At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, danger comes in many forms - curses, hexes, and heartbreak alike. In her sixth year, seventeen-year-old Sienna Thorne finds herself caught in a storm of secrets, rumors, and forbidden desires. The newly appointed Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Tom Riddle, is as captivating as he is cruel - a brilliant, unflinching figure with a dark reputation and a stricter set of rules than any professor before him. While most students whisper about his past and admire his cold perfection from afar, Sienna begins to spiral into something far more dangerous - an obsession she can't control. Haunted by unsettling, intimate dreams and drawn in by Riddle's sharp, merciless charm, Sienna is forced to navigate the thin line between fascination and fear. As tension rises within her tight-knit group of Slytherin friends, old rivalries ignite, and dangerous secrets emerge. Every glance, every word from Riddle feels like a test, and Sienna quickly realizes that nothing at Hogwarts - not even her own thoughts - are safe anymore.
