Voldemort intended the object to be used by his most loyal follower in the event that his horcruxes were destroyed, but it ended up in Hermione's possession instead. She knows she has to kill him. Steal his horcruxes. Destroy him. But Tom Riddle isn't who she thought he was. Hermione discovers it's a dark descent into the madness of the man she should hate, but can't. When she realizes Tom Riddle's soul is half of her own, she knows she can't destroy him. To kill him would be to destroy herself. There simply has to be another way.

-BEAUTIFUL COVER ART BY @avendellart ON IG Ivy Cornell is entering her 5th year at Hogwarts as a new transfer student from America. Making new friends and enemies Ivy learns about secrets from her past and what the future may hold for her. All the while she meets and grows close with two boys. One a red-headed prankster and the other a platinum blonde haired boy harboring dark secrets. Over Ivy's two very eventful years at Hogwarts she will learn to deal with grief, loss, and regret. But in the end who will she choose...peppermint or cinnamon? -NONE OF THESE CHARACTERS BELONG TO ME EXCEPT MY OC AND HER FAMILY/FRIENDS! They all belong to J.K. Rowling (even though we hate her and we all know Dobby wrote the books) -There are some mature themes and if any chapters contain any I will always put trigger warnings at the start of the chapter:)) -This story and its events mostly follow the main storyline of the books; there are some things that I have changed up a bit (dates, characters, objects, events, character deaths, ect.) -⚠️TW⚠️ some context of verbal abuse/assault/sexual assault/ -Years 5-7 and a little post-war -Make sure to comment and vote to support my story!! -Hope you enjoy it
