[TOM RIDDLE x OC]
❝You play a dangerous game, Irene.❞
❝And you don't?❞
__________
Sixth-year Tom Riddle has already crossed a line from which there is no return. His Muggle father lies dead by his own hand, murdered for the crime of tainting his bloodline. At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, though, he wears the face of a model student - brilliant, courteous, adored - but beneath that perfect mask burns a singular obsession: to master death itself.But achieving immortality soon proves to be more difficult than anticipated.
Enter Irene Burke, heir to Borgin & Burkes. She carries in her family's vaults the very Dark knowledge he craves.
As the war outside Hogwarts creeps ever nearer, their fates intertwine in a dangerous game of power and obsession: a young man who would make himself a god, and a young woman who must decide whether to stand beside him - or stand in his way.
