Lysandra Blackthorn is everything her family expects her to be - pure-blooded, poised, and patient. The only thing she hasn't given them yet is the Dark Mark, and time is running out. Her twin brother Lazarus already bears it. So does every person she's ever known. The Blackthorn name doesn't produce hesitation - it produces soldiers. Then Lazarus nearly dies on a Death Eater mission, and the person who pulls him out isn't family. It's Mattheo Riddle. Voldemort's son. Her brother's closest friend. The most dangerous boy in Hogwarts and the one person Lysandra has successfully avoided making an enemy of - until she tries to thank him, and he makes it very clear he'd rather she didn't. What follows is a war conducted entirely in cold looks and sharp words across corridors, classrooms, and every shared space Theodore Nott gleefully engineers between them. Mattheo is cruel the way only someone hiding something can be. Lysandra is patient the way only someone raised among wolves learns to be. But sixth year bleeds into seventh, the real war bleeds into the walls of Hogwarts itself, and somewhere between the debt she never asked to carry and the boy who keeps pretending she doesn't matter - something shifts. The problem isn't falling for him. The problem is that loving Mattheo Riddle and becoming her family's obedient soldier are two things that cannot exist in the same person at the same time. And she's running out of room to be both.

In a day and age where the dark lord has taken over, and his power and authority reigns over all - he has yet one more task to accomplish, marriage. Deciding for a marriage of convenience with only one goal in mind of producing an heir, Tom will now have to navigate marriage with a young woman from the infamous pure-blood family, the Shadows. In return, Mari Shadow, will have to navigate a new life, no longer in the safety of her home, shielded by her parents but instead - having to face the devil himself in his human form.

(n.) Aberration- something that differs from the norm. She was his ABERRATION. Tom could not get the ambitious but enigmatic Ravenclaw out of his wretched head. He swore that he would find her in every universe, every life and every reality because she was his and only his. If he had just known that he was a milestone to someone else's story, he would have tried harder to make his own story with her. He would always find her again. "A sky full of stars and he was staring solely at her"

BOOK ONE He was a monster. A marvellous monster.

Voldemort intended the object to be used by his most loyal follower in the event that his horcruxes were destroyed, but it ended up in Hermione's possession instead. She knows she has to kill him. Steal his horcruxes. Destroy him. But Tom Riddle isn't who she thought he was. Hermione discovers it's a dark descent into the madness of the man she should hate, but can't. When she realizes Tom Riddle's soul is half of her own, she knows she can't destroy him. To kill him would be to destroy herself. There simply has to be another way.

BOOK ONE In the throes of the second wizarding war, Delilah Meddows is killed by no other than Lord Voldemort.

"You can love a monster, it can even love you back, but that doesn't change its nature." Tom riddle did love. Only once. Tom and Adelaide were the only ones for each other. They were perfect because Adelaide was blinded by love and so was unable to see the monster he truly was. "Are you coming to dinner, Lord Voldemort?" She asked with a half smirk. He pulled her up from the seat. Let's go my dark lady." He said, causing Adelaide to grin and continue to fall hopelessly in love with the monster at her side.

Olivia Ramirez gets set a task by Dumbledore. And it sounds simple. But he's not.

"From a very young age he realized it was good to have someone to vouch for you, to believe you were good - especially if you enjoyed doing bad things." Tom Riddle couldn't love. There was no changing that, but was it possible for someone to love a boy as twisted as Tom? Gwyn Phi loved Tom Riddle all her life, from infants in one crib to the day he left for Hogwarts and never truly came back. From Wools Orphanage to the Battle of Hogwarts, Gwyn and Tom's relationship set an unimaginable story in motion, touching lives across decades. One Muggle girl can't change Tom Riddle - but he sure did change her. A NOTE: This book was started before "The Cursed Child", and will continue as I had planned it before the play came out.
