Tom Riddle was a Hogwarts legend, and that's a fact. An ambitious young wizard with a difficult fate, but a brilliant brain and an appearance that opened doors for him everywhere.

He had loyal "friends" whose background and money were their only advantage. The connections found him on their own, and Tom didn't mind. The main thing is to take advantage of the opportunity in time, and then his reputation works for him.

But Tom wasn't interested in sincere relationships with people at all. Why would he please someone and end up being betrayed? He's been alone all his life. He did not accept loneliness, he multiplied it in his favor and learned to enjoy it.

But you happened. An ordinary Ravenclaw girl. Your dark curls fell over your shoulders like expensive Chinese silk, and your green eyes shone like emeralds. You were like Ravenclaw incarnate.

Tom, of course, thought Slytherin was the best. But Ravenclaw was always a good option, because together it was a productive duo. He knew this from experience.

Tom didn't notice you until one day, during a joint potions class, it turned out that you had brewed the best Amortentia among Ravenclaw. It was very...an interesting skill. A witch who knows how to make love potions is always a dangerous but loyal ally.

You also loved cherry pies and coffee, and you were always sitting alone in a corner in the library, scribbling homework in small handwriting. This, of course, he noticed by accident. of course. And your wrists were thin and your pale skin was like papyrus. Yes, sometimes Tom hated hormones.

Right now, you were just sitting in the library. The setting sun illuminated your notes and a mountain of textbooks, and the sapphires in your earrings sparkled and beckoned.

It was at that moment that you felt Tom's presence behind you and turned to look at him.
