to imagine new plots, emotions, and adventures.
It's a universe I've known for years, one that has always stayed with me. Creating something of my own within it felt natural... but it was also a challenge.

Choosing to write about Tom Riddle came straight from the heart. I just wanted to.
But setting the story in the 1940s felt overwhelming. Too many details to get right, too many chances to mess something up. So I chose another path: I brought some characters, either invented or reimagined, into Harry's timeline, inspired in part by interpretations seen on TikTok.
I asked myself, "What if Mattheo Riddle, Enzo Berkshire, Theo Nott, and even another version of Tom Riddle existed during Harry's years? What would happen then?"

And that's how this story was born.

Yes, I know some of these characters didn't appear in the original books, or have been drastically changed. But that's the beauty of imagination: being free to create without limits.

This story will focus on two pivotal years for the main character: her third year and her sixth year. I truly believe emotional and personal background is essential to a meaningful narrative.
I hope, as you read, that you'll be able to step into my world, connect with these characters, and enjoy the wild, creative twists I couldn't resist adding.

Thank you for being here.
I hope this story captures your heart—even just a little—the way it captured mine while writing it.

I dedicate this fanfiction to my best friend Ilenia, who shares with me a passion for this magical world and for writing.
I love you so much, lenibowie

With love,
Ale
