Bellum Cordium = War of Hearts
While Harry, Hermione, and Ron are trying to stop Voldemort from taking over the wizarding world...
another kind of war is brewing inside the walls of Hogwarts. Quieter. Way more personal.

Mattheo Riddle was never meant to be just another student.
He's the secret son of Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange, raised to obey and trained to destroy.
His mission? Watch Potter. Report back. No emotions. No mercy. No attachments.
Feelings? Weakness.
Love? A liability.

Then there's Alya Rosier. Slytherin's ice queen.
The flawless heir of Evan Rosier and Rosalind Montague . Pureblood royalty wrapped in silk, secrets, and sharpened smiles.
She was born to walk the same dark path as Mattheo.
But something in her has always resisted it.
She hates everything he stands for-his bloodline, his name, and the legacy he wears like armor.
And him?
He hates the way she walks like she owns the world.
The way she's not afraid of him like everyone else is.
The way she sees right through him.

A forbidden bond that could bring them salvation...
or destroy everything they know.
