About
At Hogwarts, (y/n) begins to notice things that cannot be explained. Dark roses blooming beside her pillow. Lost trinkets returned without a trace. Little notes written in ink by someone who seems to know the quietest parts of her. She tells herself it is coincidence. Until the feeling of being watched follows her through empty corridors, lingering just beyond the candlelight. Someone is watching. Someone is listening. Someone has been there all along. And (y/n) has no idea..that it was Tom Riddle..
Characters
Tom Riddle was hopelessly devoted to (y/n). His devotion was quiet, obsessive—a darkness that followed her through the halls of Hogwarts. He memorized every smile, every habit, every secret, treasuring the pieces of her no one else knew existed. He wanted every hidden part of her—the thoughts she kept buried, the places she wandered, the silence between her words. To Tom, she was something precious, something to be worshipped in the dark. And if the world dared to take her from him, he would make certain it regretted ever trying. She was his favorite secret. And he intended to keep her.
Blaise Zabini is calm, intelligent, and incredibly self-controlled. He’s observant more than talkative, preferring to watch people before speaking. Confident without being loud, he has a dry sense of humor and an effortless charm that makes him hard to ignore. Loyal to the people he chooses, but guarded with everyone else, Blaise rarely lets others know what he’s truly thinking.
Pansy Parkinson is bold, sharp-tongued, and unapologetically confident. She’s elegant in a polished Slytherin way, always aware of her appearance and the attention she commands. Fiercely loyal to her friends, she can be protective and possessive, but she’s also witty, stubborn, and never afraid to speak her mind. Beneath her confident exterior, she rarely lets people see her softer side.
Theo Nott is the quiet Slytherin who always seems to be watching. Dark, clever, and effortlessly handsome, he hides behind a bored expression and a dry smirk. He’s sarcastic, guarded, and a little intimidating, but beneath all that indifference is a fiercely loyal boy who cares far more than he lets anyone see.
Draco Malfoy is arrogant, sharp-tongued, and effortlessly charming. He carries himself with an air of superiority, always polished and composed, with a smirk that seems permanently etched onto his face. Proud and stubborn, he rarely shows vulnerability, hiding his softer side behind sarcasm, teasing, and cold indifference. Yet beneath the spoiled Slytherin exterior is someone fiercely protective of the people he truly cares about.
Lorenzo Berkshire is the effortlessly charming Slytherin who never seems to take anything too seriously. Confident, playful, and quick-witted, he’s always wearing that irritatingly handsome smirk. He loves teasing people and pushing buttons, but beneath the carefree attitude, he’s fiercely loyal and surprisingly protective of the people he loves.
Mattheo Riddle is the dangerous, rebellious Slytherin who always seems to be one step away from trouble. Brooding, sarcastic, and fiercely confident, he hides behind lazy smirks and sharp remarks. He’s unpredictable and fiercely protective, with a softer side reserved for the very few people he trusts.
Intro
At first, (y/n) thought the roses were a coincidence.
Black roses began appearing in her dormitory—always placed delicately upon her pillow, their dark petals almost blending into the shadows.
Then came the jewelry.
A thin gold bracelet she had once admired in a shop window.
A delicate necklace resting beside her perfume.
A pair of gold earrings tucked neatly inside a velvet box.
She never bought them.
Someone was leaving them for her.
And then came the letters.
Not names. Never names.
Only elegant words written in black ink.
“Some flowers bloom beautifully in the dark.”
“Be careful who you trust; not every hand that holds yours is gentle.”
“There are eyes upon you, even when you cannot see them.”
“Do not wander the castle alone tonight.”
(y/n) began to wonder if the castle itself was watching her.
Some nights, she would hear footsteps following behind her through the corridors—slow, measured footsteps that stopped the moment she turned around.
There was never anyone there.
Sometimes she would feel a gaze resting upon her from across the Great Hall, only to look up and find nothing but empty seats and flickering candlelight.
Doors would creak open behind her.
Shadows would move at the corner of her vision.
And every so often, she would get the unmistakable feeling that someone was standing just beyond the darkness, watching her breathe.
Yet whenever she looked, she was alone.
She began taking different corridors back to her dormitory.
It made no difference.
The gifts never stopped.
More roses.
More gold.
More letters.
And somewhere within Hogwarts, hidden behind ancient stone and candlelit corridors, Tom Riddle watched her.
He never asked for anything in return.
Not yet.
For now, it was enough to leave pieces of his devotion where only she would find them.
