pour arsenic down my throat and watch me choke on your poison. [could be read as a stand-alone]

In the shadowed halls of Hogwarts, a new student arrives-Natalie, a girl gifted with ancient magic that hasn't been seen in centuries. Her arrival sparks whispers, curiosity, and unease, but nothing could prepare the school-or a certain enigmatic student-for the force she carries within her. At just sixteen, Tom Riddle is already charming, cunning, and quietly dangerous. When he crosses paths with Natalie, he senses a power that could shape the future. But a prophecy hangs over her head: "Bound to the Dark Lord, the one who masters death." As secrets unravel, loyalties are tested, and dark desires stir, Natalie must navigate a world of hidden magic, manipulation, and the fine line between ally and enemy. Will her ancient gift be the key to defeating darkness-or the very force that binds her to it? Dark. Mysterious. Forbidden. Bound is a spellbinding tale of power, prophecy, and the dangerous allure of destiny.

"Tell me what you want. I'll give it. Just this once." Aurelia Dante, an embodiment of light amidst the shadows. Tom Riddle, a figure steeped in darkness, his ambitions cloaked in mystery. What will occur when these two forces collide, where Aurelia's radiance meets the engulfing shadows of Tom's ambition?

― "You are my ruin - and my salvation." ― Lilith Vale was born different - too sharp, too cold, and far too powerful for someone so young. Raised on dark magic and haunted by her father's death, she's spent her life searching for the spell that destroyed him... and nearly took her with it. Now in her final year at Hogwarts, she wears the badge of Head Girl like a mask. To the rest of the school, she's brilliant, distant, untouchable. But underneath, Lilith is spiraling - unraveling under the weight of secrets, survivor's guilt, and a hunger for knowledge that no book seems able to satisfy. Then comes him.. Tom Riddle - charming, calculated, and dangerously intelligent. He's the only one who sees her as more than a quiet storm. And the only one whose mind she can't seem to read. He wants to know what she's hiding. She wants to know why he's watching. Their connection is a game of power and proximity. A cold war wrapped in stolen glances and veiled threats. But something dark is stirring at Hogwarts - students are disappearing, ancient symbols are resurfacing, and Lilith is getting too close to the truth. To the truth about her father. To the truth about Tom. And to the truth about herself. Because some magic isn't meant to be studied. Some obsessions aren't meant to be survived. And some love stories are written only to end in destruction. ☽｡⋆

Tom Marvolo Riddle x OC There was once a boy who was feared by all. A boy with dark, fathomless eyes and a mind sharper than any blade. A boy who walked the halls of Hogwarts like a king without a crown-powerful, untouchable, unkillable. And then there was her. Catherine Valentine. The golden girl of Hufflepuff. Sweet, soft-spoken, endlessly kind. A girl who smiled like sunlight and carried warmth in her touch. A girl adored by all, yet one who had eyes only for him-the boy who was too cold to feel, too ruthless to love. For years, he had watched her from the shadows. For years, he had longed for the impossible-to reach for something pure, something good, something he was never meant to have. And for years, she had watched him back. She saw what no one else did. Not the monster. Not the demon. But the boy beneath the cold exterior. And she loved him. For eternity. For forever. And forever - was exactly what he had always wanted.

"Can you promise me something, Bell? Promise me you won't do anything stupid?" "I can't promise you that. If it means protecting you- I'll do anything. Stupid or not."
