She was just a witch girl with a gift. A gift that allowed her to travel backwards and forwards in time. When she first arrived at Hogwarts, she never thought that she would be the only person who could go back in time and prevent anything bad from happening. It was in her third year at Hogwarts that Headmaster Dumbledore had found out about her gift. So he sends her back 50 years to stop the most powerful dark wizard from becoming Voldemort. But can she stop him? Or is he just too powerful, even for a girl that is the strongest witch of all time?
Excerpt: "Wanna try that again, Sweetheart?" He asks, pinning my back and arms against the wall, leaning his face in towards mine. My breathing is heavy, and I glare at him.
"I hate you." I say menacingly, wishing I meant the words I had just said.
"And I love you." He says, and leans in closer, his lips brushing against mine. Our lips meet, and I feel the fire igniting within my heart, as his hands let go of my arms, his hands slipping around my waist, and I wrap my arms around his neck, kissing him back with everything I have. At that moment, I know I am in way too deep. I have fallen in love with the most powerful Dark Wizard of all time.
― "You are my ruin - and my salvation." ―
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.
