she thought she needed a love potion to make tom riddle love her. she was wrong. when y/n nightvale arrives at hogwarts, she quickly becomes part of one of slytherin’s most talked-about friend groups. but while everyone else sees tom riddle as cold, ambitious, and incapable of love, y/n can’t stop falling for him. after months of secretly studying potions, she finally creates a love potion and gives it to tom. and suddenly, everything changes. tom becomes devoted to her. protective. affectionate. completely unlike the boy everyone knows. but the potion doesn’t last forever. when it wears off, tom returns to the person he was before—and everyone assumes his feelings have disappeared with it. except they haven’t. because the potion never made tom love y/n. it only showed her what he had been hiding all along. she thought she created his love. she never realised she’d already stolen his heart.
