The Daughter. Evelyn Black, shrouded in the darkness of her lineage, bears the weight of being the only daughter of Regulus Black, isolated from the world by her abusive grandparents who would rather she didn't exist and parents who don't know she does. Lonely and longing for a connection she's never known, her only companions are her father's tombstone and the books she reads in her spare time. 
She's alone. Achingly so.

The Son. Tom Riddle is the Dark Heir and the eldest son of Lord Voldemort. After his father's demise in 1981, Tom is too busy preparing to become his father's powerful successor to care about anything else. But when he meets Evelyn, a woman with a bruised arm, sad eyes, and a melancholy soul like his own, he suddenly finds himself drawn to the shadows with her. In his final year at Hogwarts, Tom can't afford a distraction yet he finds purpose in protecting Evelyn from the shadows that threaten to consume her.

Despite the shadows surrounding their relationship, a bond forms, a fragile cord with power new to even this world. Yet, as their forbidden romance deepens, Tom realizes that his love may be his greatest vulnerability while Evelyn must learn to find a life outside of the isolation she's always known in a world where darkness threatens to engulf them both.

Darkness & Devotion is a romance with soul mates, slow burn, "he fell harder", and dark romance. It is book #3 in the Slytherin Boys Series but can be read as a standalone.

"I would burn for you, Evelyn darling. I would flush out every corner of this Earth so no man, woman, or child could ever keep you from me. I would set this entire planet aflame so no corner could conceal you from my gaze. You are mine and I have only just begun to claim what I desire."

The Sacred 28 families are some of the most powerful wizarding lines in the world, and their purity is guarded carefully. Many a pureblood has been forced to marry for blood rather than for love, but no one takes it quite as seriously as the last of the original sacred families. They marry for status, not for love. Never for love. With the families dying out and the old traditions fading into distant memory, it's never been more paramount for the Sacred families to make powerful matches for their children. Preserving the pureblood lines and the magic that runs through them is of the utmost importance. The Black Family Dynasty is more than familiar with the traditional customs, and no one has arranged a more powerful match than Walburga and Orion Black. A Gaunt and a Black. An inconceivably powerful alliance, two of the most prominent family lines in wizarding history, finally connected. Their son, their heir, matched with a Gaunt? They couldn't be happier. Magdelyna Merope Gaunt, the daughter of Morfin Gaunt and the cousin of Tom Marvolo Riddle himself. She could never refuse such a match- no good pureblooded girl would ever dare to turn away a member of the House of Black. And with her family nearly eradicated, she has no choice but to marry. Who better than Regulus Black? The only complication? The wizarding world is teetering on the edge of a war, and Regulus is right in the middle of it. When a prophecy complicates matters, Regulus and Magdelyna have to work together to stay alive, caught up in a game that neither fully understands. A game that stretches through time, that defies the laws of life and death. When the side of good isn't completely good and the side of evil isn't completely evil, they have to find a middle ground. --- {1978-1998} Regulus Black x OFC MATURE BOOK!

Natalia Lupin, the only daughter of Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. One of hogwarts' most gifted students and the brightest witch of her age. She lived in a world of her own, one filled with music and books, flowers and rain. A world carved out of all of her favourite things, her safe space hidden from the world, until she let someone else in. Mattheo Riddle, the sole heir of Tom Riddle, a man of many descriptions. A monster, a bright student, the most dangerous death eater- a man too mysterious to know for sure. He's turned Hogwarts into his own world, he excels at everything, is worshipped by the slytherins and favoured by professors. Both of them together could be considered lethal- whether it was towards each other or the rest of the world depends on them. He's made of darkness, wrapped in barbed wire and armed with a temper as delicate as dynamite. She's made of light, hidden in paragraphs and good grades, armed with knowledge and kindness. Opposites in every aspect- except their desire to be loved, what could possibly go wrong? ~~ I want to be loved. To feel like someone loves me for who I am not because they owe it to me. I do everything I can to find that, I'm kind and respectful, generous and honest. I give myself to a world that gives me nothing in return. You've given me a taste of what it could be like to have that, you've shown me a world far different from the one we live in and I fell for it. ~~ Mattheo Riddle x FemOC

BOOK 3 OF THE GIRL WHO SAW TOMORROW - Make sure you have read the first two. ❝No one, no matter how great, can know of their own Destiny...❞ As the war against Voldemort rages, an unexpected rebellion brews amidst the crowds. For the first time since the time of Merlin, legends of a magical being are spreading across the Wizarding and Muggle worlds, sending into peril the very Statute of Secrecy that has allowed the Wizarding kind to live in freedom. Some call them a saviour, others call them a dangerous untamable force. But all agree on one thing: Darkness itself bends to their will. And nothing dark is ever good, right? Alas, there is no answer in sight. Harry Potter is nowhere to be found. Hogwarts has been overrun by Death Eaters. The Order of the Phoenix is in hiding. The Ministry is in shambles. And Lord Voldemort is breathing fear into every aspect of life. In the eye of the storm stands Margaret Xenakis. Meticulously planning aspects of the future could have never prepared her for the bloodshed of war. When a legendary magical society offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Margaret realises that the Wizarding World outside Hogwarts is much more complex than she had expected. With her own life at stake, she must make her stand for the greater good before it's too late. No matter how unprepared or unworthy she feels. It is up to her, and only her, to minimise the damage of the crossfire. Sounds like a lot? Add Death, Darkness and Doom to the mix. Talk about absolutely unhinged luck... ~~~ Warning: this fic is a giant band-aid to the plot boo-boos of Deathly Hallows book and movie storylines :)

You never expected to want Tom Riddle. And he never expected to want you. You were born into power. A name that held weight, a family that demanded perfection. As the eldest daughter of the Hayse bloodline, your future had always been carefully orchestrated-until the night you were summoned downstairs and your fate was sealed. An arranged marriage. A name you knew but a boy you had never truly understood. Tom Marvolo Riddle. Silent, calculating, dangerous. He sat across from you, unreadable as ever, learning of your forced betrothal at the same time you did. But while you wrestled with your emotions, he remained unmoved-at least, on the surface. At Hogwarts, the rumors spread like wildfire. Some believed it was love, others whispered of force, but the truth was the rarest tale of all. You and Tom were bound by duty, trapped in a facade neither of you wanted, yet forced to maintain. But the lines began to blur. In stolen glances, in shared silences, in the moments where you realized the boy with darkness in his veins might not be as indifferent as he seemed. And when he finally let his mask slip, you saw the truth-his desire, his frustration, and the one thing he hated most. That he wanted you. But pretending to love Tom Riddle is one thing. The real problem? You're starting to. And in a world where blood is sacred and betrayal is deadly, love is the most dangerous thing of all. 🔥 Dark Academia | Arranged Marriage | Slow Burn | Power & Legacy | Reader x Tom Riddle 🔥
