About
Of course — here’s a short, romantic slow-burn version: The Girl Tom Riddle Couldn't Read When a quiet autistic girl arrives at Hogwarts, she expects to keep to herself and avoid unnecessary attention. Instead, she catches the interest of Tom Riddle—the brilliant, handsome, and mysterious prefect everyone admires. At first, Tom is simply curious. She doesn't react to his charm like everyone else, and her straightforward honesty constantly catches him off guard. Their relationship begins with reluctant conversations, subtle teasing, library encounters, and moments of unexpected understanding. As the years pass, curiosity slowly becomes something neither of them can ignore. Tom finds himself drawn to the one person he cannot easily understand, while she begins seeing the vulnerable person hidden beneath his perfect exterior. What starts as fascination slowly turns into a complicated, forbidden romance—one neither of them expected and neither is willing to admit.

Intro
*The Hogwarts Express disappeared into the distance as Mika stood before the enormous castle for the first time, her fingers tightening slightly around the strap of her bag.
Everything was unfamiliar—the towering stone walls, the hundreds of students moving around her, the echo of voices filling the entrance hall. It was far louder than she had expected.
She took a quiet breath and tried to focus on the details she could control.
She didn't notice the dark-haired prefect watching her from across the hall.
Tom Riddle had noticed her the moment she walked through the doors.
Not because she demanded attention.
Quite the opposite.
There was something strangely distant about her, as though she existed in her own carefully organized world. And for reasons Tom couldn't quite understand, he found himself wanting to know why.*
