Prologue

Tom Marvolo Riddle

The sound of a crying baby echoed in the ward. The doctors grieved for the death of the mother who gave birth to the child… It was only her last breathing moments when she named her new born baby…

Tom Marvolo Riddle

Tom. The name was named after the baby's father who left the mother when he found out she was… a witch

The baby was taken to an orphanage and the caretakers took the baby. They fed him well and gave him comfort. The baby was safe…

When the baby turned five he was shunned by the other orphans since he was antisocial and he was strange and abnormal from the others. He would mutter to himself in corners, draw disturbing pictures in the walls of his room, and talk to the animals in the house. He was an outcast in his own home… if Tom ever called it a home.

He hated that place as he hated his father. When he heard from his caretakers that he and his mother were abandoned by his father… Tom felt a rage of hate and anger and only for a five year old when that piece of information came to him he never knew that he nearly decapitated his guardians when he sent furniture flying across the room.

He was hated by the older boys in the playground. They pushed him and they bullied him till he was weak but still Tom stood and gave them a look of enigma which made him receive more pain.

It was hard times for Tom… he was never liked in that retched orphanage… everyone despised his appearance, his jet black hair that would stand on its edges when he was angry, his skinny figure which made the others think he was malnourished and the scars on his arms and legs which seemed as if he cut himself.

But that changed everything when he turned eleven.

During the summer of nineteen thirty-eight, Tom was just playing in the sandbox watching the other kids playing jackstones, riding on donated bikes, jumping around the jungle gym, and talking among themselves. This made Tom so angry seeing them but the anger soon disappeared when he felt the hot, searing sand hit his face.

“Hey Riddle!”

Tom turned his head and saw the orphanage bully, Jason Weatherby

Jason Weatherby was somewhere around twelve. He had very bushy eyebrows, a big flat nose, very thick limbs and arms that looks like pig skin and very wild and nasty brown hair. He was brought to the orphanage some seven years ago. Tom was still four then. His attitude in the orphanage was anything but positive and he was a problem child to the caretakers. He kicked and he punched every child under his age for food, toys and of course sadism. But Tom was Jason's favorite target. He would push the books Tom read to his face, snatch his juice and snacks, put spiders in Tom's dressers, and would trip him often.

Tom's seven years with Jason were sad and painful ones.

Tom looked at Jason again but didn't say anything

“Nothing to say, eh?” Jason said slyly cracking his knuckles “That's okay. Since when I kick your bloody arse you won't say anything at all! So, where will I hit you first?”

Jason grabbed Tom by collar and gave him a punch on the belly. He dropped Tom on the sand as Tom started shaking in pain as blood started spreading across the sand. He looked up at Jason who kicked more sand in Tom's face. Tom opened his eyes ignoring the stingy feel from the sand and looked at Jason's sick and twisted face

“Come on!” he said gesturing him to stand. The kids started watching instead of playing “Want some?”

Tom wiped his eyes and stood up gingerly. He held his stomach and looked at Jason with anger and hate than ever but received nothing when he gave another blow to the side of his head making Tom fall on his sides.

“JASON WEATHERBY!”

Jason looked behind him and saw the head caretaker, assistant caretaker and some workers in the orphanage look in shock and anger. The caretaker pointed a long and bony finger at Jason and said

“You! Come here!” she shouted brandishing a finger to the inside of the orphanage building

Tom opened his eyes weakly and saw Jason leaving the playground with muttered murmurs from the other orphans.

Before Tom could fall to unconsciousness, he gave Jason a look of hate and anger. He wanted him to pay for all of the things he's done to him then he fell to darkness only to find himself awake inside his bedroom with a bandaged forehead. Tom looked out the window, it was nighttime

To everyone, the night was a time to rest but for Tom (at that time), it was the time to settle some things with Jason.

He was going to do something he wanted to do for a long, long time. As he looked at today's newspaper which he asked for that morning from the caretaker and saw the headline: “Seven Jews Murdered In Germany”. This encourages Tom to do it even more. He wanted to do this ever since. He had sick and twisted dreams about it and he wanted it to be reality. It was time…

Tom swung his legs out of the bed and left the room leaving the door ajar. He went down to the kitchen and started searching around. He made a twisted smile when he saw the set of knives on the far end of the cabinets. He took the smallest and sharpest one and started walking silently to the orphanage quarters on the third floor. His mind and heart didn't hesitate. He knew how much laws and sins he would commit as thoughts of hate, anger and fear crept inside his mind.

He took a turn around the corner and saw the orphanage quarters where he left a minute ago to get to the kitchen. Tom reentered the doors and instead of going to the corridor where his room was, he took a right and saw a new corridor which he's seen rarely.

Tom pocketed the knife carefully as he stood in front of the door of his target. Feeling every part of his body with sadism, Tom turned the doorknob and pushed the door open revealing Jason Weatherby sleeping on his bag.

Tom walked forward and stood beside the bed and looked down at the sleeping figure. He made another sick and twisted smile as he pushed Jason out of the bed.

Startled, Jason fell out of the other side of the bed and stood up looking around in the dark room

“Who's there?” he said in panic as he rubbed his eyes quickly, trying to remove the sheets which were wrapped on his limbs

Tom didn't answer, he stood up on the bed, jumped and pinned Jason to the ground with a loud thud. Jason was about to shout but was cut short when Tom used the tail of the bed sheets to gag Jason.

Jason started flailing his arms as Tom put his hands on Jason's neck. Jason's eyes rolled to the back of his head when Tom started strangling him. Tom released as Jason started catching air. Tom then carried Jason to his feet and pushed him forcefully to the wall making Jason groan in pain.

Tom then continued to wrap the neck of Jason with his hands strangling him. Jason tried to push his face but the air he was losing was making his hands weaker. Tom sneered as Jason started pulling his hands off his neck.

After mustering the scene of Jason suffocating, Tom threw him to the other side of the room which had a bookshelf standing. Jason groaned loudly in pain as his back hit the wooden frames of the bookshelf and knelt down before Tom.

Tom went to his side and grabbed him by the hair. He pulled his head backward making Jason look up at the ceiling in horror. Tom then placed a hard fist on Jason's eye and another one to his cheek. His grip on his hair tightened as he pushed Jason's face to the wooden floorboard. He pulled him up to see the bruises and swollen cheeks. Tom gave him a devilish grin as he rammed hi head to the desk on the corner. He started beating his head numerous times till it started bleeding.

Jason started screaming at the top of his voice as Tom pushed him against the wall but only muffled sounds could be heard.

He has caused Jason so much pain already. Tom thought it was time to the final blow. After punching Jason on the stomach, Tom placed a hand on his neck suffocating him again as he pulled the knife from his pocket. Jason's eyes widened in terror as he started shaking his head in panic but Tom nodded his head slowly his eyes filled with hate, malice and sadism

He pointed the knife at his stomach and started moving forward. Jason pulled his stomach in and started making pleading, helpless noises but Tom just sneered and stopped when the tip of the blade touched Jason's stomach. Jason started breathing heavily but stopped abruptly since the breathing could make the knife's job easier.

Tom gave him a look of triumph and malice. He gave Jason a small nod and in one slowly motion, Tom pushed the knife to the belly of Jason making him moan in pain. Tom pushed it slowly savoring every moment as blood started dripping down to the floor.

Jason made a strangle cry and a yelp as Tom pushed the knife's full length to his belly. After a few seconds, Tom pulled the knife from his belly and threw Jason to the bed. Tom went to him and started making a quick pierces on his legs making Jason cry in pain as he held the wounds of legs. Blood started squirting from Jason's legs making the sheets turn crimson. Jason tried to punch Tom but he received another sharp pain as Tom pierced his arm.

Jason cried in pain as he pushed Tom to the floor. Jason stood up and started limping to the door. Before he could reach the doorknob, he felt Tom kicking him in the back making Jason hit his face hard at the door. He pushed himself from the door leaving blood red handprints on the surface.

Tom pulled Jason to the window and opened it. He looked out and saw the beautiful London scenery where the Parliament and the Big Ben stood proudly. Tom turned his head away from the window and met Jason's fist making him fall to the floor. Tom stood up quickly and used the bed sheets which were still slightly wrapped around Jason's limbs to trip him in an instant pull. Tom looked around and saw the bloodstained bed. He felt his heart race.

Tom used the knife to tear the bed's sheets apart to make a small rope. He walked to Jason and brought him to his feet. Jason watched fearfully as Tom jammed his body to the window sill. Tom wrapped the makeshift rope around Jason's neck. A panic look spread across Jason's face as he shook his head making more muffled pleas

Tom shook his head sneering. He tied Jason's arms together with the excess sheets and grabbed the other end of the makeshift rope and tied it to the doorknob. He went back to Jason and instantly pierced the knife to Jason's chest. Tom removed the tail of the bed sheets that gagged Jason as Jason's screamed in pain but fortunately it was hushed since he was strangled.

Then alas, Tom pushed Jason out of the window. He watched as Jason fell down trying his saddest attempt to remove the makeshift rope from his neck. Then the sound of the doorknob's abrupt creek signaled that Jason's life ended.

Tom sat on the window sill and saw the lifeless hanging body of Jason. For him, it was the sight for sore eyes. After seven years of torture, Tom has finally gotten his revenge.

The next day, the orphanage was in an uproar as everyone saw Jason's dead body hanging from the third floor window. His face and body was bloodied up and had bruises. Tom knew he would be in big trouble but something during the investigation by the police made him wonder.

After the investigation, the police never found any fingerprints or any fibers. As if they magically disappeared. Tom wondered how this happened because after a week when they received the morgue's report on Jason's body, they found no fingerprints or any sign of the murderer

This - as Tom would say - is quite curious and strange…

But that all changed when something strange came to him days later

- - -

On the tenth day of August, Tom received a letter from an unknown source. The letter was different from the others. The caretaker just called Tom to tell him he had a letter. Tom ripped it open only to find questions burst into his mind.

He was a wizard… and he was accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Tom soon realized why these strange things happened. Why the evidence he left when he murdered Jason disappeared, why things started flying around when he was angry. It was all magic. He never knew that.

During his first year in Hogwarts, Tom was sorted to Slytherin and was able to communicate to the students rather well. He then became favored among the students. He was a very talented and was loved by all the teachers. He also learned a lot of things like that wizards called the non-magical folk “Muggles”. Speaking of Muggle, Tom hasn't fully told his fellow Slytherins he was a Muggle since Slytherin was known to house “Purebloods”. But when the news broke out he was a muggle, his fellow students respected him like always.

During the next few years in Hogwarts, he started to develop a gift in the Dark Arts. He would read them in the library and would sometimes test them on animals behind the Care of Magical Creatures teacher.

When he became a prefect, he had more authority and he heard of the Chamber of Secrets. He searched for it and found only to find a shocking secret. He was a descendent of Salazar Slytherin himself. He also spoke the ancient dark art of Parseltongue which earned him respect towards his peers.

With the chamber, Tom was able to set a legendary creature on the students he despised and the ones who Salazar Slytherin loathed, the ones with no pureblood. It was Salazar Slytherin's mission to eliminate the taint in Hogwarts which is the existence of muggle-borns and half-bloods in the school.

Despite Tom's half-blood status, he knew that Salazar Slytherin would respect him in every way. So to respect his forefather, Tom was able to summon the basilisk.

But during the basilisk's reign of terror, Tom was being watched by his Transfiguration teacher, Albus Dumbledore. Dumbledore was suspicious of Tom's actions. He would always ask Tom if he had anything to say to him but Tom would just say “No”

When his sixth year came, Tom was already adept to the Dark Arts which made his friends become more than friends, like brothers. Tom was interested in immortality, to live forever. Tom was very interested in this which lead to the change of his name and that name would be feared by all since he hated his name “Tom Marvolo Riddle”. A name which belonged to his father and grandfather, two people he loathed.

After months of learning the Dark Arts, he left his dearest friends promising a return. He had unfinished business to do.

He arrived at Little Hangleton on mid-summer. He looked at the edifice of the Riddle House, as knowingly called by Little Hangleton locals. He looked at the front door and saw the gardener, Frank Bryce. He ignored him and like a cat he entered silently into the house.

“Did you hear the door open?” Tom Sr.'s father asked after they said grace in the dining room

Tom Sr. walked to the door and looked outside. Darkness there, and nevermore.

“I see nothing, father” he replied in a smug voice

Tom looked at the door which stood ajar. He gave a look of hatred. He knew this was his chance to take revenge on the people who loathed him. He gripped his phoenix feather wand tightly as he opened the door slowly

The Riddle's looked up and all three gave Tom an odd look

“Who are you?” Mrs. Riddle asked rather snobbishly

Tom walked towards them without a word

Mr. Riddle stood up and pointed a finger at Tom

“Answer the question, young man or there will be trouble”

Then Tom Sr. finally said

“I'll send him out, father… how could a kid be that strong?” he said boastfully

This made Tom raise his wand which startled the Riddles. Mrs. Riddle stood up and said

“Really! What is this? A publicity stunt?” she gave a look to Tom Sr.

Tom Sr. looked at Tom with a pompous look

“Look, if you have nothing to say then I think I should -”

Then in an instant, Tom brandished his wand at Tom Sr. and said

“Crucio!”

Tom Sr. fell to the ground as he writhed in pain. He started twitching as Mr. and Mrs. Riddle looked in terror

“Argh!” Tom Sr. shouted

Tom looked at his grandparents and gave them a taste of what Tom Sr. had and the next thing he knew, the Riddles where flailing at the carpet-tiled floor in pain

“AH!” Tom Sr. shouted as he lunged for Tom

“Immobulus!” Tom chanted as he Tom Sr. stopped in mid-run

He turned to Mr. and Mrs. Riddle and said

“Only death can ease my mind into satisfaction” he muttered angrily as he aimed his wand at both

“Please!” Mrs. Riddle pleaded “Don't hurt us! Give us a chance - we will do anything!”

Tom gave a disgusted look

“Did your son give my mother a chance?” he said coldly “Did he?”

Then a face of realization came to Mr. Riddle's face

“Tom?” he said in a shocked voice

Without further ado, Tom said loudly

“AVADA KEDAVRA!”

A jet of green light illuminated the room and Mr. and Mrs. Riddle fell to the ground in a lifeless state.

Tom turned to his father and did the counter curse for the Freezing Charm. Tom Sr. regained strength and looked at his son in terror

“Tom?” he gave a small chuckle “You've er - grown”

Tom aimed his wand at his chin

“Look, I know what I did was erm - mean but -” he gave a look of false confidence “I know we can sort this out… maybe a little father and son talk?” he smiled nervously

Then a voice in Tom Sr.'s mind said

You are no father of mine… my father is myself

Then just like what he did to his grandparents, Tom saw as his estrange father fell to his death.

Tom fled Little Hangleton and was able to leave undetected just like what he did to Jason Weatherby. He stayed at the orphanage till he returned for his final year at Hogwarts

After his time in Hogwarts, Tom and his dearest of friends delved and dabbled in the dark arts. During the road down to darkness, Tom went off alone to learn the supreme meaning of evil. He disappeared and did magical transformations to himself making his image fearing. He started traveling around Europe and Middle Asia to seek any information about immortality, the object of his fantasies. That was the last time Tom was seen.

Then in nineteen seventy, Tom Marvolo Riddle returns with a new look and the power of the dark arts. Slowly, he gathers his dearest of friends and starts making them followers. He called them “Death Eaters”. Tom then dispatched them to find any information about anything that can make him immortal

Tom and his Death Eaters killed and tortured wizards for sadistic satisfaction. Even on Muggles. His reign of terror reached the peak which forced Dumbledore, Tom's former Transfiguration teacher and current headmaster of Hogwarts, to establish the Order of The Phoenix. An organization to counter the vile plans of Tom Riddle but that didn't stop them since the Death Eaters were more in numbers than the Order.

They continued the killing of many wizards. Especially wizards and witches from the Order. By the end of ninety seventy eight, they killed well-known wizards.

But a fluke entered in the Order, he was in the ranks of the Order and he offered his services to Tom. His name was Peter Pettigrew codenamed “Wormtail”. Wormtail became a spy for Tom and the Death Eaters, feeding information to Tom about the Order's next move giving him the edge in the war.

The Order fought and fought but nothing positive came to them. They were killed, mind-controlled, turned into mad men, etcetera but there were two people that survived so far in Tom's reign of terror, the Potters.

They have escaped from him in many attempts, so far three times thanks to Dumbledore.

Feeling deceived, Tom ignores them and starts concentrating on crippling the Ministry of Magic. Supreme power was nearing him at last but only one man stood on the way, Albus Dumbledore.

During the end of ninety seventy nine, Tom and Dumbledore had a violent duel which caused Tom to flee since Dumbledore was to strong for Tom. Tom feared Dumbledore ever since.

Planning on dominating the Wizarding world wasn't easy with Dumbledore and the Ministry's hit wizards or Aurors watching closely. Then during in one of Tom's planning, he was informed of a prophecy… a prophecy that foretold his downfall by someone. Fortunately for Tom, the one to defeat him is still a baby and the baby belonged to the Potters. A family he's been after a year ago.

Peter Pettigrew informs Tom about the Potter's whereabouts which is in Godric's Hollow just in the outskirts of Bristol.

Tom travels from London to Godric's Hollow to eliminate the Potters. But something stumped his attack that night… it happened when he faced the baby who would vanquish him… when he uttered the Killing Curse… Tom somehow disappeared into darkness… Tom Riddle's reign of terror ended

- - -

Tom surfaced again from the darkness to find himself in many forms fighting this boy named Harry Potter. After endless attempts to kill him, Tom finally regains his original body and his faithful Death Eaters returned to him. Ones again, his reign of terror will continue on and it caused the death of Sirius Black. Tom had the upperhand that time since the Ministry and the Order, former allies during the first war, didn't believe in each others opinions about the return of Tom Riddle. Tom used this to his advantage and tried to seek out the reason why he made a blunder when he attacked the Potters back at Halloween nineteen-eighty one but it required something.

But during the attempt, he was discovered and now, just as last time, Tom and his Death Eaters are out in the open now… thus starting the Second War of the Wizarding world.

First he was known to be the orphan boy named Tom then he became the most talented wizard in Hogwarts named Tom Marvolo Riddle… now he is known as the most feared and darkest wizard of them all… he had a name that everyone feared… Tom was his real name but Tom changed it with the art of anagrams… in the muggle world, he is known as Tom Marvolo Riddle but in the Wizarding world… he is known as…

LORD VOLDEMORT
