"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 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!!

The Girl Who Saw Tomorrow III » Harry Potter by bugsies

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 :)

Dusk and Desire - A Mattheo Riddle Story by serpentsandsongbirds

"Do you dirty talk to all of your girls?" "Just the ones I can't stand." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Mattheo Riddle LOATHES Nora Rosier. In his mind, she's a stuck-up, pureblood brat with a superiority complex granted only by her (admittedly) decent grades. Nora Rosier LOATHES Mattheo Riddle. In her mind, he's an arrogant prick with a superiority complex granted by his infamous father and (admittedly) decent Quidditch skills. Neither of them can stand being in the same room with each other. Well... until THAT night. The night that resulted in a multitude of passions they didn't think they could feel. The night that both of them want to forget but neither of them can stop thinking about. During the day, they go on hating each other as usual. But at night, their bodies explore each other in ways they could hardly dare to dream. It's perfect. Until Nora and Mattheo realize that, perhaps, there's more than hatred in their passion. Perhaps there's even (admittedly) a bit of love. Dusk & Desite is a romance with enemies with benefits to lovers, forced proximity, witty characters, academic rivals, and an infamous Seven Minutes in Heaven scene. It is book #4 in the Slytherin Boys Series but can be read as a standalone.

"It was the way she looked at me, like there was something in me worth looking at" "She's got such a good heart, she really does. It's just been broken, a lot." None of the characters in this story are mine, except for jackson Also I am hoping to make a long story, however believe it or not wattpad is not my only life 🫠 but i will try and write as much as possible. also please feel free to request ideas and give advice (nice advice) I have used some scenes from the actual movies but changed them around a bit to involve you and the boys in the story more. There may also be smut scenes and triggering themes such as suicide, self harm, abuse, eating disorder etc. If you get triggered by these themes or do not like smut I will put a warning. 🔞 for smut scenes and 🚨for triggering scenes. Please do not read until you see the warnings again. I hope you enjoy x Thank youuu ❤️😘

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.
