Fate plays cruel games, but to Althea Lynch it played the worst of them all.

The Lynch dynasty, an overly wealthy wizard family, continues to survive unscathed through the ages. However, they have been plagued by an unfortunate death. The mother of the family has been assasinated by the Alliance on the Ministry of Magic. After that the only daughter of the family, after being homeschooled all her life, decides to study at Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, a magical school which hides terrible stories on its walls and certainly terrible people.

Althea, however, is not an ordinary witch and may her past define her more than she could have ever thought. She has a power that not only one man longs to harness but one another boy from her age. Was the war a person, it would not be Ares, it would be Tom Riddle.

Secrets unravel, human relationships dissolve and rebuild, and Althea Lynch must confront not only all the dangers that will cross her path but also her own self.

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. She ends up with a twisted deal, finding that she must give up her sympathy and kill the one she loves most. What happens when she deliberately falls for Tom Riddle, her enemy, in order to kill him? 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. [Inspired by Haunting of Hill House, Hannibal, The Cruel Prince, Shatter Me, The Mara Dyer Trilogy, AHS, TVD]

"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!

Before He Was Voldemort (A Tom Riddle Fanfiction) by MeganWritesBooks
45 parts Complete
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.

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. *~*~* Highest ranked: #1 in manipulation #1 in sociopath
