Ravenclaw's greatest secret lay hidden in the tower's highest common room, concealed behind the yellowed pages of every precious book. It was a creation more intricate than a Time-Turner, the culmination of Ravenclaw's lifelong wisdom, and an endless exploration of the most powerful magic in the world.
This secret turned back time, not merely to the starting point, but to the very beginning. Hogwarts looked much as it had decades ago, but what kind of predicament had the boy from back then fallen into now?
A cool and elegant Slytherin and a calm, clever Ravenclaw. The fated rivalry between a serpent lying in wait and an eagle soaring high, mortal enemies by nature. Dazzling sparks burst from the tips of their wands. A dreamlike half-life flashed by like a revolving lantern, and the mystery woven from the intersecting timelines remained unsolved. Life is full of signs that guide us to meet.
Dumbledore told Harry, "Love is the greatest magic in the world."
Perhaps those words were the truth that explained everything. The first wild idea from F Qiu: a lighthearted short story, pairing: Tom Riddle x Cho Chang. Not a canon stickler. I respect the original work and all its characters, but I may not follow the original plot. Characters may be out of character. Proceed with caution if that's a problem, and please don't read if it's not to your taste.
Wow, it's been ten years. I wonder if I will write a new article about Qiu Zhang 🐶🌹
