People change. Sometimes for the worse.
This is the story of Hogwarts when Tom Riddle was there, and how the lure of the Dark Arts led him, and the people he dragged in his wake, to madness.
Story Notes: Hey all,As you can probably tell, two things I enjoy are writing and Harry Potter. This is the story where the two coincide. This is my first Harry Potter fanfiction, but by no means is it my first time writing, so I aim for a certain level of quality in each of my chapters. I've had this idea sitting at the back of my head for a while, but now I’ve decided to bring it to the fore and see where it'll take me.
A brief note before we begin:
Due to this story being a Historical fic, I try to stick to canon as much as possible. This grows harder when delving into topics that weren't mentioned in detail in the books, so I rely on my own interpretation in these points to guide the story forward. Some of my interpretations of canon may differ from your own, but I try my best to stick to the world that's established in the books. I'm writing this story for fun, so I hope you'll enjoy the idea as much as I am!
(Title derives from the book "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" by Stephen King. That book has nothing to do with this story's plot, just so you know.)
