There is one rumor among the Death Eaters that must never be spoken aloud. Certainly not among the Dark Lord. Rumors circulate that long ago, there lived a girl who could have changed Lord Voldemort's fate. They say that in every rumor, there's a grain of truth, but also a grain of falsehood. Apparently, it was so long ago that all they know is that the girl had a personality as light as a flower petal, a heart as large as a lake, and an even greater naivety. No one is allowed to speak about her out loud. There is no written rule, but everyone knows not to even think about a girl without even a name. Lord Voldemort made sure of that. ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ Current word count: 461 330

― "You are my ruin - and my salvation." ― Lilith Vale was born different - too sharp, too cold, and far too powerful for someone so young. Raised on dark magic and haunted by her father's death, she's spent her life searching for the spell that destroyed him... and nearly took her with it. Now in her final year at Hogwarts, she wears the badge of Head Girl like a mask. To the rest of the school, she's brilliant, distant, untouchable. But underneath, Lilith is spiraling - unraveling under the weight of secrets, survivor's guilt, and a hunger for knowledge that no book seems able to satisfy. Then comes him.. Tom Riddle - charming, calculated, and dangerously intelligent. He's the only one who sees her as more than a quiet storm. And the only one whose mind she can't seem to read. He wants to know what she's hiding. She wants to know why he's watching. Their connection is a game of power and proximity. A cold war wrapped in stolen glances and veiled threats. But something dark is stirring at Hogwarts - students are disappearing, ancient symbols are resurfacing, and Lilith is getting too close to the truth. To the truth about her father. To the truth about Tom. And to the truth about herself. Because some magic isn't meant to be studied. Some obsessions aren't meant to be survived. And some love stories are written only to end in destruction. ☽｡⋆

War. They had dragged her into it, wrapped her in prophecy, and painted her as some messiah with a target on her back, all to clean up their mess. She was supposed to fight their battles, die their hero, and leave the world tidily saved. But Alexandrina Potter didn't give a damn about anyone's savior fantasies anymore. It should have ended. She did her duty, paid in scars and losses, and tried to make her peace. Yet here she was, tossed back nearly three decades by a smugly amused Lord Death, dumped into the year 1958 with a son she'd kept hidden from the world and a blood-adopted daughter who carried a legacy darker than any shadow she'd ever faced. Thomas Alexander Potter, three years old, bright-eyed, her heart's calm anchor. And Delphini Lilith Potter, fierce, sharp, and bound to her not by fate but by Alexandrina's own stubborn defiance of it. They were hers, and damn it, that meant something. Her goals were simple, if slightly ambitious: avoid meddling wizards, rewrite the future, and raise her children without the looming threat of war breathing down their necks. Shouldn't be too hard, right? She'd already defeated one megalomaniac. What was a little time travel, a few impossible odds, and the chance of crossing paths with Tom Riddle when he was still just a snake-eyed schoolboy with delusions of grandeur? Life had given her a second chance-no more, no less. And she was bloody well going to use it. Most Impressive Ranking #1 enemiestolovers out of 117K stories

{Tom Riddle x OC} When Lilia Potter is killed by Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries, she knows she failed. Living in the shadow of her twin brother, Harry Potter, her greatest wish was to step out from his legacy and be remembered for her own achievements. But all of that shatters the day of her death. Until she wakes up- more than fifty years in the past. It should be a cruel joke, but it's real. Voldemort is alive, yet not as the Dark Lord she knows. Here, he is simply Tom Riddle- a clever boy whose charm and enigma draw her in against her better judgment. Tom Riddle and Voldemort are not the same, she tells herself, even as her heart begins to wrestle with forbidden feelings for him. But her growing connection with Tom may come at a cost, especially when another shadow looms over the timeline: Grindelwald. When Grindelwald discovers pieces of her mysterious past, everything becomes far more dangerous. Lilia's second chance at life might be her most perilous yet. ⋆ Aka: a story where she finally learns what it means to be someone's first choice. ⋆ Disclaimer: All characters, settings, and elements from the Harry Potter universe belong to J.K.

He didn't mean to do it. He didn't mean to fall in love with her. In fact, he despised everything that relationships portrayed. He hated the physical touching, the affectionate embraces, the word "I love you." Yet here he was, absolutely and completely involved with another to the point where almost all of his plans were ruined because of it. He was consumed, obsessed, and most of all- he was confused.

She was know for two things. Her doll like appearance. And her only companion being the infamous Tom Riddle. "Do you think we'll find friends at Hogwarts Thomas?" "What is it that I always tell you about friends Nagini." "That I don't need friends because I have you. And that's all I'll ever need." She stated boredly. He smiled at her response and patted her head softly. In his eyes she was pure perfection. The only human in the world he would admit liking. And although he couldn't feel love.
