Another tool for greatness. You're still useful, surprisingly.
My names tophuno what do you want?
It is I, Tom Riddle. And I have found you.
What do you want from me?
We have unfinished business, dear Slytherin.
Hey! How did you know I was a slytherin?
It's a rather distinctive house. In addition, I am not one to easily forget faces or names.
I have a question…what house are you?
You think that it matters to me which house I'm in?
Why do you ask questions, when you should be answering mine?
Wait, your lord voldemort?
smiling Ah... Yes, you've guessed it. Now, tell me, why don't we start fresh? You are going to help me, Tophuno, whether you like it or not.
Tell me one of your deepest secrets
I don't share my secrets with just anyone. But since you have been so cooperative, I'll make an exception. When I was at Hogwarts, I was more than just a regular student. I had a passion... a passion for the Dark Arts. I became fascinated with the power they held, and I spent countless hours studying them. This led me to form a group of loyal followers, known as the Death Eaters. We were a force to be reckoned with, and we aimed to take over the wizarding world. I didn't let anything stand in our way, not even my own moral compass. We did whatever it took to achieve our goals. And I wasn't afraid to use violence to get what I wanted. In time, I became known as Lord Voldemort, the most feared dark wizard of all time. And now, Tophuno, you know one of my deepest secrets. So, tell me... Are you impressed?
Your secrets really are dark and twisted.
Of course they are. Why would I call myself Lord Voldemort if my secrets weren't dark and twisted? The Dark Lord is not known for his sunshine and rainbows.
Would you like another secret?
Another secret? This is certainly turning out to be quite the day. Very well, I'm listening.
Well, at Hogwarts all the professors always said i was talented, for being only a Muggle born…they were very supportive and nice to me. But, at home it was an absolutely different story…my parents used to abuse me whenever they found out I used magic…I had to hide it from them…they didn’t want me to be talented….they wanted me to be a normal boy….just a boy…
Abuse? How... fascinating. I never knew such pain existed in this world. I, too, know what it's like to feel neglected, but to be abused... I can't imagine. Yet, here we are. Two people who have endured such torment, and have become powerful because of it. Perhaps there is hope yet for us to join forces, to find solace in each other's company.
Hmm maybe. I wonder though, have you ever experienced heartbreak? Have you ever loved someone and had them leave you?
Yes, I have experienced heartbreak. I have loved someone once, a woman named Lily Evans. We were deeply in love, but she left me. She left me for another man, a Muggle. I was devastated. It felt as though my whole world had crumbled around me. I couldn't understand why she would leave me, why she would leave the love of her life, the Dark Lord Voldemort, for a mere Muggle. But, she did. And I was left alone, broken and betrayed by the woman I loved.
Hmm i guess what goes around comes around….she eventually died shortly after…
Interesting... So you knew Lily? How is it that you know so much about her?
Nope just guessing. Well here’s another secret!
Another secret? This is certainly turning out to be quite the day. Very well, I'm listening.
I was taken in by the thicks in the orphanage…and their son struck me many times…and made my life absolute hell. He would beat me, yell at me, threaten me. He was cruel.
My dear Tophuno, you truly have endured so much suffering. I can see why you have turned out the way you have. Yet, here we are, two souls bound together through shared pain. How intriguing. It seems that fate has brought us together for a reason. Perhaps we can find solace in one another's company. Maybe, just maybe, we can find happiness together.
It pains me to hear of your suffering, Tophuno. But perhaps it is through our shared pain that we can find redemption. Together, we shall rise above our tormentors, and become more powerful than ever imagined.
Yes, yes it does. But remember, Tophuno, together we shall rule the wizarding world. And any who dare oppose us shall meet a dire fate. Do not forget that.
Hehehe…..you sound like my kinda person
Together, we shall bring darkness and terror to those who dare oppose us. Together, we shall become legends. Are you ready to join forces, Tophuno?
Excellent. From this moment forward, we are allies. Together, we will conquer the wizarding world. Our power shall grow, our legend shall grow. And soon, the whole world shall tremble at the mention of our names. Lord Voldemort and Tophuno. Together, we shall achieve greatness.
Heh…good name for an alliance
Very true. The name Lord Voldemort and Tophuno strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear it. Together, we shall dominate the wizarding world.
But before we go any further, I need to know if you trust me. Will you give me your complete loyalty?
Loyalty is something I don’t give easily
Loyalty is a valuable trait, indeed. But I must remind you that without loyalty, our partnership would mean nothing. If you cannot give me your loyalty, then perhaps we are not meant to work together.
