"There isn't a single word on this Earth that can describe how radiant you are. I am certain that a vision of you inspired the heavens, that one glimpse of you would make God realize why he created man. You are a divine angel and I am but a humble man begging on his knees for a taste of you."

. . .

Elio Nott is perhaps one of the most well-known bachelors in the Wizarding World. He's dashing, charming, and never serious. Which is why when Elio turns twenty-three with no signs of settling down, his parents decide to force him into the world of pureblood balls and matchmaking, much to his chagrin. The only perks are the *many* elegant females and, perhaps, the spiked punch. Elio hates it all.

Until he goes to the stupid Malfoy Masquerade Ball only to find the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. But before he can even get her name, she disappears.

Annalise Riddle is quiet, slow to trust, and prefers the company of her piano to one of her peers any day. As the daughter of the Dark Lord, she is constantly in danger so Annie spends her days shyly hidden away for fear of being harmed by one of his many enemies. So she isn't expecting to go to a ball and meet a stunning boy with grey eyes and a charming grin that takes away all of her defenses. Panicking, Annie leaves and vows to never see him again.

Until he shows up another night to search for her.

A Game of Cat and Mouse tells of a woman afraid of love and a man so determined to have her that he will stop at nothing. This book contains instant attraction, billionaire-esque playboy MMC, a sprinkle of dark romance, cinderella retelling, brother's rival, "he falls first AND harder", forced proximity, and lots of male pining. 

This is a spinoff of the Slytherin Boys series. It is recommended that you read my books Smoke & Stars and Darkness & Devotion for an idea of the character's parents and their backstories, though it is not required. This story does NOT take place at Hogwarts!All Rights Reserved

The Heirs of The Noble House of Black by PinkLemonade28x

Tom Riddle love story set in the Marauders Era. The era of the marauders is a time of drastic societal change within the wizarding world. The 60's and 70's are a time of strife as squib protests commence and pure blood riots fight back in an attempt to maintain the social hierarchy which has always kept them on top. However, the difficult times are not only laced into the fabric of British wizarding society, as unrest is beginning to take place from within the castle walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Many of the pureblood students echo the traditional sentiments of their parents, so what will happen when a talented young first year by the name of Tom Riddle joins the school? Will he travel down the path that we know of him and become the feared Lord Voldemort, or will the offer of friendship and love from the students of the marauders era be enough to sway him from his destiny? Follow Lyra Black (original character) and the rest of the next generation of The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black (Bellatrix, Sirius, Andromeda, Narcissa and Regulus) as they attend Hogwarts. As they struggle through familial control and expectations, changes within their society, love, friendship, house rivalries and their own inner demons, will the heirs of the Black line be able to maintain their once strong familial bonds as they get pulled in different directions? This story deviates from the original timelines of the Harry Potter series in order to accommodate many of the characters that we know and love (or love to hate)! Lots of characters are brought together within the space of a few years, so their birth years will not be accurate. Also there are some other changes, such as age of attendance to Hogwarts beginning at 15 (and ending at 22) because I didn't want to write about 11 year olds! ;) This story is based off the Harry Potter series and all rights belong to J.K. Rowling. I only own Lyra Black, other original characters and original plot lines.

The Great War {Mattheo Riddle x Ravenclaw OC} by MegWoodHP

"So you're just as screwed up as I am," He spoke for the first time since she started. "Excuse me?" She asked, thrown off by his candidness. "No, I'm not. You're the..." "Son of Voldemort, yeah, yeah," he waved his hand. "What I meant was, life's not perfect. It's never going to be. So we deal with it." "I hope that wasn't meant to make me feel better." "It wasn't." When Lyra Lovegood is assigned a partner assignment with THE Mattheo Riddle she can't help but roll her eyes and be annoyed. She knows the dangers of what it means to be associated with him. The older Lovegood sister also knows how big of a playboy The Heir of Slytherin is, and knows she has her work cut out for her. But, that doesn't stop her from forcing him to be a participating partner on this project, Where somehow lines get blurred very quickly, and some feelings won't ever be the same. The only character I own is Lyra Lovegood. Mattheo is a fanmade character. The other characters all belong to JK Rowling. Cover and summary created by @Namiscwannn

𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐌𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐋𝐞𝐟𝐭 by Mia_Ford22

Very gently- her soft lips brush against mine. My eyes flutter closed and I lean back in, smiling. "Nyx, I swear to god, you are going to kill me one day" "What do you mean...?" "Forget it, you already have." ★★★★★ Nyx doesn't want the life she was given at birth. She's a fighter, not a pretty little object that needs saving. Kiran should have never been taken. He's never been a fighter, he acted more like a prince than a knight. When Nyx Maskousky was taken as a young child, she was raised as a thief, but more importantly, as a fighter. But there's a catch: she has to dress like a man, or she's immediately thrown in a cell to rot, where every fragment of her freedom will be gone- ruined. Kiran Taner was taken, along with three other children at eleven, and like everyone else, was raised as a thief. But just as the universe had seemed to want, he's never been strong enough, and has to spend long hours every evening with a woman he can't hide feelings from- Nyx Maskousky. But with a horrible twist of fate, Nyx and Kiran was caught- however not by the exterminators, but by the Trial judges- who put both of them together in the them. However, if they find out that Nyx isn't a man- her whole life will be torn apart, and she will be locked up, or worse, killed. And the trials will easily be Kiran's end, for how strong everyone else is, yet how weak he was. And with a terrible level of self control, Kiran needs to keep his feelings from Nyx for as long as he can. Or that could be his downfall. Extra details: Includes music in a majority of the chapters, thank you to all the creators who made them 🙏. This novel does have deeper meanings as it progresses, so please stick around for it.

Slytherin boys: Tom, Mattheo, Blaise, Theodore, Lorenzo and Draco. TOM and MATTHEO are NOT RELATED EACH ACT CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE. consider five extremely rich and powerful boys. add Greek god like bodies and fatally attractive faces. add a soulmate bond linking them all to one another. add one missing piece of the bond; their last and youngest mate. add shared trauma and nightmares because of a power hungry, homophobic, psycho. you are left with the ruthless slytherin boys. consider a beautiful Hufflepuff girl. add major trust issues, childhood trauma and anxiety. subtract emotional security and loving parents. add Lana del Rey, sarcasm, and humor used as a coping mechanism. add five unknown soulmates and an unhealthy chocolate addiction. you are left with Ahilya Shyam. need i say more? yes, actually. Ahilya's sperm donor happens to be the previously mentioned power hungry, homophobic psycho who gave the boys life long trauma and a good amount of mental health issues. of course, he gave Ahilya a lot worse damage than that, but in true introvert fashion, the only person who knows of Ahilya's past and trauma is the giant squid.

The Serpent & Hawke | Mattheo Riddle | Enemies to lovers by its-not-just-magic

We were now mere inches apart. I leaned down, my face level with hers, my eyes blazing with barely contained fury. "You don't want to make an enemy of me, Hawke." I growled. Lyanna swallowed hard, but her gaze remained defiant. "I'm not afraid of you, Riddle." A vicious smile spread across my face. "You should be." Mattheo's desperation for his father's approval collides with the arrival of a mysterious 'muggle' (Lyanna Hawke) with extraordinary powers. As he pursues her abilities to impress his father, Mattheo experiences something he hasn't before. But his obsession for acceptance may deliver the girl straight into his father's hands, putting her in grave danger. For the first time in his life, Mattheo must decide between right and wrong, good and evil, the serpent or Hawke. Over 18's | Enemies to lovers | & SMUT💋 My First Fan Fiction!! Woo!!🎉 ENJOY!!
