Description:
Darkness was edging its way into the forests of Finland. Deep in the heart of these woodlands, the native magicians practised ancient magic long forgotten by the outside. In 1943, Inkeri Koskinen was uprooted from her habit of obscurity, when she was sent to Scotland to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There, she encountered manipulation, corruption, and the charming Tom Riddle, all while uncovering the lies and deceit which surrounded her new world. 16+ please read TWs

" your sins twist into a melody and your silver lies form divine words. the paragon of virtue would plummet from heaven and lie at your feet, for a mere murmur of your sacrilegious hymns. "

•• ━━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━━ ••

This story will follow Inkeri Koskinen (in-kih-ree) from her joining of Hogwarts in sixth year to some time after her leaving it. It is in third person perspective. It must be pointed out that Inkeri's character is portrayed as morally grey, though the deterioration of her ethics is gradual. In this story, the line dividing right and wrong has been heavily blurred. There will be no "good" and "bad" side. TRIGGER WARNINGS; there will be themes of manipulation, graphic depictions of violence, torture, death, and *eventually* sexual content. TRIGGER WARNINGS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED AT THE TOP OF CHAPTERS to preserve the suspense and element of surprise, so please keep these in mind throughout the read. Finnish and Scandinavian folklore will be heavily explored. Many of the gods which the lunar folk worship are also a part of older Finnish mythology, as are the monsters which reside in their forests. There are also references to cults and cultist beliefs and traditions, including sacrifice, rituals, and dark magic.  The romance is VERY SLOW BURN, as Tom Riddle's character is not one to fall in love immediately. The actions and relationships presented are NOT necessarily condoned, as in the real world, they can have significant impacts on mental wellbeing. This story has its own unique plot relative to the main character, which will unfold gradually through the years. Many events and personalities have been subtly or drastically altered, as this is an ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE story, which means that I am at liberty to change what I see fit. This means that it does not solely consist of romance, despite the centred interest being Tom Riddle. Both positive and negative opinions and comments on characters are welcomed, particularly surrounding Inkeri, as there are numerous instances in which she does make the wrong choices (she has been intentionally written to represent genuine human flaws of common occurrence). I do not own the Harry Potter franchise or world. Only the original characters I created are my own, the rest belong to J.K Rowling. PARTS OF THE TIMELINE MAY HAVE BEEN ADAPTED TO FIT THE STORY. STATUS: slow updates Thanks for reading ;) - Selen
