1944. The war spreads beyond the Muggle world, and inside Hogwarts, something far older stirs - patient, cursed, and waiting.
Medea Ashbourne returns for her seventh year with more than a name. Born into a bloodline feared for its power and cursed for its Sight, her dreams bleed into waking life - soaked in crimson, screaming with omens she cannot silence. The Ministry turns its face. Grindelwald rises in the East. The shadows close in.
And always nearby is Tom Riddle.
Ambitious. Brilliant. Dangerous. The one rival she cannot afford - and the one her bloodline may already be tied to.
Their bond was never meant to exist.
But curses do not ask permission.
And neither does fate.
Et in tenebris, vinculum factum est.
Even in darkness, a bond was made.
A.n This is a slow-burn, gothic fiction set in 1940s Hogwarts, with a cursed heroine and a canon-compliant Tom Riddle. There will be prophecy, obsession, rivalry, blood, legacy, and fate. This is not a love story. And yet -
it might become one.
Thank you for reading 🤍

The price of time
Death had always walked beside her, a shadow stitched to her soul. She fought. She won. But what was left to claim? The castle around her - the only home she had ever known - was crumbling into ruin. Stone shattered under fire. Bodies carpeted the ground, faces she would never forget, lives she had failed to save. Victory meant nothing when it was built on a graveyard. She was alone. And worse, she was alive. She had died before. Had died and returned, as if cursed to never know peace, cursed to be the master of death, forever hunted by the thing that should have claimed her. Death It was her shadow, her lover, and her tormentor. It whispered to her in the silence, tugged at her with every breath she drew, a cat playing with its prey, savoring the chase. She tried to undo it - to tear a hole in time, to claw back 46 hours, to steal even one life from the jaws of death. But time does not bargain with the broken. It is a vengeful thing, wild and cold. It seized her, flung her not back 46 hours but 46 years, into a past dripping with shadows and secrets. The castle stood whole then - but the rot was already there, festering beneath the stone. And Death, patient and cruel, was already waiting for her in the cracks of the world, ready to finish what it had begun. Smiling at her from the darkness.

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
