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!

"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."

Ephemeral Bliss || Where did it all go wrong? - Year 4
It's time for her fourth year at Hogwarts. A certain 7th year catches her eyes, however, she is too young for him. Y/n is ambitious, which is why she is a Slytherin, but will her ambition get her in trouble? Will she get the man of her dreams? And has her best friend forgiven her yet? ________________________ Harry Potter with a (female) reader insert. It's based off the movies, not the books. It will be in the third person but follows the reader's pov, if you know what I mean. Don't correct anything or state your dislike please, it's fanfiction and not that deep, if you don't like it, then simply stop reading it and move on. Also, if you are here for a specific character, you'll most likely see them in future parts of the series, so I'll put the following list in every description, and of course at the end of each I'll give the next books name so you can find it.

Eliana Rosier has always been fierce, reckless, and untouchable-exactly what a future Death Eater should be. But when she returns to Hogwarts for her sixth year, she's not just the sharp-tongued fighter everyone remembers-she's stronger, bolder, and impossible to ignore. Mattheo Riddle has spent years playing games, thriving on chaos, and leaving broken hearts in his wake. But Eliana? She's the one girl who never fell for his charm, the one opponent who never backed down. Their rivalry is legendary, their insults sharper than any hex, and yet-there's something between them neither of them will admit. With Hogwarts on the brink of war and the Dark Lord's influence growing, alliances are tested, friendships are fractured, and enemies become something far more dangerous. But when Mattheo makes a move that shatters the fragile balance between them-dating someone Eliana despises-she's forced to decide what's more important: revenge or something far more dangerous... the truth about what they really are to each other. Between late-night fights, secret parties, and the looming darkness of war, Eliana and Mattheo are caught in a dangerous game where the only rule is this-never fall first. Mattheo Riddle × OC

the sink hole of loving you //mattheo riddle
He lifts me onto the desk. "what're you doing?" I ask out of breath. "I'm going insane." he says, getting closer. "wh-what?" " I can't think of anything but you. I could barely hold myself back from barging into that classroom and putting my hands all over you right in front of malfoy." "really?" I ask in a small voice. "yes. g*d yes. you were so hot putting him in his place.'' I smile a small smile. He puts his hands on my waist and puts his mouth by my ear. "I don't think you realize what you do to me" he touches his lips to my skin and makes a trail of fiery kisses down my neck, across my jaw, and up to the corner of my mouth, before he finally crashes his lips onto mine. ------------------------- Claire Williamsly and Mattheo Riddle have been best friends for awhile.

The Bet. The Fall. The Ruin | 18+ | MR x OC
I should've known it was too good to be real. The way he touched me. The way he looked at me like I was more than just another girl in the hallway. Mattheo Riddle doesn't fall. He plays. He wins. He walks away. And I-I was just part of a bet. I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I just stopped showing up. Because if he could lie with his hands and kiss me with his mouth full of secrets- Then I could leave without a word. And now we're back, on the same train, heading toward the same castle. But everything between us is gone. And the worst part? I still look for him.
