For years, Tom Riddle was a constant presence in your life. He was your older brother’s closest friend, the boy who spent holidays at your family home, shared countless dinners with the Ashbournes, and barely spared a glance for the younger sibling always lingering nearby. You were simply Alexander’s little sister. Nothing more. Until you weren’t. Now, returning to Hogwarts, the distance between childhood familiarity and something far more dangerous grows smaller with every passing day. Quiet conversations become stolen moments. Lingering glances become impossible to ignore. Every secret brings Tom closer to crossing the one line he never intended to cross. Because some betrayals aren’t planned. They happen one heartbeat at a time. And the only person standing between love and disaster… is the one man Tom has never wanted to betray.
