The pinkish-haired girl brought the snake back under the cloak, giggling.
«He's not a rabbit, his nature will never change.»
Riddle said.
For a brief moment he saw his reflection in the girl's blue and crystal pools.
«Sure, but it doesn't mean that friendship cannot arise between two creatures of a different nature.»
[...]

In 1942 Arthemisia Lux moved from the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to the Hogwarts Institute, a magnificent castle in the Scottish mountains overlooking the shores of Black Lake.
The girl thus finds herself immersed in a new school reality, in which she hopes not to face the same difficulties encountered in Ilvermorny.
Playful and dreamy, she won't lack personalities to meet and clash with, including that of a certain Slytherin Prefect.
His singularity won't go unnoticed by Arthemisia's attentive gaze.

VALEDICTORIAN, EGO TE PROVOCO // Tom Marvolo Riddle by emblematicae
6 parts Ongoing Mature
 Impossibly close to donning the title of the most promising and unfathomably gifted protégé Hogwarts has ever laid eyes upon, the wizarding world would be foolish to ignore such an accomplished scholar. Procuring a seat at the grand table alongside every and all great wizards and witches preceding him, his name would maintain a revered longevity surpassing history itself-Tom Riddle is second to none, none but you. He stands as a salutatorian before you; his clever nature and wisdom beyond his years, extensive honors, accolades that sing nothing but his praises, and noble laurels vanish into a vapid nothingness compared to you.  It was less noticeable when the both of you were much younger. Any semblance of academic rivalry was diminished by the fact you were far too sick and weak to even entertain him with faux competition (even if the winner was obvious). Years have passed since then, and the two of you have pursued your own respective aspirations that could not be further apart, all the while just barely preserving your cherished bond. And as Tom worked hard to curate his perfect, idealistic image, and brilliance of unreachable heights, you remained as sick and weak as you once were. And yet, you still best him. Tom cannot escape your shadow, and nothing has changed since your shared youth with the troubled boy. He can continue to excuse it with the fact that you are older than him, one year difference and one year ahead (if only for the sake of his bruised ego), but the truth of the matter is: you've always been better, haven't you? Valedictorian, I challenge you. © 2025 emblematicae

In an alternate twist of fate, Y/N Dahlia, a brilliant and bold Slytherin, becomes intertwined with the enigmatic and ambitious Tom Riddle. What begins as a rivalry built on wits and power soon spirals into a dangerous entanglement of love, betrayal, and redemption. As Tom spirals into darkness, Y/N finds herself torn between her undeniable feelings for him and her determination to stop his descent into infamy. Through heartbreak, sacrifice, and moments of fragile humanity, they are forced to confront the limits of their love-and the consequences of their choices. This is a story of second chances, forbidden romance, and the fight to reclaim what remains of a heart consumed by darkness. Will love be enough to rewrite their fate, or is the past too heavy to escape? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Disclaimer: I do not own any characters, settings, or elements from the Harry Potter books or movies.
