Venomous Whispers:The Serpent's Game Diaries|Book One
Hogwarts, 1938.
A castle alive with secrets. A House built on legacy. And a year that will mark the beginning of something far darker than childish games.
The newest generation of Slytherins arrives - heirs of ancient families with names that hold power like spells: Nott, Black, Berkshire... and the Riddles. Tom Riddle's quiet brilliance already draws eyes, while his younger brother Matteo commands attention through his reckless charm. Lorenzo Berkshire moves with the poise of aristocracy, Theodore Nott watches from the shadows, and Regulus Black carries the heavy expectations of the Black name.
But all eyes are on Selene Berkshire, the half-blood who never should have worn green. Blonde, defiant, and Lorenzo's half-sister, her very existence is a stain on Slytherin's bloodlines. Whispers follow her through the dungeons - yet power has a strange way of blooming where no one expects it.
As the first-years navigate rivalries, alliances, and the unspoken rules of Slytherin's game, they discover that Hogwarts isn't just about learning magic - it's about survival. In the shadows of the castle, venomous whispers grow louder, and the first pieces of a dangerous game are set in motion.
And every serpent knows: once the game begins, there's no escape.
