The candles burned blue the night magic changed forever. Before there was a Dark Lord, there was a circle. Not of followers-but of believers. They were the heirs of ancient houses. The last guardians of bloodlines older than Hogwarts itself. And they were afraid. Afraid of a world slipping from their grasp. Afraid of extinction. Afraid of him. Tom Riddle did not ask for loyalty. He offered purpose. Behind locked doors and whispered oaths, the Knights of Walpurgis rose-not as servants, but as architects of a new order. Each bound by magic. Each hiding secrets sharp enough to destroy them all. But power demands a price. And when the masks fall, not all Knights will survive the brotherhood they swore to. Some will become legends. Some will become monsters. And one... will become something worse.

"Play with me woman, it won't bring you love." Before fifth year starts a mother takes pity for the fifteen year old boy and the family decides to adopt the boy. In a new environment could potentially lead the boy's fate to a different course, wouldn't it? Or would it lead him a route where he would actually be successful in his dark plans?

-No sabía que Hogwarts había empezado a aceptar acompañantes innecesarios -dijo Riddle, sin alzar la vista del libro. Aubrey arqueó una ceja. -¿Perdón? -Nada -respondió él, pasando la página-. Solo pensaba en voz alta. Abraxas dio un paso al frente. -Riddle- -No -lo interrumpió Aubrey con calma-. Déjalo terminar. Me interesa saber por qué crees que soy innecesaria. Tom alzó la vista lentamente, evaluándola por primera vez. -Porque no aportas nada -dijo con frialdad-. No todo el mundo aquí está destinado a dejar huella. Aubrey sonrió, educada, peligrosa. -Curioso. Tú hablas mucho de destinos... para alguien que no tiene uno claro. El ambiente se tensó de inmediato. Tom cerró el libro despacio. -No juegues a adivinar lo que no entiendes. -No adivino -respondió ella-. Observo. Y hasta ahora, solo veo a alguien que necesita convencer al mundo de que importa. Los ojos de Tom brillaron, oscuros. -Te vas a arrepentir de eso. Aubrey sostuvo su mirada. -Entonces será interesante.
