SUNLIGHT ON SNOW

Evie Hendrix is warm, soft, and gentle-the kind of girl who smiles at everyone. Tom Riddle is the exact opposite: cold, distant, and claiming he can't stand her from the moment they meet.

She talks too much.
She's too kind.
And she doesn't fear him like everyone else.

Tom says he hates her, but Evie keeps showing up in his day-in the library, in class, in quiet winter corners of Hogwarts. And slowly, without meaning to, he starts paying attention. He listens. He watches. He cares, silently.

He'll never say it out loud, but Evie becomes the one person he can't push away... no matter how cold he acts.
