Tom Sr. took care of Tom instead of leaving. In this case, Merope stopped giving Tom Sr the potion just after she gave birth. Same as is in the canon, she died after birth but this time, it was due to an untreated Dragon Pox. Tom Sr snapped back to reality and boom, he was stuck with a child, the unfortunate result of his trauma. The only reason why he didn't give it up is because it looked so much like him. He went to explain his situation with his family, thinking he was getting justice and support, but his parents kicked him out for the sake of the Riddle reputation and since Tom Sr's reputation had already been damaged from a year of being influenced by Merope, he had no connections left to rely on. Now Tom Sr and Baby Tom lived in a small cottage. Tom Sr was working as a Mechanic to make a living for the baby while trying to be a father aswell but it's a struggling battle for Tom Sr since this baby was a r@pe baby. Tom jr will also be heavily affected by this, meaning his personality stays as is.. Or does it?

The world holds mysteries-both its own and ours. But if no one knows ours... is it still a mystery? Tom Riddle was born into this world with hope shining in his mother's eyes. Namiya was not. Tom Riddle grew into a natural leader. Even as a child, no one could cross him without consequence. He fought. He redirected. He willed. When the two meet, it isn't by design. It is fate-refusing to repeat the same cycle. If you wish to stop a burning fire, you cannot simply drown it. You must wait, watch-and make sure it does no harm. What keeps them together is not kindness. It is curiosity. And what separates them does not exist, not until one of them decides it does. ••• Fair warning here my darlings, there will be underage sex.

SECOND BOOK OF THE SEVEN DEVILS. [warnings: eventual smut•death•violence•possibly disturbing scenes•dark magic•religious themes] One year and a half after her departure, Varya Petrov is still fighting against time itself. With Grindelwald's attacks on Hogwarts becoming more and more aggressive, there is only a matter of time before the war is lost. Varya has been assigned one task- find the remaining Deathly Hallows and protect them from Grindelwald. With a team of extraordinary witches and wizards, she sets out to track the Cloak of Invisibility and the Resurrection Stone. One of them, however, happens to be at Hogwarts, at the hands of infamous Tom Riddle. Her journey is not as easy as she would have thought, because with Hogwarts under lockdown and a battle looming over their heads, reuniting with the Knights might not be what she had expected. cover by @supremegae

In the shadowed halls of Hogwarts, a new student arrives-Natalie, a girl gifted with ancient magic that hasn't been seen in centuries. Her arrival sparks whispers, curiosity, and unease, but nothing could prepare the school-or a certain enigmatic student-for the force she carries within her. At just sixteen, Tom Riddle is already charming, cunning, and quietly dangerous. When he crosses paths with Natalie, he senses a power that could shape the future. But a prophecy hangs over her head: "Bound to the Dark Lord, the one who masters death." As secrets unravel, loyalties are tested, and dark desires stir, Natalie must navigate a world of hidden magic, manipulation, and the fine line between ally and enemy. Will her ancient gift be the key to defeating darkness-or the very force that binds her to it? Dark. Mysterious. Forbidden. Bound is a spellbinding tale of power, prophecy, and the dangerous allure of destiny.

COMPLETE 18+ In 1926, Grindelwald is captured for the first time by Newt Scamander, making his followers go into hiding. The Petrov family, an ancient pure-blood eastern European family, is forced to flee to Romania while chased by the Ministry of Magic. While waiting for Grindlewald's return, the family has their first daughter, Varya Petrov. Soon after, her parents are killed by Grindleward's enemies. After attending Scholomance, a small magic school hidden in the depths of Transylvania's forests, for four years, she is called to Hogwarts. Dumbledore has a mission that only she will be capable to do: to stop Tom Riddle from succumbing to his darkest desire. Varya only has one wish: to redeem her parents' mistakes and find her place in the wizarding world. She will do anything to achieve it, even if it means changing the devil's fate. cover by @supremegae

"In a world of whispered secrets and broken vows, a Raven dares to outwit the Serpent." Tom's eyes flicked almost lazily to the tip of her wand, and his lips curved in something dangerously close to a smile. His eyes moved back to her face. "Still so quick to defend yourself, Travers," he said, almost fondly. "Tell me what you're doing," she said through her teeth. He crouched, picked up a stone from the forest floor, and stood. "Answer a question for me, Selene," he said. "What are your favorite flowers?" She narrowed her eyes. "Why?" He just looked at her. And in turn, she glared at him, refusing to answer. But the answer bloomed in her thoughts anyway-quiet, unbidden. Peonies. He nodded once, almost as if he had heard her thoughts, and raised his wand over the stone. His lips moved, barely audible, a soft and intricate spell she didn't recognize. And before her eyes, the rock bloomed. Selene Evangeline Travers has never been one to seek attention. A pureblood in Ravenclaw, she has learned to navigate the expectations placed upon her-an unwanted engagement, a carefully crafted future. Tom Marvolo Riddle is the name spoken in whispers. Brilliant, untouchable, and ruthless, he moves through Hogwarts like a king among men. No one questions him. No one dares to. Their paths should never have crossed. But when Professor Slughorn assigns Tom as her tutor, Selene is drawn-unintentionally-into the sights of someone who does not take kindly to surprises. And Tom Riddle does not let go of what intrigues him. ----- The detailed description is available inside the book's Prologue. ----- Highest Rankings: #1 in riddle #1 in darklord #1 in pureblood #1 in wizardingworld #1 in salazar #1 in voldemort #1 in jkrowling #1 in tomriddle #1 in salazarslytherin #1 in horcrux #1 in tommarvoloriddle #1 in slytherin #1 in hogwarts #1 in heir
