This is the Tale of a girl called Clara Sayre and a boy called Tom Riddle.
A tale of childhood ties, dangerous destinies, and the quiet love that was bound to change everything... but didn't.

She meets him long before Hogwarts - in the orphanage that shaped them both.
Two children with , Two quiet kids with too many secrets and shadows that cling to them. Drawn together by a bond neither of them can fully name.

She calls what they have friendship.
Tom calls it an accomplice.
Either way, they become inseparable.

At Hogwarts, their bond only sharpens.
Where others fear him, she understands him.
Where she shines with warmth, he glows with darkness.
Together they navigate magic, ambition, and the fragile line between brilliance and danger.

There are mistakes, fights, late-night whispers, soft comforts, cuddles, and promises he almost believes he can keep. For a moment, Tom Riddle seems changed - less hungry for power, less obsessed with eternity.

But you see, life isn't kind like that, No. Not all Stories have Happy Endings. Oh Yes, A Very Cruel twist of Fate sees to that.
Not all stories choose happy endings.
