"I call him the devil, because he makes me want to sin. And every time he knocks, I can't help but let him in."

The story is set in the year 1953. Tom Riddle has been working at Borgin and Burke's for 8 years now, continuing his research in regards to the Founders of Hogwarts and searching for their relics to create his next horcruxes. 

He enjoys his privacy, and his quiet work life, and becomes perplexed when a young witch begins frequenting the shop. She's careful around Tom, ensuring she does not give away the information she is withholding from him. Tom grows annoyed rather quickly, and frustrated when he realizes his charm does not work on the girl. She remains friendly with him, but keeps her distance nonetheless, which begins to irritate Tom. 

He discovers that she gets a job at pub down the street from the shop, and he grows increasingly uncomfortable, getting the feeling that she was watching him. And although he would never admit it to her, he found her very attractive. He becomes to realize that deep down, he still has primal human desires that he intends to fulfill, specifically with her, but she hides a great secret that could prove highly fatal if it were to ever slip from her lips. 

Thankfully for Tom, his quick wit and his silver tongue do not fail him, which will eventually have the young witch spilling her deepest and darkest secrets.

91 parts Ongoing Mature
"Years ago, I met a boy who made all the wrong choices." As orphans, you and Tom Riddle have more in common than having no parental figures in your lives. One day, it turns out that you, too, can use magic, and it changes everything. For better or for worse? Your adventure starts off in Hogwarts, Britain's very own school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where you are to spend the next seven years of your life. You grow and learn, but not always together, and not the same things. During the course of the years, he starts to get more and more involved with the Dark Arts... And you start to realize that there is something very wrong with your friend. As he gets older, he becomes more manipulative, possessive and twisted. He starts to use his powers and his looks to control those around him-including you. Eventually, Tom's true nature is revealed, but by then, it's too late for you. You fall under his spell, completely under his control, and there is nothing anyone could do to save you from the darkness that awaits. *~*~* β™‘ A slowburn/sociopathic/dark Tom Marvolo Riddle x F!reader book that centers around both reader's perspective and Tom's fall into madness/rise in influence and power. The 'effects' of Tom's influence become apperent later in the book, so the emotional conflicts/thoughts start later too. β™‘ Cross posted on ao3. β™‘ I don't claim the Harry Potter characters in any way, the only thing I claim is the plot, some OC's and this, like my other books, are not made to make money off of them. *~*~* Highest ranked: #1 in manipulation #1 in sociopath

I will carve out your bloody heart and I will laugh at the heavens while doing so." "Stab me, Witchling. My heart is already your treacherous prisoner. I am nothing if not a captive in your cruel hands, thus it will make no difference if you plunge your dagger into my chest and wrench out my heart, Qadir." *** When Tom Riddle, the son of a Vampire Hunter, unexpectedly enters the masquerade realm of the heretical, he finds his destiny entangled with the Blood Witch after they try to kill each other. The Hunter and the Witchling join together in an on-and-off game of chess, playing a morbid game of their design. As Vampire Coven attacks become more detrimental, Anya starts to descend down a path of madness and sin. She turns to the embrace of darkness, confiding in a demonic knight named Mordred. She ends up with a twisted deal, finding that she must give up her sympathy and kill the one she loves most. What happens when she deliberately falls for Tom Riddle, her enemy, in order to kill him? Dumbledore and the Ministry will go as far as necessary to stop the ancient darkness she threatens to resurrect, and Anya Qadir will do anything for retribution. Even if it means consuming Amortentia, selling her sympathetic soul, or pushing herself to the brink of madness until she is confined in the walls of an asylum.
