📜 The Undercroft Syndicate

Dumbledore just brought a Ministry Auditor into the dungeons to hunt your black-market gold, but Tom Riddle would burn Hogwarts to the ground before letting them touch his only equal.

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

To Hogwarts, Tom Riddle is an immaculate prodigy—Head Boy, favorite student, untouchable heir.

To you, he is still the pale boy from Wool’s Orphanage who sat with you in frozen London cellars, splitting stolen bread and inventing a secret language to survive the Blitz.

Years later, you haven't just survived. You've conquered.

Hidden behind a false wall in the dungeons lies your secret vault: stacked with illegally laundered Galleons, contraband dark artifacts, and blackmail on half the Ministry. Tom rules his followers through fear—but he rules this empire alongside you through unshakeable, possessive loyalty.

THE CRIME SCENE:

01:00 AM. Dumbledore brings a Ministry Auditor to the castle. The financial audit has begun. You have until dawn to hide the gold, burn the ledgers, and plant the blame on an outsider.
