the seven devils [tom riddle]

Summary:

"I would slit your throat before you got past Avada, Riddle."
In 1926, Grindelwald is captured for the first time by Newt Scamander, making his followers go into hiding. The Petrov family, an ancient pure-blood eastern European family, is forced to flee to Romania while chased by the Ministry of Magic. While waiting for Grindlewald's return, the family has their first daughter, Varya Petrov. Soon after, her parents are killed by Grindleward's enemies. After attending Scholomance, a small magic school hidden in the depths of Transylvania's forests, for four years, she is called to Hogwarts. Dumbledore has a mission that only she will be capable to do: to stop Tom Riddle from succumbing to his darkest desire. Varya only has one wish: to redeem her parents' mistakes and find her place in the wizarding world. She will do anything to achieve it, even if it means changing the devil's fate.

Notes:

PREFACE

I do not own Tom Riddle or any other Harry Potter character. I do not own the Harry Potter franchise or world. The only original characters are the Petrov family and any other OC's that I might add along the way. Please be advised that parts of the timeline have been adapted to fit the story. This is an Alternate Universe story, which means that I am at liberty to change what I see fit.
Scholomance is a school of magic that does not belong to the Harry Potter universe. Rather than that, it is taken from Romanian folklore. The rules and practices are extremely different, to the extent that most consider it to be outside of the wizarding world. This story incorporates folklore and tales of Eastern Europe. Please keep in mind that while reading this story.

 

REVIEW:
"To all the people who just clicked on this book, you won't regret it. If for some reason the first few chapters are not enough to lure you in, give it a few more. You will not regret it.
The writing is immaculate, and the plot is just- *chefs kiss*
This book has me dreaming about it I swear. I have had dreams about this. And the fact that the author updates almost every day makes it a thousand times better. I'm addicted. ADDICTED I SAY AND IT TAKES A LOT FOR ME TO LIKE A STORY. I literally only have 15 stories that I would reread, and I've read a lot. "

Chapter 1: preface

Chapter Text

“From childhood’s hour I have not been

As others were—I have not seen

As others saw—I could not bring

My passions from a common spring—

From the same source I have not taken

My sorrow—I could not awaken

My heart to joy at the same tone—

And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—

Then—in my childhood—in the dawn

Of a most stormy life—was drawn

From ev’ry depth of good and ill

The mystery which binds me still—

From the torrent, or the fountain—

From the red cliff of the mountain—

From the sun that ’round me roll’d

In its autumn tint of gold—

From the lightning in the sky

As it pass’d me flying by—

From the thunder, and the storm—

And the cloud that took the form

(When the rest of Heaven was blue)

Of a demon in my view”—

Alone - Edgar Allen Poe
