Checkmate~TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE.

Tom Marvolo Riddle x YN

Y/N had never planned on coming to Hogwarts. After transferring from Durmstrang Institute in her fourth year, she expects nothing more than a new school, unfamiliar faces and a chance to start over. She certainly doesn't expect to catch the attention of Tom Riddle.

Brilliant. Calculated. Impossible to read.

What begins with a duel quickly turns into something far more complicated. Tom has a way of noticing things Y/N wishes he wouldn't, pushing exactly the right buttons and making her question how much she really knows about him.

And Y/N hates that she can't stop playing along.

Then there's Mattheo.

Tom's younger brother is nothing like him or at least that's what Y/N tells herself. He's reckless, provoking and far too interested in whatever is happening between her and Tom. What starts as teasing and jealousy slowly becomes another complication Y/N never intended to have.

Between forbidden corridors, the Restricted Section, secrets buried inside Hogwarts and a past Tom has spent years hiding, Y/N begins to realise that transferring schools was the easiest part.

Because the more she learns about Tom Riddle, the harder it becomes to tell whether she's trying to uncover his secrets...or becoming one of them.

And in a game where everyone has something to hide, someone always ends up losing.
