[Harry Potter + two equally powerful leads + the heroine overwhelmingly stronger + raising him + Ravenclaw’s Vertin Shafiq VS Slytherin’s Tom Riddle + secondary couple: Dumbledore VS Grindelwald + special guest appearance by the Hogwarts Legacy Big Bad himself + world history crossover]
Vertin, a woman of absolute reason and overwhelming power, likes seeing the world in chaos. So she sets her sights on Tom, the not-yet-grown Dark Lord.
The young Dark Lord, immature and still forming his worldview, has yet to learn who truly rules the magical world. Then he meets the child truly favored by Merlin.
Early Vertin:
“Humans are social creatures, after all.”
“Social creatures make rules.”
“The strong can overturn the rules.”
“Tom, turn evil!”
I’m going to raise him into the worst villain imaginable, let him wreak havoc in the wizarding world, then sit back and enjoy the show.
Early Tom: She’s so powerful! How does she know so much? She’s always taking care of me!
Later Vertin: What? You don’t plan to turn evil anymore? You want to join the Ministry of Magic?!
Later Tom: Vivi, could you really destroy your most perfect creation, the one you raised with your own hands? Vivi, whoever you want to see fall, I’ll make them fall. Whatever method you like, I’ll make it happen. No one will dare defy you. This world will become your enormous playground.
