Tom Riddle, an abandoned child of fate, grows up in a place of neglect and resentment. As he navigates a world that never seemed to care for him, his heart hardens, his mind sharpens, and his soul becomes consumed by anger. But beneath the cold exterior lies the question: could he ever find love? Could he let go of the bitterness that has defined his life? Or is redemption simply beyond his grasp, lost to the darkness that threatens to consume him? This is the story of a boy who never knew kindness-will he ever learn to embrace it, or is he destined to be the monster the world fears?

When Evelyn returned for her Fifth Year at Hogwarts, she expected everything to be the same. But when Dumbledore gives her a task to infiltrate Tom Riddle's gang, to steer him from his current path, she finds herself drowning in dark magic, surrounded by a boy with a constant masquerade. ---- Unravelled is the sequel to this book and is currently up on my profile. This has also been rewritten so I advise reading BOTH the rewrites rather than this! written in 2016 briefly edited in 2018/9

"I was reaching for stars that didn't exist, caught up in the fantasies born of willful hope. I threw myself in the path of fate because I wanted to be swept away." ... We do stupid, stupid things in the name of those we love. We dedicate ourselves to false promises and we hope that in the end, it all turns out alright. I was never the kind of person who jumped into things without thinking about the consequences. I never dreamed of what could come from some silly mistakes. Two new students come for their 6th year at Hogwarts. Neither of them particularly want to be there. What havoc could a witch and a dark wizard bring to the year? As they both become frustratingly curious about each other, things fall in place that might never have occurred if they had just never met. ... So I started this book because I was bored, and now it's kind of my life accomplishment weirdly enough. It's not perfect and definitely not what it started out as but this fic has parts of my heart and soul in it and I'm proud of how far it's come. Contains toxic but also lovable Mattheo Riddle and an emotionally relatable mc. !!!Finished updating but still doing some editing!!! *WARNING* Contains violence, sexual content, swearing, mentions of abuse, death and possibly more. *I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters, Mattheo Riddle belongs to @yasmineamara, I only own my own characters. Happy reading

"Do you know who I am?" He whispered huskily against my ear as he held me by my collar in attempt to intimidate me "No and neither do I care."

"I'm sorry, thanks for the offer. But I'm not being your girlfriend." "Pretend." "What?" "Not my real one you twit. Just like a fake one." He shrugs, as if it's the most casual thing to say. "You must be insane." "That I am." ˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚ Both Camila Dobrev and Mattheo Riddle promised to follow the most important rule - "Don't fall in love." This idea of fake dating benefited the both of them in many ways, but is it inevitable that true feelings will arise from this pretend relationship? Or will they forever be frenemies?

Lyra Blackwood has always lived in the shadows, hiding a deadly secret that could change everything. After years of being homeschooled and isolated, she steps into the chaos of Hogwarts, where every move she makes feels like a risk. Powerful, feared, and untouchable, she's determined to keep her secret buried - until a familiar face resurfaces. Mattheo Riddle, the son of Voldemort, once shared a fleeting connection with Lyra. Now, their reunion is nothing like the past. Both have changed - cold, calculating, and dangerous. When Mattheo is tasked with bringing Lyra to his father, the lines between duty and desire blur. As tensions rise, Lyra is faced with a choice: fight to keep her secret safe, or flee before the darkness consumes her. In a world of betrayal and lies, the only thing more dangerous than the truth... is the love that could destroy them both.

She was the secret he would never tell. Since childhood, he had a plan for world domination, yet, she stumbled across his path as the unexpected variable that he had never previously considered. She awakened the part of him that he never even realized existed, yet, he never showed her mercy. She was the constant fire, burning to melt the glaciers he built. She was the sinking ship, destroying her own grandeur so she could kiss the sand at the bottom of his stormy seas. She was an angel, content to be condemned to hell as long as he was right beside her.
