Rhea Hel is the golden girl of Hogwarts. Everyone adores her and worships the ground she walks on. She flashes a smile or bats her eyes and everyone falls in line behind her, because she could do no wrong in their eyes. Tom Riddle was a charismatic boy that was an enigma to all who knew him. He was quiet and reserved himself to spend time in the company of his followers without a care for anyone else - especially for people like Rhea Hel. But, when Rhea has access to something he wants, Tom finds their paths crossing much more often than he anticipated and he finds himself realizing that there might be more to Rhea Hel than meets the eye. (Prequel to 'Nox' and 'Confessions') *Can be read as a stand-alone*
