The scene is set for the year 1943. The second world war unfurls like a steady burn, and the wizarding world begins to descend into a chaos of its own. Gwendolyn Gawmdrey leaves prestigious and dark Durmstrang Institute to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for her sixth year of schooling. There, she encounters friendship, death, and the mysterious and arrogant Tom Riddle. She soon finds herself plunged into a world of power, deceit, and manipulation.
As the year surges onward, the malevolent boy and the Dark Arts begin to draw Gwen in, but under the curious gaze of Professor Albus Dumbledore, there's something else. But has the renowned wizard failed to realize that Gwendolyn Gawmdrey might have demons of her own? Perhaps one must know the darkness before being able to appreciate the light.

Unexpected Encounters | Tom Riddle
{Tom Riddle x OC} When Lilia Potter is killed by Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries, she knows she failed. Living in the shadow of her twin brother, Harry Potter, her greatest wish was to step out from his legacy and be remembered for her own achievements. But all of that shatters the day of her death. Until she wakes up- more than fifty years in the past. It should be a cruel joke, but it's real. Voldemort is alive, yet not as the Dark Lord she knows. Here, he is simply Tom Riddle- a clever boy whose charm and enigma draw her in against her better judgment. Tom Riddle and Voldemort are not the same, she tells herself, even as her heart begins to wrestle with forbidden feelings for him. But her growing connection with Tom may come at a cost, especially when another shadow looms over the timeline: Grindelwald. When Grindelwald discovers pieces of her mysterious past, everything becomes far more dangerous. Lilia's second chance at life might be her most perilous yet. β Aka: a story where she finally learns what it means to be someone's first choice. β Highest rankings: #4 in hogwartsschoolofwitchcraftandwizardry #1 in tomriddlelovestory #1 in timetravel #1 in hurt-comfort #1 in hogwarts #1 in wizard #1 in time #1 in #ptsd Disclaimer: All characters, settings, and elements from the Harry Potter universe belong to J.K.

destruction | tom riddle
β "You are my ruin - and my salvation." β Lilith Vale was born different - too sharp, too cold, and far too powerful for someone so young. Raised on dark magic and haunted by her father's death, she's spent her life searching for the spell that destroyed him... and nearly took her with it. Now in her final year at Hogwarts, she wears the badge of Head Girl like a mask. To the rest of the school, she's brilliant, distant, untouchable. But underneath, Lilith is spiraling - unraveling under the weight of secrets, survivor's guilt, and a hunger for knowledge that no book seems able to satisfy. Then comes him.. Tom Riddle - charming, calculated, and dangerously intelligent. He's the only one who sees her as more than a quiet storm. And the only one whose mind she can't seem to read. He wants to know what she's hiding. She wants to know why he's watching. Their connection is a game of power and proximity. A cold war wrapped in stolen glances and veiled threats. But something dark is stirring at Hogwarts - students are disappearing, ancient symbols are resurfacing, and Lilith is getting too close to the truth. To the truth about her father. To the truth about Tom. And to the truth about herself. Because some magic isn't meant to be studied. Some obsessions aren't meant to be survived. And some love stories are written only to end in destruction. β½ο½‘βComplete
