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.

It took one small secret for my entire life to be torn apart. New school. New friends. New enemies. A completely different life. A life from which I was 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯 from. I was plucked out of my Aunt's hell and tossed away into a new one. Just the demons in here are called the elites with fancier mansions. Alexander Solovoyo. The devil himself. Their leader. He seems to hate me more than my own brothers. He believes he can bend me, break me, make me bow like a pawn in his chess game. And he wants - he gets. Only, they've never met Vanessa De Luca. Get ready because I've been through hell and back, and I don't plan on returning there anytime soon.
