Unexpected Encounters | Tom Riddle

{Tom Riddle x OC}

When Lilia Potter is killed by Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries, she knows she failed. Living in the shadow of her twin brother, Harry Potter, her greatest wish was to step out from his legacy and be remembered for her own achievements. But all of that shatters the day of her death.

Until she wakes up- more than fifty years in the past.

It should be a cruel joke, but it's real. Voldemort is alive, yet not as the Dark Lord she knows. Here, he is simply Tom Riddle- a clever boy whose charm and enigma draw her in against her better judgment.

Tom Riddle and Voldemort are not the same, she tells herself, even as her heart begins to wrestle with forbidden feelings for him. But her growing connection with Tom may come at a cost, especially when another shadow looms over the timeline: Grindelwald.

When Grindelwald discovers pieces of her mysterious past, everything becomes far more dangerous. Lilia's second chance at life might be her most perilous yet.

⋆ Aka: a story where she finally learns what it means to be someone's first choice. ⋆
