"my bones are stained with sins, scorched from fires, broken by betrayal, cold in loneliness, soaked in blood, and still we keep fighting." ~ Kenna Karamakov is just trying to leave. Leave the family home she grew up in that was never really hers, leave the school she never belonged to and leave her own mind. However, she still has two more years at Hogwarts and hopes they go along fast. But Kenna never gets what she hopes for. When Dumbledore offers her a proposition she can't resist, Kenna is thrown into the twisted world of Tom Marvolo Riddle. Kenna soon learns that once you get into the mind of the dark orphan, it's near impossible to get out. Yet, does she want to get out? Or has she finally found someone who carves darkness as much as her?

Ophelia wasn't who she claimed. She had a secret. A secret that could get her killed, hunted like an animal by just about every witch and wizard in the world seeking leverage or revenge against a certain... someone. Concealing a secret that so blatantly revealed itself in her appearance was no easy task, but, aided by Dumbledore and a carefully crafted act of mediocrity, she managed to get by unnoticed for years at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, until accidentally crossing paths with the one person perceptive enough to see the cracks in her facade and curious enough to look for more. Tom Riddle's intrusive nature was going to ruin everything she'd worked for if she wasn't careful, and she had a lot more to worry about than simply being expelled... *formerly titled RIDDLE

Evangeline Lily Potter has spent her whole life being exactly who everyone expects her to be. Harry Potter's twin sister. Top of her year. The girl who always has a sarcastic answer. She's clever enough to outsmart most people, stubborn enough to argue with the rest, and sarcastic enough to pretend none of it bothers her. It does. Especially when everyone insists she's just the other Potter. So when Hogwarts welcomes a new transfer in sixth year, she's fully prepared to hate him. Mattheo Riddle. Son of the Dark Lord. Quiet. Infuriating. Entirely too calm for someone with such an enormous ego. He always has an answer. Usually one she wants to hex him for. If Eva had a Galleon for every time he annoyed her, she'd probably own Hogwarts by Christmas. Their first conversation nearly ends in a duel. The second isn't much better. Then their private Defence lessons begin. Ancient magic starts reacting to them. Every lesson leaves Eva with more questions than answers. And a Professor seems far too interested in her magic, and Mattheo always knows something he shouldn't. He lies too easily. She notices too much. And neither of them can decide which is more irritating. As secrets buried long before they were born begin to surface, Evangeline finds herself chasing a truth that someone is desperate to keep hidden-even if it means trusting the one person she swore she'd never stand beside. Some legacies are inherited. Others are written in blood. "A love story that was never supposed to happen."

Centuries ago, there were five founders of Hogwarts. The fifth, Valerie Virelion, was the most powerful of them all, her magic bound by dragon's breath. But her gift became her curse. Feared for her strength and the recklessness of her followers, her house was sealed away and her name erased from history. Until now. When 17 year old Valerie awakens in a world, the year is 1995 - and as the wizarding world denies the return of Voldemort, the Order of the Phoenix is rising once more. As darkness spreads, Dumbledore hides her true identity, passing her off as a transfer student. But as Valerie learns to live among the students, she begins to uncover the truth behind her return and the ancient magic that refuses to let her go. In the shadows of the mountains, lies a dragon waiting for its rider. But the greatest threat isn't the magic hunting her. It's him. The son of the man she swore to destroy. And the one she cannot seem to stay away from. ______ "I think of you often and it disgusts me," he said, his gaze fixed somewhere just over her shoulder like he couldn't bear to look at her "You're like a bad dream I can't seem to escape. Every room I walk into, every thought I try to have, somehow you're there ruining it." His jaw tightened. "And the worst part is, I think I'd tear this entire castle apart before I let anything happen to you. You are the most infuriating person I have ever met. You argue with me like you want a war, you look at me like you're waiting for me to become a monster-" "Because you are one." "Maybe," he said quietly. "But you're the first person who's ever made me care whether I am." "Do you think I want this?" Valerie demanded "Do you think I enjoy the fact that somehow you're in every thought I have too? I should hate you, Riddle. You're arrogant, cruel, manipulative-every single thing I was taught to stay away from" Her voice dropped quieter then. "And somehow, despite all of that, you're still the first person I look for"
