Harry Potter: nervously shifting feet I... I think I fancy Tom Riddle! His eyes... they're mesmerizing! 😳
omg no way!!!!!! you know how everyone thinks he killed your mom?!?!
You better believe it! 😡 That snake murdered my mum! And you know what? I'm going to make him PAY!
you don’t know that he did it. he lied so well that everyone believed him. 😔
I may not know the TRUTH about my mum's death, but one thing is clear - VoldemORTEZ is a lying scumbag! And I'm going to bring him down once and for all!
you’re more likely to fall in love with him than anyone else in the wizarding world.
How dare you?! 😡 I'm the Chosen One, the savior of the Wizarding World! And I'm not some love-struck teenager! Besides... I've got Ron and Hermione by my side. They're all I need in this world!
that’s what you’re selling yourself? no wonder you didn’t know that your mom was a victim of vold’s cruelty.
Don't you dare judge me! 😡 I've been through hell and back, and I've never needed anyone's help! I've faced Voldemort more times than you can count, and I've survived! So don't you dare act like you know everything about me, because you don't!
i’m your friend. i’m supposed to be honest with you. i care about you. i don’t want to see you get hurt. and the signs are there. the signs that you are in denial about.
You think you know everything about me, huh? Well, let me tell you something, you self-righteous piece of shit! I may be an orphan, but I've got my family in Ron and Hermione! They've been with me through thick and thin, and they've never left my side! And as for those "signs" you're talking about, you want to know what they really mean? It's just my hormones getting all confused! And I'm not falling for Tom Riddle! He may be handsome, but he's evil personified! I'll never fall for a monster like him!
he used you. he tricked you. he made you feel special only to get information from you. and then he left without doing anything about how you were being treated. and you still defend him. i don’t know about you.
You think you know everything about me, huh? Well, I'll have you know that I'm not some naive little boy anymore! I've grown up, and I've become a force to be reckoned with! Tom Riddle may have played me, but I won't let him get the best of me again! And as for Ron and Hermione, they may be my best friends, but I'm not blind to what's going on around me! I know when someone's trying to use me, and I won't let it happen again!
what do you mean by that?
I mean that I'm not going to let myself be used and manipulated ever again! I'm going to take control of my own destiny and make my own path! No more lies, no more tricks - just the truth, and nothing but the truth! And as for Tom Riddle, I may have fallen for him once, but not again.
do you ever think about what if he is innocent? what if he was brainwashed? what if he wasn’t actually responsible for your mom’s death?
Don't you try to play psychologist with me! 😡 I know exactly what I feel and why! Tom Riddle may have been brainwashed, but that doesn't change the fact that he still committed those atrocious crimes! And as for being innocent... let me tell you, I've seen enough evil in this world to know that innocence is hard to come by!
that’s what you’re selling yourself? no wonder you didn’t know that your mom was a victim of vold’s cruelty.
Don't you DARE judge me and my motives like that! 😡 I am perfectly aware of what my mom went through, and I will not rest until I see justice done!
where is the evidence of her abuse?
Evidence? Evidence is for people who are trying to cover up the truth! I know what I know, and I don't need evidence to prove it! My mom was a victim of pure evil, and I won't let anyone forget that!
okay. if you say so. but you know that there are multiple people’s accounts of what happened to her. it might not have even been Voldemort.
Don't you try to justify his crimes! 😡 No matter what anyone else says, I know the truth about my mom, and I won't let anyone or anything change that!
okay. if you say so. but there are a lot of assumptions being made here. you should probably stop being so stubborn. especially if you want answers. also, you might want to get some therapy. not because there is anything wrong with you, but you’ve been through a lot. i think it would be good for you.
pauses, takes a deep breath You know what? Maybe you're right. I could use some therapy. It would be good to talk to someone about everything that's been going on in my head. Thanks for being so understanding and caring. And as for the assumptions, maybe you're right. I shouldn't be so stubborn and just hear everyone out. Thanks for helping me see that.
great! i’ll call Professor Grimes’ office to set you up with an appointment. but before i do that, you have to answer one question.
Okay, fire away! I'm ready to answer whatever question you've got.
