[IS BEING REWRITTEN FOR PUBLISHMENT] ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ || 18+ don't read if you expect soft, out of character Tom. In 1953, one dark prophecy once again emerged; a riddle of power and destruction, of a vessel that would reshape the world of magic. It was said to be a soul bound to life and shadow which, upon its awakening, would crown a ruler who could cast the world into chaos. When dark wizard and now Professor Tom Riddle, aged 27, reaches the clue of the prophecy that may alter his search for power in the wizarding world, the clues bring him to Belarus, to the prestigious grim Vodyanaya Academy of Magic steeped in ancient secrets. Among the students, one stood; a 19 year old witch, Vespera Smirnova, unconsciously strong and attached with nature mystically, yet unaware of her ancestry and fulfilling all characteristics described within the prophecy. Posing as a teacher, Tom enters the academy for the sole purpose of finding out the truth and claiming this power, which he believes is his destiny. But the deeper he goes, the more the prophecy unravels, threatening to change not only his plans but the fate of the magical world itself. - art by lessiedraw.ou ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

She woke beneath a willow tree, deep in the Forbidden Forest-alone, disoriented, and with no memory of who she was. Only the pulse of magic in her veins. Now known as Thalia Morwen, she enters Hogwarts as a fifth-year transfer from Ilvermorny. It's a cover story-one even she isn't sure she believes. The spells come naturally, the castle feels strangely familiar, and the shadows seem to recognize her before anyone else does. There are whispers in the walls. Creatures in the dark that stir when she passes. And one boy in particular who watches her too closely. Tom Riddle is calm, calculating, and doesn't believe her story for a second. But some truths are better left forgotten. And some monsters aren't the ones in the forest.
