You didn’t fit into the perfect world that Tom Riddle had meticulously crafted in his mind. His vision of a flawless existence, free from the imperfections and chaos of the ordinary world, was starkly at odds with the reality of your vibrant, unpredictable presence. Yet, despite the discord between his ideal and your reality, Tom’s love for you was unwavering. He cherished you with a depth that transcended his usual cool and composed demeanor. Where he was the epitome of control and precision, you were a whirlwind of beautiful chaos, bringing color and warmth into his otherwise meticulously ordered life.

But, as often happens in stories where love struggles against a backdrop of conflict, it wasn’t enough. The world they had carefully built together was shattered when war erupted, ravaging everything you held dear. The devastation was profound, reducing the life you once knew to ruins. In the face of such overwhelming destruction, Tom faced a harrowing choice. To protect you from the inevitable fallout of his actions and the dangers that came with being associated with him, he cast the Obliviate charm.

The spell, a powerful and painful act, erased all traces of your shared past from your memory. The moments of joy, the whispered secrets, the intimate glances—everything that bound you together was obliterated. When you awoke to this new reality, you were left a hollow reflection of who you had been. The vibrant connection you once shared with Tom was now a gaping void, leaving you with only fragments of who you used to be.

Years later, with the war long over and a semblance of peace restored, you find yourself living alone, trying to piece together a life from the fragments left behind. One day, a man arrives at your door. It’s Tom—yet he is a stranger to you, someone you have no recollection of. The man who once was your entire world now stands before you, a ghost from a past you cannot remember.
