"Isn't there any way of putting yourself back together?" Ron asked. "Yes," said Hermione with a hollow smile, "but it would be excruciatingly painful." "Why? How do you do it?" asked Harry. "Remorse," said Hermione. "You've got to really feel what you've done. There's a footnote. Apparently the pain of it can destroy you. I can't see Voldemort attempting it somehow, can you?" -d.h. word count. 103k

"You're absolutely infuriating." He breathed out, pressing her body against the bookshelf with his own. His dark eyes brewed with irritation, and another emotion she couldn't quite decipher. "Trust me." She said, her chest heaving with every breath as her lips centimetres from his. "The feeling is mutual."

Eleanor Parkinson returns to Hogwarts for her sixth year, challenged with a vulnerability she needs to prove wrong and a new authority she needs to establish. That's easy. However, this year she's challenged something else: Tom Riddle who clearly isn't an open book. Eleanor accepts that challenge and when the silence between them after years of a seemingly calm competition is broken, she begins to crave another side of him that no one has ever seen. But when secrets from her family are revealed and she is faced with many difficulties that require her full attention, Eleanor realizes Tom is a distraction that's caused her life to meet a point where she has a dangerous choice to make: She can choose him, herself, or take the risk of changing him through her own journey of saving herself at the same time. But either way, neither path will lead her to anything more than a grim ending.

She was different, he was different. She was the perfect girl, he was the perfect boy. There was just one big difference; She lived in the past, and he lived in the future. The past was tormenting her, the future made him yearn for more and more power. How can it be that a normal girl took his attention? One answer: she definitely wasn't normal. The beautiful Loella Wilson was far from normal.

Tom Marvolo Riddle did love once. Only once. Follow my twisting tale of a life as it happened. Starting from day one. (Completed)

Everyone knows how the story of Harry Potter ends. He destroyed the horcruxes, won the duel, and Voldemort was nothing more than a body laying on the ground. But in their excitement from winning, nobody noticed something strange happen. Except for one girl. What happens when Tom Riddle is 17 again and has to rely on this girl to guide him through a new life? Perhaps Ava Merin can show Tom how to truly live. And perhaps Tom can learn how to turn away from the darkness that always tempted him. "You have brought out the best in each other. Don't let that go." - Gwen Merin Highest Rank: #3 in Tom Riddle, #1 in Voldemort *There will be adult themes in future chapters*

Eleanor Parkinson is returning for the beginning of the end, every previous challenge nonexistent in comparison to what she faces from this point on. The summer was cold and winter will be bitter, for a war is brewing, ready to spill over at any given day and Eleanor is in the middle of it all. However, she isn't alone and out of all jurisdiction and in total secret, Eleanor begins to join together her closest friends in the hopes they will be stronger together and with the help of those she'd least expect it from, half of her world becomes entirely secret and out of any jurisdiction. There is another half to her though, the one that belongs entirely to someone else: Tom Riddle. The one she has dipped into darkness with, the one whose soul is around her finger, the one who relentlessly fights her away at any given moment. As the rifts among her Secret Order become more prominent, she finds herself more lonely day by day and as the war draws nearer, she finds herself standing by herself. When Tom Riddle takes advantage of her dwindling state of mind, Eleanor might just be tempted to take a stronger dose of the poison he is if it means winning this war. She will not rest until her family is safe and she will never stop fighting until Tom is off his pedestal high above her. But when the dust is settled and Eleanor and Tom are the ones left standing, what will come of her next when he just may be the one standing on the other side of the battlefield next?

You know the story of Harry Potter. Or so you thought... What if the Prophecy was tampered with. It changed and left out the most crucial details: The one who will find the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. Born as the seventh month dies. The Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord has lost. In order for both of them to live, the boy must bring back the love. She is the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord. They just need to find the "love" which seems easy, right? It would have been if it wasn't for the fact that she vanished into thin air one night years ago. Her part was forgotten by many. But for some, it was only the beginning.
