(I was 16 when I first published this, so the first half of the book is a cringe mess. It gets better after a while if you're patient enough to get through it, I promise)

First and foremost, English is not my first language, so apologies in advance if there are any mistakes.

Now before you read my story, I would like to thank you for clicking on this book, it truly means the world to me. I must admit, this is my first piece of writing that I am taking quite seriously.

I would like to note that this book may not follow the original plotline of the Harry Potter series. I decided to introduce a new plot of my own, created by me, and other than romance, I will explore the world that I created for this fanfiction.

I must warn you that this is a slow-burn romance full of angst, heartbreak, deaths and mature themes. If you are uncomfortable with any of those, I would recommend you click out of this story.

Before we begin, I have to say this:

Voldemort or Tom Riddle as I prefer to call him, has always been my favourite character. Not because I support his actions and racist views, but because of his determination, cunning nature and his ambition to achieve his goals. He succeeded mostly, and I believe he would have been successful if it wasn't for Harry Potter himself.

He has always been an intriguing character, and I believe his inability to feel love along with his upbringing is what caused him to act that way. In no way do these justify his actions, however, they do explain why he did the things he did. He has never experienced a single happy moment in his life and that is why I decided to write this story, so I could bring attention to Tom Riddle, the boy who couldn't love, and give him a reason to see or at least consider seeing the light.

I do not own the Harry Potter franchise, Tom Riddle or the other Harry Potter characters. I only own the storyline and the characters that I have created.

Please, do not hesitate to vote and leave comments. They encourage me to keep on writing.

Thank you to those who read this till the end, I won't hold you off any longer. Grab a snack or as I prefer a cup of coffee and start reading. I truly hope you enjoy my writing. Happy reading!
