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.

Dawn Rosier/ Tom Riddle No soul beyond the Dark Lord's inner circle has ever laid eyes upon his sons. They exist as specters, whispers in the shadows, their names nothing more than echoes of something unseen. Yet, as all empires seek longevity, so does their ruler. The Dark Lord has decreed it-his bloodline will not fade into obscurity. It will endure. It will multiply. It will be bound by legacy, sealed in blood. Mattheo Riddle, the youngest, is a creature of indulgence, a man who plays with fate as if it were nothing more than a game of cards. A gambler. A wasted heir. There is no use binding him to a wife. But Tom... Tom is different. The firstborn. The one forged not in vice, but in duty. A blade honed by silence, sharpened by obedience. He does not falter. He does not waver. And now, he must wed. Not for love. Not for want. But because his father commands it. Because he must be the start to an unending stream of bloodshed and violence. It all should start with him. But the task would soon evolve into something neither he nor Dawn Rosier thought it could be. Yearning, Despair, Wrath and Crumbling. A story of sense and sensation, Past and Present as eternal enemies of every day. This is the story of Dawn Rosier.

Tom Riddle my best friend, my confidant, my partner and my equal in more ways than one. He matches my intellect and understands me in a way no one else ever has.

Riddle's Rose || Tom Riddle {#Wattys 2017}
It's a Tom Riddle fanfic obvi... β’SHITTY DESCRIPTION ACTIVATEDβ’ Tom Marvolo Riddle has no heart. At least, that is how it seems. And he is completely fine with that. He has no one to love and no one to love him in return....that is, until he meets her. Cassiopeia Ara Black is pure-blood royalty, but you can hardly tell because of her constant happiness. Her jokes are cheesy, her pranks are marvellous, both of which are unlikely of a woman of her stature. Being the purest of the pure is hard work, especially if your mum is obsessed with you being married off to a man you barely know. When these two worlds collide through unexpected work on Tom's side, things get confusing, weird, and....just...yeah, I give up. Highest ranking: 0 cuz I'm too good for an actual ranking β’β’β’ IM FINALLY EDITING THIS DAMNED BOOK SO IT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE GOOD SOON HOLY SHIT!!! ILL BE ADDING CHAPTERS AND EDITING CURRENT ONES SO FORGIVE ME IF THIS BOOK IS A HOT MESS FOR A WHILEComplete

Eternity
Time has passed. Tom Riddle is no more. In his place stands Voldemort. Powerful, feared, and seemingly unstoppable. He has done what few ever dared: split his soul, claimed immortality, and built an empire of terror. But even in his rise, something lingers. The past refuses to stay buried. And no matter how far he runs, he cannot escape the shadow of what he lost... or what he destroyed. Disclaimer: This is the second book in the series. While you can read this on its own, it's recommended to read the first book "Kneel" first for a better understanding of the story and characters. Please note that this story does not follow the original Harry Potter storyline and takes place in an alternate universe with its own twists and changes.Complete

Before He Was Voldemort (A Tom Riddle Fanfiction)
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.Complete
destruction | tom riddle
β "You are my ruin - and my salvation." β 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. β½ο½‘βComplete
