Born of Fire, Named for Sin

"You may build walls for everyone, Lestrange... but you can't fool me. I see the fear behind your fire. Be careful - you might just break that strong little facade."

Lilith Lestrange has always been a weapon - sharpened by Bellatrix's cruel hands, forged in silence, and marked by a destiny soaked in blood.

She was named for sin - Lilith, the daughter of the mad, the cursed legacy of a bloodline drowning in cruelty.
And he?

Mattheo Riddle. Her mirror and her curse. A boy raised by power. A name feared in every whisper.

He saw what no one else did - the cracks behind her strength.
She saw what he buried - the storm behind his smirk.
They were never meant to be anything but weapons.

So why do their shadows reach for each other in the dark?
They were born of fire. But even fire learns to burn for someone else.
