Born to Salazar Slytherin's lineage, Tom Riddle bore every trait expected for the Heir of Slytherin.

Cunning.

Ambitious.

Resilient.

All his traits matched to what was recorded of most heirs.

Then there's Namiya Yao.

Born to the Yao lineage, those who knows distance themselves from the girl.

She, too, matched the traits recorded of most heirs.

Curious.

Kind.

Playful.

A humour with a little twist, although it had became normal within the family.

But... was that all? Were they only what expected from their blood?

The two met before the world had fully corrupted them.

A loud girl seeking for a person to be called friend.

A quiet boy screaming to the world to either leave him alone or bow under his will.

When they were forced to separate from eachother-

None of them planned to let their years of 'friendship' goes to waste.

Despite being friends...

There were countless things they kept from one another.

Namiya, with a little help from something, had uncovered almost all of Riddle's secret.

Riddle, with no help from anyone or anything, had discovered only a bit of her.

Her past? Nothing.

Her guardians? Some. But not all.

And most importantly... what was she?

And fate, had played its ironic hand. After four years of separation...

Riddle finally got the chance to try and dig about her again.

Except that she was no longer the girl he once knew.

And btw Wattpad kept switching em dahses to these ' - '. If you see those in an unsuitable place, it's actually an em dash. I've tried fixing it, but Wattpad changed it again. Hope you don't mind :)
