In his second year at Hogwarts, Tom Riddle returns changed.

No longer the isolated orphan, he spends the summer under the roof of the powerful Thornwick family—where magic is refined, ambition is encouraged, and fire is treated as both a tool and a test. By the time he steps back onto the Hogwarts Express, Tom is sharper, calmer, and far more dangerous than before.

But Hogwarts itself has plans.

At the opening feast, Dumbledore announces the return of an ancient tradition reserved only for second-years: the Housefire Games—a secret trial created by the Founders to break house rivalries and forge unity through fire. Students are torn from the safety of the castle, divided into mixed-house teams, and sent into an ever-shifting enchanted wilderness where magic alone is not enough to survive.

Forced into an uneasy alliance with rivals and allies alike—including James Potter, Lily Evans, Lucius Malfoy, and the Thornwick twins—Tom must navigate living maps, deadly guardians, and trials designed to expose fear, loyalty, and ambition. Every decision burns away illusions. Every mistake carries consequences.

As monsters rise, friendships fracture, and leadership is tested under pressure, Tom begins to understand the true purpose of the Games: not to crown heroes, but to reveal who will endure when everything familiar is stripped away.

Some fire forges unity.
Some fire exposes monsters.

And in the heart of the Housefire Games, Tom Riddle must decide what kind of flame he will become.
