In an unexpected twist of fate, Harry Potter is transported back in time to 1940s Hogwarts, where he encounters a young Tom Riddle-brilliant, ambitious, and already teetering on the edge of darkness. As Harry navigates the unfamiliar and politically charged atmosphere of the past, he is forced to hide his true identity while attempting to find a way back to his own time. Yet, the more time he spends with Tom, the more entangled he becomes in the complexities of the young man destined to become Voldemort.
Harry's initial mistrust and determination to avoid Tom evolve into something far more complicated as he glimpses the vulnerabilities and humanity hidden behind Riddle's calculating facade. Meanwhile, Tom is drawn to Harry's defiance and power, sparking an obsessive fascination that challenges his tightly controlled ambitions. Their connection deepens through charged encounters, moments of raw vulnerability, and a battle of wills that forces both to confront their beliefs about themselves and each other.
As Harry uncovers the extent of Tom's experiments with dark magic, he must decide how far he's willing to go to change the trajectory of history. Their bond, marked by passion, rivalry, and an undercurrent of unspoken desire, leads to a series of pivotal choices: Harry's plea for Tom to abandon his destructive path and Tom's growing struggle between his ambitions and his feelings for Harry. These choices culminate in a heart-wrenching parting, leaving Harry to return to his timeline uncertain of whether he's made any difference.
Set against the backdrop of Hogwarts' magical traditions and secrets, this story is a deeply emotional exploration of love, morality, and the weight of choices. It weaves themes of hope and heartbreak into a poignant narrative that questions whether redemption is ever truly possible-and what it means to love someone destined for darkness.

Join hogwarts for a mission to change the fate of Lord Voldemort, when he was still the mysterious, two-faced Tom Riddle as you travel back in time in hope of changing his heart with a potion that has the ability of destroying the effects of a love potion's child, making him vulnerable to emotions he's never felt before. How are you able to change the one who knows nothing but destruction and manipulation. P.S. Tom's Time is mixed with Lily's and the rest of the marauders in the story. Also, some timelines are different in general.

VALEDICTORIAN, EGO TE PROVOCO // Tom Marvolo Riddle
Impossibly close to donning the title of the most promising and unfathomably gifted protégé Hogwarts has ever laid eyes upon, the wizarding world would be foolish to ignore such an accomplished scholar. Procuring a seat at the grand table alongside every and all great wizards and witches preceding him, his name would maintain a revered longevity surpassing history itself-Tom Riddle is second to none, none but you. He stands as a salutatorian before you; his clever nature and wisdom beyond his years, extensive honors, accolades that sing nothing but his praises, and noble laurels vanish into a vapid nothingness compared to you. It was less noticeable when the both of you were much younger. Any semblance of academic rivalry was diminished by the fact you were far too sick and weak to even entertain him with faux competition (even if the winner was obvious). Years have passed since then, and the two of you have pursued your own respective aspirations that could not be further apart, all the while just barely preserving your cherished bond. And as Tom worked hard to curate his perfect, idealistic image, and brilliance of unreachable heights, you remained as sick and weak as you once were. And yet, you still best him. Tom cannot escape your shadow, and nothing has changed since your shared youth with the troubled boy. He can continue to excuse it with the fact that you are older than him, one year difference and one year ahead (if only for the sake of his bruised ego), but the truth of the matter is: you've always been better, haven't you? Valedictorian, I challenge you. © 2025 emblematicae

Marked by Desire
❝ I don't want to share you, Y/N, ❞ He leaned in a little closer, his voice dropping to a near whisper. ❝ It's not like you don't know what I mean. It's not just anyone who gets to look at you like that. ❞ ❝ You're mine, Y/N. Don't forget that. ❞ ~~~ In the halls of Hogwarts, power and temptation collide. Y/N had always known Tom Riddle as a brilliant and enigmatic Slytherin with a dangerous aura. But when fate pulls you into his orbit, everything changes. As the line between friendship and something more blurs, you find yourself drawn into a world of intrigue, dark magic, and intense emotions-one that is as thrilling as it is perilous. At first, it's easy to dismiss Tom's attention. His cold, calculated persona never betrays the vulnerability beneath the surface. But as the two of you grow closer, his possessiveness emerges-subtle, then all-consuming. His dark gaze follows you everywhere, a silent claim that no one else dares challenge. As he slowly opens up to you in ways he never has with anyone else, you realize that you've become more than just an ally in his eyes-you've become his. And in a world where power is everything, you can't help but wonder just how far he'll go to keep you by his side. Dark desires. Unspoken bonds. And the suffocating weight of a love bound by shadows. Will you embrace the dangerous allure of the Dark Lord in the making? Or will his possessiveness be too much for you to bear?Complete

Before He Was Voldemort (A Tom Riddle Fanfiction)
Have you ever wondered what life at Hogwarts was really like for Tom Riddle, known by his darker moniker Lord Voldemort? How did he manage juggling life as a student while simultaneously plotting his immortality and tyrannical reign over the Wizarding world? Corinne Carrow, a shy Slytherin witch with a famous family lineage, was certainly not your typical cunning Slytherin. She was the outcast of her very reputable Pureblood family. Throughout her years at Hogwarts, Corinne wasn't fond of socializing much among her peers. That is, until she reached her 6th year, when fate led her to reestablish a friendship with the notorious and tragically handsome Tom Riddle. A complete opposite of Corinne, Tom was an intimidating and brooding character with expertise in the art of persuasion and manipulation. Though for some strange reason, Corinne found herself quite intrigued by him. While everyone else feared Tom and viewed him as potentially dangerous, Corinne overlooked this and saw straight through his dark ways. You may think you know the tragic story of the troubled orphan boy who would eventually become the most feared and immensely powerful Dark wizard in the world. But what you don't know is that the young Dark Lord happened to have one particular companion; one he may have even loved. So if Tom Riddle inadvertently defied his own loveless nature despite all impossibility, what made him not change his ways for Corinne? What made him instead enter a much darker route in life that led him to become the Dark Lord? This is the alternate story of Tom Marvolo Riddle, before he was Voldemort.Complete
