"Why do you opt for a life with veiled murderers when I would bring down heaven for you?" ~~~ Serpen Salazar Riddle was both a slytherin and the heir of a dark legacy. Despite being innocent, he is the second most targeted man in the history of the wizarding community, only second after his father. So what happens when the sole heir of Lord Voldemort who raised himself in the streets of Knockturn Alley, becomes Head Boy? And add the 'child of the light' Head Girl, Hermione in the mix? ~~~ Serpen is an enigma. Hermione finds herself sucked into a whirlwind of new insights, and starts to wonder who she truly loves. But betrayal, jealousy, and status get in the way of their love. ~~~ "Don't try to convince me to stay. You're not in love with anyone, Hermione. You don't understand love yet." "At least Ron's a gentleman to me, unlike you!" "This isn't about manners, It's about love" "What would the motherless son of Voldemort know about love?"
