tom marvolo riddle ⇾ lord voldemort
when’s a boy no longer a boy? when he’s a monster.
When I first met young Mr Riddle, he was a quiet albeit brilliant boy, committed to becoming a first rate wizard. Not unlike others I’ve known. Not unlike yourself. If the monster existed it was buried deep within.
“The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches… Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies… And the Dark Lord will mark him as equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not… And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives… The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…“
For the lovely @flittwick who I’m forever greatful for

After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things. Terrible! Yes. But great.
Tom Marvolo Riddle (1926-1998)
“I knew I was different,” he whispered to his own quivering fingers. “I knew I was special. Always, I knew there was something”
Albus Dumbledore: “Rumours of your doings have reached your old school, Tom. I should be sorry to believe half of them.” Tom Riddle: “Greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spite spawns lies. You must know this, Dumbledore.”
