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

destruction | tom riddle
― "You are my ruin - and my salvation." ― 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. ☽｡⋆Complete![Hogwarts: a school of Witchcraft and Love (Tom Marvolo Riddle x F!reader) [✓]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/340170206-256-k405052.jpg)
Hogwarts: a school of Witchcraft and Love (Tom Marvolo Riddle x F!reader) [✓]
"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.

Marked by Desire
❝ I don't want to share you, Y/N, ❞ He leaned in a little closer, his voice dropping to a near whisper. ❝ It's not like you don't know what I mean. It's not just anyone who gets to look at you like that. ❞ ❝ You're mine, Y/N. Don't forget that. ❞ ~~~ In the halls of Hogwarts, power and temptation collide. Y/N had always known Tom Riddle as a brilliant and enigmatic Slytherin with a dangerous aura. But when fate pulls you into his orbit, everything changes. As the line between friendship and something more blurs, you find yourself drawn into a world of intrigue, dark magic, and intense emotions-one that is as thrilling as it is perilous. At first, it's easy to dismiss Tom's attention. His cold, calculated persona never betrays the vulnerability beneath the surface. But as the two of you grow closer, his possessiveness emerges-subtle, then all-consuming. His dark gaze follows you everywhere, a silent claim that no one else dares challenge. As he slowly opens up to you in ways he never has with anyone else, you realize that you've become more than just an ally in his eyes-you've become his. And in a world where power is everything, you can't help but wonder just how far he'll go to keep you by his side. Dark desires. Unspoken bonds. And the suffocating weight of a love bound by shadows. Will you embrace the dangerous allure of the Dark Lord in the making? Or will his possessiveness be too much for you to bear?Complete
