It all started with a little first-year crush on him which turned out to be an addictive obsession. She did not know if it was love, but then she got her answer when the Dark Mark appeared on her left arm.

Elara Vale never intended to fall in love with Tom Riddle. Quiet, observant, and fiercely intelligent, she thought her years at Hogwarts would be defined by books, ambition, and the occasional whispered mystery in the dark. But everything changes when she crosses paths with the brilliant and magnetic Tom-handsome, impossibly composed, and harboring secrets far deeper than anyone dares to imagine. As their bond deepens from academic curiosity to something far more dangerous, Elara is drawn into Tom's ever-expanding circle of influence-a group of charismatic students with chilling loyalties and whispered ambitions. Together, they navigate exams, ancient magic, and growing unrest within the wizarding world. But what begins as infatuation slowly spirals into something else: a love that entangles her, a power that isolates her, and a darkness that demands more than she ever meant to give. Torn between the promise of belonging and the instincts urging her to run, Elara must decide how far she's willing to follow the boy who would become a legend-and what pieces of herself she's willing to sacrifice in the name of love. A slow-burn descent into obsession, manipulation, and twisted devotion, this is not a fairytale romance. It's the beginning of something far more dangerous.

Ivory has never relied on anybody-anything. Not even her own mother. The same mother who forced her into a life she never deserved. But there's no backing out now. The assassin's life is all she's ever known, ever since childhood. Her mother made sure of that. Trouble finds Ivory like a vine-wrapping, twisting, never letting go. Spreading like a virus. Trouble finds her most when she discovers she's the bastard child of the Italian Mafia Don. When she meets him and his family-his wife and five sons-she realizes her life is no longer hers to control. And she hates that. It only worsens when her knight in shining armor reveals himself to be the devil in sheep's clothing. Satan himself, if you will. A new country. A new household. A new family. New friends gained, old ones lost. How is she supposed to cope? Especially when stormy eyes follow her everywhere. But that's not quite what scares her. What terrifies her is the way he watches-not with the same disdain he gives everyone else, but with interest. With wonder. For her and her alone. You know what they all say; curiosity kills the cat. But satisfaction brought it back.

Thalia Graves is a Ravenclaw with secrets - sharp-witted, fiercely independent, and not easily intimidated. Tom Riddle, with his dark charm and calculating gaze, leads a close-knit circle of friends: Rosier, Malfoy, Dolohov, and Avery. Tom navigates Hogwarts with an iron will and a dangerous possessiveness. Then there is a bold Gryffindor boy who doesn't shy away from showing his interest in Thalia. As the autumn leaves fall and Hallow's Eve draws near, a tangled web of jealousy, desire, and rivalry pulls them closer - threatening to burn everything to ash. Enemies to lovers? Maybe. Dark secrets? Definitely. --- The corridor was quiet except for the faint echo of footsteps. Tom's voice cut through the silence. "You think you can just walk away." Thalia turned, meeting his dark eyes without flinching. "I'm not walking anywhere." A ghost of a smile tugged at his lips. "Good. Because some things - and some people - aren't meant to be left behind." Her breath caught, heart racing with a storm she no longer wanted to escape.

The 'effects' of Tom's influence become apperent later in the book, so the emotional conflicts/thoughts start later too. ♡ Cross posted on ao3. ♡ I don't claim the Harry Potter characters in any way, the only thing I claim is the plot, some OC's and this, like my other books, are not made to make money off of them. ♡ I'm firmly against using AI for bookwriting as it takes away from the whole creativity standpoint. So you don't have to worry about that in any of my books. ♡ This book is very fucking long lol so just be aware. *~*~* Highest ranked: #1 in manipulation #1 in sociopath
