The Gryffindor Gaunt ○ Hermione Granger

Tom Riddle never knew he had a cousin, but when he finds out about and meets Lilith Gaunt, she turns out to be better than anything he could have hoped for.

She, like he, was raised in an orphanage. She, like he, has Slytherin's own blood running through her veins. She, like he, wants power.

He promises her he will come back.

Seven years later, Tom has finished his schooling and he and Lilith have travelled the world. He has taught her everything he knows, and now it is time to raise his army.

To keep her safe, he gives Lilith a potion of his own invention that will place her body and mind in a stasis until he is there to wake her again.

Forty-four years later a dark mark is cast into the sky at the Quidditch World Cup, the Triwizard Tournament is about to take place, and Lilith Gaunt is awake.

Under her cousin's orders, Lilith enters Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry as his spy, to help guide Harry Potter through the tournament. Everything has been meticulously planned for Tom to regain his body and kill Potter once and for all... until it all goes wrong.

I do not support JK Rowling, but most of the characters in this book and some of the dialogue belong to her, along with the rest of the Potterverse. Lilith and her plot belong to me.
