Every Potter fan loves to hate Voldemort. But, would you hate Tom Riddle?

Soleis (Suh-less) Dolohov is an unlikely Ravenclaw living in the Slytherin dorms at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.  She is the sister of Antonin Dolohov, who spends his time with the Hogwarts golden child, Tom Riddle. She doesn't really like Tom, but he actually only bothers her for one reason: she doesn't understand him at all. He's a mess of conflicting characteristics, and she can't figure him out. And, as a Ravenclaw, it's infuriating.

Tom, though, is more concerned about figuring out a way to enlist Soleis's help with a new project of his: creating horcruxes. He has spent time observing Soleis and believes that, with her intelligence, she is his best option for success.

Beginning a strained alliance , the two start discovering the true cost of creating such an object. Now, it's just a matter of who's willing to pay the price. 

Will Soleis follow Tom into the darkness? Will her friends find themselves engulfed in Tom's secret project as well? Will Tom and Soleis find something other than a forced tolerance of each other?

Don't get me wrong, Voldy sucks. He's a terrible person with unimaginable greed and such a vast disconnect from humanity that it's almost incomprehensible. So, as you're reading, enjoy it for what it is: a non-canon constructed backstory detailing a boy infused with evil, his struggle to choose humanity over power, and a girl who must now make that same choice for herself.

I hope you enjoy the book! All world creation and stuff is credited to J.K. Rowling, obviously, and all of the Harry Potter stories she came up with over the years. Also, there's some potentially sensitive topics, just as a warning.

**Most of the characters are bumped up to 18 btw

The Heirs of The Noble House of Black by PinkLemonade28x
5 parts Ongoing
Tom Riddle love story set in the Marauders Era. The era of the marauders is a time of drastic societal change within the wizarding world. The 60's and 70's are a time of strife as squib protests commence and pure blood riots fight back in an attempt to maintain the social hierarchy which has always kept them on top. However, the difficult times are not only laced into the fabric of British wizarding society, as unrest is beginning to take place from within the castle walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Many of the pureblood students echo the traditional sentiments of their parents, so what will happen when a talented young first year by the name of Tom Riddle joins the school? Will he travel down the path that we know of him and become the feared Lord Voldemort, or will the offer of friendship and love from the students of the marauders era be enough to sway him from his destiny? Follow Lyra Black (original character) and the rest of the next generation of The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black (Bellatrix, Sirius, Andromeda, Narcissa and Regulus) as they attend Hogwarts. As they struggle through familial control and expectations, changes within their society, love, friendship, house rivalries and their own inner demons, will the heirs of the Black line be able to maintain their once strong familial bonds as they get pulled in different directions? This story deviates from the original timelines of the Harry Potter series in order to accommodate many of the characters that we know and love (or love to hate)! Lots of characters are brought together within the space of a few years, so their birth years will not be accurate. Also there are some other changes, such as age of attendance to Hogwarts beginning at 15 (and ending at 22) because I didn't want to write about 11 year olds! ;) This story is based off the Harry Potter series and all rights belong to J.K. Rowling. I only own Lyra Black, other original characters and original plot lines.

Beautiful delicate hands with a perfect sized waste and gorgeous curves. Has some scars on her arms, and has a ring obsession. This story has some triggering chapters, so if you're sensitive to anything such as suicide, child neglect, and there is alcohol usage. If you're sensitive to any of these topics I recommend you find another book to read, or read with caution. The book includes swear words such as "bitch" "slut" "cunt" "asshole" "fuck" "whore" "dick" "hell" "Damn" "motherfucker" "shit" "prick" and "bullshit" The book does include sexual content, but there will be some details, but not too much. Some chapters will have more sexual details than others. There is only some mentions of attempted sexual assault. But I will put a warning before being able to read the parts. There is also a lot of violence in this book There will be POVs with each character I mention For this book, the main character will be suicidal. It's just for the character, but I don't intend on triggering anyone with any past of suicide or suicidal thoughts. To make sure that you don't get triggered from some of the chapters. I will leave warnings above the chapter before it goes into the actual text. I won't go into extreme detail to make sure no one is getting triggered. I hope you enjoy the story

Have you ever wondered what life at Hogwarts was really like for Tom Riddle, known by his darker moniker Lord Voldemort? How did he manage juggling life as a student while simultaneously plotting his immortality and tyrannical reign over the Wizarding world? Corinne Carrow, a shy Slytherin witch with a famous family lineage, was certainly not your typical cunning Slytherin. She was the outcast of her very reputable Pureblood family. Throughout her years at Hogwarts, Corinne wasn't fond of socializing much among her peers. That is, until she reached her 6th year, when fate led her to reestablish a friendship with the notorious and tragically handsome Tom Riddle. A complete opposite of Corinne, Tom was an intimidating and brooding character with expertise in the art of persuasion and manipulation. Though for some strange reason, Corinne found herself quite intrigued by him. While everyone else feared Tom and viewed him as potentially dangerous, Corinne overlooked this and saw straight through his dark ways. You may think you know the tragic story of the troubled orphan boy who would eventually become the most feared and immensely powerful Dark wizard in the world. But what you don't know is that the young Dark Lord happened to have one particular companion; one he may have even loved. So if Tom Riddle inadvertently defied his own loveless nature despite all impossibility, what made him not change his ways for Corinne? What made him instead enter a much darker route in life that led him to become the Dark Lord? This is the alternate story of Tom Marvolo Riddle, before he was Voldemort.
