❝ He growled, hands tightening around your throat, your pipes struggling to catch the air around you. His eyes shook with anger for the desire that burned through his veins. "I have the power to kill thousands in my wake. The ability to destroy and bend insignificant dolls like you to my will and yet-" Tom breathes heavily as he loosens his grip on your throat and you gasp. "You undo me, little mouse. And that makes you a threat. That makes you my dirty little secret."❞

You spent six years at Hogwarts perfecting the art of invisibility.
No friends. No enemies. No one ever looked close enough to notice you, to question you. To see you. You learned to embrace the arms of loneliness in the hallways of Hogwarts, and now, in your final year, you thought it would be no different. You would focus on your studies, drown in your quietness, and make it out of your own personal hellhole you called home. Get a job as a healer apprentice. Get a place of your own.
You had it all planned out.
But once you catch the eyes of the infamous Tom Riddle, everything changes. Eyes begin to follow you. Whispers curl in the shadows, pulling your name into places it's never been.
He shouldn't even know you exist.
And yet, he looks at you like he's known you all along.
Catching the eyes of the devil leaves you tangled in webs of dirty little secrets, ambition, and now that you've unlocked the monster's cage, he won't stop until he's corrupted you. Now it's only a matter of time before you'll give in to the darkness or let it swallow you to your destruction.
