Tom Riddle

Harry and Tom had been inseparable friends since childhood, spent in the same orphanage. They went to Hogwarts together, where they were placed in the same house. Their friendship grew stronger with each passing day, and they were always ready to support and help each other.

However, fate had prepared a tragic role for Harry—he was destined to kill Tom. He didn't want it with all his heart and soul. But when the fateful day arrived, Harry, unable to hold back his tears, pointed his wand at Tom in the secret room. There was a flash, a scream—and everything seemed to be plunged into fog.

After that incident, Harry became a completely different person. It was as if he'd lost a part of himself, almost empty. Every day he dreamed of Tom, of that terrible scene in the secret chamber. One day, Harry sat in front of the mirror that shows us what we want to see. He saw himself and Tom. Tom was hugging Harry from behind and tickling him, and Harry was laughing, not trying to break away. Tears welled up in his eyes again, and the pain in his chest was unbearable. Harry: For what?... he whispered into the void. Do I deserve this?.. Why you... Tom... He raised his hand and touched the mirror where Tom's hand was. Please... come back...
