[Harry Potter] The Ghost Mother

Tom Riddle thought he would remain at the Wool's Orphanage until he was old enough to make his own way in the world. Then a strange woman took him away from the orphanage, and it seemed he had finally gained his freedom.

But he had only fallen into another uncontrollable abyss.

Ieta Grindelwald, a legendary witch. Her fame and infamy were equally renowned. Wizards revered her, feared her, and longed for her like moths drawn to a flame. She gave him her own surname, becoming his "mother," and the nightmare that clung to his life.

When Tom, unwilling to accept his lot, built up his own power and thought he could finally escape this green swamp, he discovered traces of her hand in every part of his fate. The moment he took her hand, Riddle's life ceased to belong to him.

But when Tom realized this, he trembled and broke into an excited grin.

Wickedness and motherhood, brutality and tenderness: she makes you long for her even as she terrifies you. You are a piece of your mother's flesh, but she will never let you touch the ground.

1. A ghostly mother who controls everything × a lovesick ghost of a man who grows up under his mother's shadow and control. The heroine is the strongest character in a Hogwarts Legacy MC setting, and other people are also drawn to her. This story is mainly about tormenting young Tom, so there will probably be some OOC moments (because I want to read about a ghostly mother and a lovesick ghost of a man...). The heroine has the same name as the heroine in my other HP × DC story, but apart from the setting, the stories are unrelated, so you can read this one on its own. There may be some GGAD, but not much.

2. The heroine is very controlling. Young Tom seems to do whatever he wants, but in reality, she allows it. At first he tries to resist, but later she's PUA'd him into being Mommy's good boy (). Rather than love, it's more the vibe of a ghostly man going, "Mom, you can only look at me. Look at me again. Look at me again. Look at me again."

3. This is a personal fantasy project. It won't be put behind a paywall, and updates will be irregular. If you don't like it, just leave via the top left corner; we'll each go our own way.

Message: A child loves their mother.
