Time thrust Hari Potter, now the immortal Master of Death, back to the era of a boy who will one day become the darkest wizard of all time: Tom Marvolo Riddle. But this Tom is still just a lonely child, three years old and desperate for love. Taking up the old name Nepeta Peverell, Hari adopts him into her family and vows to give him the childhood he deserves.
Can she protect him from the path of darkness? Can she shield him from the cruelties of the world? Or is history unchangeable no matter how much love she pours into him?
This is the story of how Tom Marvolo Riddle became Tom Marvolo Peverell - guided by a sister, mentor, and mother-figure who knows exactly what the future once held.

I do not own the characters or settings of Harry Potter at all, and I am only creating this story for my and others' entertainment.

Before He Was Voldemort (A Tom Riddle Fanfiction) by MeganWritesBooks
44 parts Complete
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.

The Serpent and The Raven | Tom Riddle by cloudymoodsss
112 parts Ongoing Mature
"In a world of whispered secrets and broken vows, a Raven dares to outwit the Serpent." Tom's eyes flicked almost lazily to the tip of her wand, and his lips curved in something dangerously close to a smile. His eyes moved back to her face. "Still so quick to defend yourself, Travers," he said, almost fondly. "Tell me what you're doing," she said through her teeth. He crouched, picked up a stone from the forest floor, and stood. "Answer a question for me, Selene," he said. "What are your favorite flowers?" She narrowed her eyes. "Why?" He just looked at her. And in turn, she glared at him, refusing to answer. But the answer bloomed in her thoughts anyway-quiet, unbidden. Peonies. He nodded once, almost as if he had heard her thoughts, and raised his wand over the stone. His lips moved, barely audible, a soft and intricate spell she didn't recognize. And before her eyes, the rock bloomed. Selene Evangeline Travers has never been one to seek attention. A pureblood in Ravenclaw, she has learned to navigate the expectations placed upon her-an unwanted engagement, a carefully crafted future. Tom Marvolo Riddle is the name spoken in whispers. Brilliant, untouchable, and ruthless, he moves through Hogwarts like a king among men. No one questions him. No one dares to. Their paths should never have crossed. But when Professor Slughorn assigns Tom as her tutor, Selene is drawn-unintentionally-into the sights of someone who does not take kindly to surprises. And Tom Riddle does not let go of what intrigues him. ----- The detailed description is available inside the book's Prologue. ----- Highest Rankings: #1 in riddle #1 in darklord #1 in pureblood #1 in wizardingworld #1 in salazar #1 in voldemort #1 in jkrowling #1 in tomriddle #1 in salazarslytherin #1 in horcrux #1 in tommarvoloriddle #1 in slytherin #1 in hogwarts #1 in heir

The Pure Heir

42 parts Complete Mature

So you thought Tom Riddle was the only heir left from Salazar? You were wrong. Marvolo had a sister Myrella Gaunt. It's ok that you forgot her. Her family did disown her after all and she left the UK far behind. That is how a pure heir came to be. Not a half blood like Tom but pure. However, despite her pureness she didn't feel hatred for those who weren't pure. She knew better. Her family chased magic and science. They were quite aware of the truth. So follow Katarina Kamenova Debrova as she puts all the pieces in the right order to save the wizarding world. Weasley Twins X OC X Regulus Arcturus Black
