There’s something unnerving about Tom Riddle.

Hermione’s never quite been able to articulate just what it is about him that unsettles her so: after all, Riddle’s popular and charming and adored by Hogwarts staff and students alike. Still, she’d swear that there’s something lurking beneath that warmly polite veneer of his, something that lies in wait like a serpent in the dark.

But it’s not until her sixth year at Hogwarts, when she rashly confronts him over an unprecedented act of violence, that the full force of Riddle’s chilling regard is abruptly and wholly turned on her.

Yes, I am friends with talloohlips. 

I cannot say what happened to her since she didn’t volunteer that information, and I didn’t ask. She only mentioned that she is taking some time away. She said she’d be off from December and into the foreseeable future.

This is not the first time she’s taken some time away from this story. She tends to become overwhelmed with her real-life obligations, and it is best to give her space.

It’s funny that you mention that, because I’m currently chatting with a friend about this. 

oh dear, i just checked. you’re right! and my heart just sank a little bit.

i don’t know what happened, no! i’ve been off the grid since november and hence out of touch with fandom in general, and even though tulip and i exchanged messages every now and then, we haven’t talked for quite some time, so i have no idea what prompted her to do it.

she deactivated back in february 2018 and then remade in august, so… there’s hope, i think? but i don’t know more than you do :(

i really hope she does return eventually! i loved nlts more than any other fic, that’s true, but tulip herself is just such a sweet & smart & talented person. i’m gonna miss her presence in this fandom so much, goodness. plus, she helped me out when i was going through some personal stuff, and i’m still incredibly grateful.
