Summary
Tom Riddle is used to being the cleverest wizard in the room—until a new transfer student upends his final year at Hogwarts. She’s cryptic, composed, and a little vindictive, but in Slytherin, that’s nothing out of the ordinary.
Still, Tom can’t help but feel there’s something off about her.

Summary
An alternate universe where Voldemort never heard a specific prophecy and triumphed in the First Wizarding War, dismantling the Ministry of Magic and seizing control over magical Britain. The Order of the Phoenix was destroyed, and Albus Dumbledore fell early in the fight, leaving no one strong enough to challenge the Dark Lord’s rule. The Statute of Secrecy remains intact, but Voldemort’s shadow reaches into the Muggle world. The Ministry now serves him, Hogwarts trains the next generation of Death Eaters, and Muggleborns have been nearly wiped out—or so Voldemort thinks.

Summary
“You can do it, too?” Hermione’s voice was just a whisper, as if someone would hear them.
“Of course I can,” Tom stated proudly. “I’ve been able to do all of that since before you came to the orphanage.”
Hermione shifted. “I think it’s why I was sent to the orphanage.” Her words were careful, and Tom knew she was disclosing her deepest truth then.
“You’re better off with me.” His words were firm. “If we can both do this, we should stick together.”

Summary
Hermione Granger has lost everything. The war, the people she loved, even her future—gone. Now, thrust into 1954, she faces a far more insidious battle: dismantling Tom Riddle’s rise to power before it begins.
But the Tom of this timeline is no fractured monster. Charming, ruthless, and impossibly brilliant, he commands the world around him with precision—and he’s watching her just as closely as she watches him. Every conversation is a game, every glance a calculated move.
As Hermione’s carefully laid plans falter under his unrelenting scrutiny, she’s forced to confront a chilling truth: the man she came to destroy might be the only one who truly sees her. And he might not let her go.
Dark, seductive, and layered with moral ambiguity, this is a story of obsession, power, and the perilous pull of the one person you cannot afford to want.

Summary
Six years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Auror Hermione Granger activated a mysterious dark object, which unexpectedly sent her decades into the past.
Tom Riddle, now known as Voldemort, returned to British wizarding society in 1966 after a decade-long absence. Under the guise of interviewing for the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching position, he arrived at Hogwarts to conceal one of his Horcruxes. But he soon discovered that the coveted position had been stolen a week earlier by an intriguing witch.
As manipulative schemes emerged, tension evolved into a ruinous obsession.
