"Small girl,        the sun calls
    Don't keep             it waiting"

THERE'S A SPEC OF LIGHT THAT SHINES THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.

Small as it may be, it illuminates through the window of Alina Scamander, the bastard. Between the shouts of men and the cries of her mother, the spec is the only object of gaiety in the girl's life.

The bastard holds the light, twists it, tortures it, buries it inside herself. Each motion indicating that she isn't full of caliginosity, that she is alive. Her grave isn't filled with worms or maggots but brimming with malice from those she calls "kin".

The spec never abandoned her, it stays waiting. On most nightfalls she feels the light killing itself inside her heart. Killing itself when the shouts enormously grow, destroying its body when her cheeks turn crimson from either cruelty or melancholia, burning itself from just the sensation of feeling.

Such a disgusting thing, feeling.

Feelings destroyed her, it destroyed her spec, her light. More importantly it destroyed her sanity. However, her sanity was a mechanism that was already crippling under the pressure of the dam.

She learned to bury the spec in the cold ground where it belonged. She would soon join it.

There is no longer a spec of light that echos throughout the night.

But the sound of small weeps that do.

It would take years for that spec to return to Alina Scamander.

II. This is Eliza!!! Yall I'm so excited to write about my girls Alina and Cassidy, they mean so much to me.

II. With that being said I just wanted to state that I don't own Harry Potter or its universe nor its contents. I just own my ocs and slight world-building, Cassidy Chang is my interpretation of Cho Chang however I do not own her character. All rights go to JK Rowling (ew) and Warner Brothers.
I do not own the films, franchise, or books.

II. This isn't a love story but a story about obsession and toxicity as well as a love for power. I am not romanticizing Tom Riddle or toxic relationships I am simply writing how his character is and would be. I do not condone any of the following triggers and warnings shown throughout this book (triggers will be put in Part 1)

II. Please don't expect an insta love or Tom riddle to be a good man, he is evil yall. If you want a good man love interest watch set it up (it's so underrated)

II. Also I don't tolerate any bullying of any kind. Constructive criticism is welcome just don't be an asshole about it. I don't tolerate homophobia, transphobia, or racism of any kind so you will be block if you spread that in my comment section.

II. I changed Cho chang's name to Cassidy cause 1. Ur telling me Jk Rowling couldn't have come up with something better than naming her Asian character two different Asian last names??? 2. Cause f*ck JK Rowling
