Lord Voldemort stared at the cradle where there was not one, but two children where he had only been expecting one. He leaned forward, eyes narrowed. "Which one of you... is my supposed death?" Or Albus Dumbledore's warnings came to fruition. (Originally posted on AO3, but I thought I'd start posting it here too!)

"Look me in the eye and tell me you hate me, you can't, can you love?" Assigned the nearly impossible task of infiltrating Tom Riddle's inner circle, Rosalie Grindelwald develops a strong disdain for Tom and his calculated exterior when she figures out that Tom harbours a desire to conquer the world in his darkness. However, the lines between duty and desire blur as Tom and Rosalie find themselves drawn to each other, with Tom fuelled by possession and obsession.

"TO LOVE HIM WAS TO BECOME IN HIS IMAGE, NOT A WORSHIPPER BUT A TWIN FLAME." Merope Eloween Potter is the eldest daughter of Lily and James Potter, and the older sister of Harry. Also known as the girl who survived, Merope holds this title for reasons far different ── and far darker ── than her brother's, reasons no one truly understands until the very end. What no one can deny is the unsettling resemblance between Merope and Tom Riddle ── not just in appearance, but in mind, in ambition, in the eerie stillness behind their eyes. That silent, inevitable connection shapes everything she becomes. And one day, fate, in all its cruel irony, brings Merope face-to-face with Tom Riddle ── the man who murdered her parents and the greatest enemy of her little brother. And from that moment on, nothing is ever the same.

"HE THOUGHT HE WAS ALONE. BUT IN HIS DARKEST IMAGE, SHE WAS ALREADY THERE." In 1943, Hogwarts receives a transfer student from Koldovstoretz, the oldest and most obscure school of magic in Eastern Europe. Her name is Alevtina Vasiliyevna Koldova ── pure-blood, heir to the founder Vasiliyzia Koldova, and a direct descendant of one of the school's four original houses. Raised under the tutelage of cold and severe parents, Merope was shaped to command, not to adapt. Trained in ancient rituals and raw magic, based on blood, silence, and control, she had already reached a quiet position of power within Koldovstoretz, manipulating groups of students, building alliances, creating influence. But Russia was too small. And now, her eyes are set on the West. Alevtina transfers to Hogwarts with a single purpose: to expand. She didn't come to learn. She came to observe, conquer, and dominate ── slowly, like one who poisons a well. It is there that she meets Tom Marvolo Riddle. Another prodigy, an orphan, another threat. The two share the same vision of the future. A new wizarding world, built on pure blood and absolute control. But there is only room for one at the top. Between rivalry, tense silences, veiled control, and strategic distrust, an inevitable tension arises. Enemies to something else. Perhaps power. Perhaps ruin. Perhaps both.

In their 6th year at Hogwarts, the Knights of Walpurgis are a tight-knit, dangerous group of Slytherins, bound by ambition, loyalty, and the growing darkness of the wizarding world. Among them is Tom Riddle, the charismatic and calculating leader, whose obsession with power is only rivaled by his need to control everything around him. When Cordelia, a brilliant, sarcastic Ravenclaw Prefect, catches their attention, everything changes. Initially dismissed as just another clever student, Cordelia finds herself entangled with Tom and the Knights in ways she never expected. Unraveling the truth about Tom's dark past and the secrets he's desperately trying to hide, Cordelia's moral compass and sharp intellect set her on a dangerous path-a path that will force her to confront not just Tom's monstrous ambitions, but her own heart. As Tom's obsession with Cordelia grows, so does his influence over her. Torn between her growing feelings for him and the horrifying truth about his involvement in Myrtle's death, Cordelia is thrust into a slow-burning game of manipulation, loyalty, and power.

Tom Marvolo Riddle x OC There was once a boy who was feared by all. A boy with dark, fathomless eyes and a mind sharper than any blade. A boy who walked the halls of Hogwarts like a king without a crown-powerful, untouchable, unkillable. And then there was her. Catherine Valentine. The golden girl of Hufflepuff. Sweet, soft-spoken, endlessly kind. A girl who smiled like sunlight and carried warmth in her touch. A girl adored by all, yet one who had eyes only for him-the boy who was too cold to feel, too ruthless to love. For years, he had watched her from the shadows. For years, he had longed for the impossible-to reach for something pure, something good, something he was never meant to have. And for years, she had watched him back. She saw what no one else did. Not the monster. Not the demon. But the boy beneath the cold exterior. And she loved him. For eternity. For forever. And forever - was exactly what he had always wanted.
