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

{Tom Riddle x OC} When Lilia Potter is killed by Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries, she knows she failed. Living in the shadow of her twin brother, Harry Potter, her greatest wish was to step out from his legacy and be remembered for her own achievements. But all of that shatters the day of her death. Until she wakes up- more than fifty years in the past. It should be a cruel joke, but it's real. Voldemort is alive, yet not as the Dark Lord she knows. Here, he is simply Tom Riddle- a clever boy whose charm and enigma draw her in against her better judgment. Tom Riddle and Voldemort are not the same, she tells herself, even as her heart begins to wrestle with forbidden feelings for him. But her growing connection with Tom may come at a cost, especially when another shadow looms over the timeline: Grindelwald. When Grindelwald discovers pieces of her mysterious past, everything becomes far more dangerous. Lilia's second chance at life might be her most perilous yet. ⋆ Aka: a story where she finally learns what it means to be someone's first choice. ⋆ Highest rankings: #4 in hogwartsschoolofwitchcraftandwizardry #1 in tomriddlelovestory #1 in timetravel #1 in hogwarts #1 in wizard #1 in time #1 in #ptsd Disclaimer: All characters, settings, and elements from the Harry Potter universe belong to J.K.

129 parts Complete 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. *~*~* ♡ 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. ♡ Cross posted on ao3. ♡ 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. ♡ I'm firmly against using AI for bookwriting as it takes away from the whole creativity standpoint. So you don't have to worry about that in any of my books. ♡ This book is very fucking long lol so just be aware. [~350.000 words] *~*~* Highest ranked: #1 in manipulation #1 in sociopath

"You promised me that you wouldn't leave." "Tom...I never left." ~.+*+.~ Fate is Cruel. Truly. What if the dark Tom Riddle was never evil from the start?

A lover that was separated from him too early... ~.+*+.~ (Y/N) is an ordinary student at Hogwarts who struggles with Potions. Until one day, she finds the perfect study partner to revise with: a Slytherin boy with a closed heart and always a few metres away from her.

But as their love gets stronger, (Y/N)'s fate draws near, and the boy's destiny to become the Dark Lord inches closer and closer every minute. Will the two have a happy ending? Or will an unexpected borderline cut the two apart forever? ~.+*+.~ If you're looking for a non-toxic and sad-love relashionship with Tom Riddle, this may be the Fanfiction for you! This Fanfiction contains some angst caused by separation and love, and is not about dark love. Instead, it is about sad love.

Descent into Darkness BY: Athey Category: Harry Potter AU/AR > Slash - Male/Male Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, nor any of the characters from the books or movies. I do not make any money from the writing of this story. Disclaimer: I am not JKRowling. I do not own Harry Potter. I am making no profit on this and it is an entirely for-fun endeavor. Summary: It's Harry's 4th year at Hogwarts and his name has just come out of the Goblet of Fire. Everyone has abandoned him and he feels utterly alone. Through an accident, Harry and the piece of Voldemort's soul that resides inside him begin to interact and Harry slowly begins to change. He becomes stronger and more aware, and slowly grows aware of a more sinister course of events that has perpetuated his entire life. Warnings: This story is sort of pre-slash / slash. The story is NOT ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP. The relationship doesn't even really happen until around page 450 (which translates to roughly chapter 24), so if you're here for a ship fic, you won't really find it, or you're going to be waiting a long time before it gets there. The pairing is HP/LV Yes - Voldemort. But it's more of an adult TR than the scaley snake-faced Voldemort we're all more familiar with. Rated M for violence, torture, language, and some mild sexual situations. Originally this fic was only posted on ffnet - my username there is Aya Macchiato. I've also got it posted on an Archive of Our Own under the username Athy. ** I'm not the author I'm just sharing this amazing book on this app. It's complete and has a second part. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.
Before He Was Voldemort (A Tom Riddle Fanfiction) by MeganWritesBooks

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.

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.

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.

It's a Tom Riddle fanfic obvi... •SHITTY DESCRIPTION ACTIVATED• 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 ••• 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 WHILE
