Everyone has their secrets. Most people tend to hide them away in fear of being judged, discriminated or laughed upon. And in the case of Thomas Marvolo Riddle, it was no different. His evil desire, his hunger to harm people, his prominent heritage to Salazar Slytherin - surely, he felt, no one would ever understand his murderous interests. But what happens when Lucille Credo, another odd and ecentric Slytherin, is introduced in his life? Read the story of how Tom Riddle experienced the only love he ever felt in his life and how it shaped him into the dark wizard he is now.
