── .✦ 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐘 | ❝If love is an ocean, then he is the current beneath my feet, and I am the lighthouse waiting for him through every dark night.❞ 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 mattheo riddle falls for the girl who swore she would never let him have her ...𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 ⤷ ❝I swear it on my immortal soul. ⟡ ⟡ If he wants someone... he can take me. But he doesn't get you. Never you.❞ Isabella Mulciber always knew where she stood in life. As daughter to a convicted Death Eater, students in Hogwarts always had opinions on her life, and who would grow up to be. She carries herself with effortless confidence, a hidden spark for chaos and recklessness, and the inconvenient habit of being willing to risk everything for the people she loves. Mattheo Riddle, the infamous son of Voldemort. Life at Hogwarts for him could only be described in one word: inconsistent. Chaos seemed to follow him and his friends through their years at Hogwarts, judgment lingered each time he entered a room, and expectations had been placed on him since the day he'd been born. On the outside, he seems like a typical 'bad-boy' who reshaped himself to align with the stereotypes everyone created for him. Spoiler alert... he isn't. Their friendship had always been complicated. Years one through four were childish: served detentions, pranks, friendship complications. Though one thing had always been clear: Isabella and Mattheo would always harbour trust and loyalty to each other. However, all they shared ceased to exist during a reckless night in fourth year, which forever changed everything. Now in fifth year, darkness is brewing behind walls, friendships are tested, and a girl who swore she would never allow him again, found herself doing just that. 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐨 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐱 𝐟𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐜 Fifth year builds them. Sixth year destroys them. Seventh year pushes them to a point of no return.

Centuries ago, there were five founders of Hogwarts. The fifth, Valerie Virelion, was the most powerful of them all, her magic bound by dragon's breath. But her gift became her curse. Feared for her strength and the recklessness of her followers, her house was sealed away and her name erased from history. Until now. When 17 year old Valerie awakens in a world, the year is 1995 - and as the wizarding world denies the return of Voldemort, the Order of the Phoenix is rising once more. As darkness spreads, Dumbledore hides her true identity, passing her off as a transfer student. But as Valerie learns to live among the students, she begins to uncover the truth behind her return and the ancient magic that refuses to let her go. In the shadows of the mountains, lies a dragon waiting for its rider. But the greatest threat isn't the magic hunting her. It's him. The son of the man she swore to destroy. And the one she cannot seem to stay away from. ______ "I think of you often and it disgusts me," he said, his gaze fixed somewhere just over her shoulder like he couldn't bear to look at her "You're like a bad dream I can't seem to escape. Every room I walk into, every thought I try to have, somehow you're there ruining it." His jaw tightened. "And the worst part is, I think I'd tear this entire castle apart before I let anything happen to you. You are the most infuriating person I have ever met. You argue with me like you want a war, you look at me like you're waiting for me to become a monster-" "Because you are one." "Maybe," he said quietly. "But you're the first person who's ever made me care whether I am." "Do you think I want this?" Valerie demanded "Do you think I enjoy the fact that somehow you're in every thought I have too? I should hate you, Riddle. You're arrogant, cruel, manipulative-every single thing I was taught to stay away from" Her voice dropped quieter then. "And somehow, despite all of that, you're still the first person I look for"

Mattheo gripped her wrists, not to pull her closer, but to hold her at bay. His knuckles were white. "Consider me dead." He whispered, his eyes swimming with a pain so deep it looked like drowning. "Because I would rather you hate me and be alive than love me and be buried. Next year... there is no 'us.'" He let go of her wrists as if her skin had burned him. The silence that followed was heavier than the shouting, the kind of silence that happens right after a fuse has run out, but before the world actually ends. "You're a coward." She whispered, the word hit him harder than the shove did after he had let go of her wrists. Her eyes were burning with unshed tears. "You're so fucking afraid of losing me that you're willing to get yourself killed." Mattheo flinched as if she'd slapped him. For a second, the boy she loved flickered in his eyes, longing, desperate, and terrified. Then, his expression went dead. The shutters came down, leaving him looking like a marble statue of a prince who had already lost his kingdom. "Call me whatever you want." He said, his voice terrifyingly calm. "But stay away from me. If you see me in the corridors, turn around. If I look at you, look away. From this moment on, I don't know you." He turned to leave, his cloak billowing behind him like a funeral shroud. The explosives had gone off, just like they always did between them. But this time, there was no smoke to clear, no thrill in the aftermath. There was only the smell of burnt air and the realization that Parker was standing in the middle of a ruin he had built as an attempt to keep her from harm.
