At Hogwarts, Professor Eliza Riddle carries a name steeped in legend-and darkness. Once bound by love to the boy who would become Lord Voldemort, Eliza has spent years hiding her past behind quiet lessons and watchful eyes. But when her students begin to ask questions-especially a curious fifth-year named Harry Potter-Eliza's carefully guarded secrets start to unravel. As whispers of Voldemort's return stir fear across the wizarding world, Eliza is drawn back into the shadows she left behind. Old alliances are rekindled, the Knights of Riddle gather once more, and the castle prepares for war. Caught between duty and desire, between the students she's sworn to protect and the man who once held her heart, Eliza must make an impossible choice. In the final battle, where love and loyalty are tested and the fate of magic hangs in the balance, Eliza discovers that even the darkest soul may carry a flicker of light-and sometimes, the greatest weapon isn't power, but love. Hauntingly romantic and rich with lore, this is the untold story of the woman who loved Tom Riddle-and what happened when he loved her back.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes

When River crosses paths with a man who speaks to every hidden hunger inside her, their connection spirals into an all-consuming pull neither of them can resist-but is she Grayson's salvation... or his ruin? *** Everyone in River Avelle's hometown knows about Grayson Maddox-the troubled bad boy who almost killed another student in the middle of the school hallway. Those who look into Grayson's eyes only see pure fury and hatred. They all think he's beyond redemption, even Grayson himself. But not River. As the seemingly perfect good girl, River saw something more in those alluring grey eyes. Something worth holding onto. From the first time their eyes connect, both Grayson and River feel the intense, undeniable attraction between them...but neither of them understand what's pulling them together so fiercely. The closer they get and the more vulnerable they become, River has to wonder: is she saving Grayson from his darkness? Or is she just pulling him further into hers? *** He tips my head toward his with his index finger, keeping my eyes trained on him and driving me crazy with the primal look on his face. His grey eyes look heavy, filled with dark desire, and a shock runs up through my core. Everything around us disappears and all I can sense is him and the hardness pressing between my legs. "What are you doing to me, River?" he whispers, his voice raspy and utterly captivated. His face is lowering and I'm closing my eyes, waiting for soft lips to press against mine. My whole body is on fire as I hold my breath for his touch. *** Cover by @strayin

Two years felt like a lifetime, and I was filled with anticipation to reunite with my best friend. However, when our eyes met, I realized something was terribly wrong. The boy who used to have a kind and gentle spirit, who once believed in compassion and empathy, was now someone unrecognizable. He had transformed into a person capable of great cruelty. He had killed those who trusted him, and the smile he gave me was chilling, void of remorse, as if he hadn't committed the heinous acts he was accused of. My heart ached with disgust and sorrow. How could the person I admired so deeply become a monster? The Rishi I knew was gone, replaced by someone who had lost his way. He was no longer the confidant with whom I shared my dreams and fears. He is not the same Rishi Ranawat I knew. Started on: 20/03/25 Ended on: Copyright ©️2025
