Tom Riddle

Tom Riddle was sitting alone by the window in the hallway of Hogwarts. The moonlight fell on his face, outlining his cold features. His thoughts were immersed in the past. A mother, weak and humiliated, who died for the love of a Muggle. Tom despised her for that, for leaving him in the orphanage where he first knew loneliness and hatred. Fears raged inside him, especially the fear of death. He couldn't afford to be weak. The reflection in the glass is a young, beautiful face, but the eyes are cold, lifeless. Emotions and attachments were a weakness for him. He knew that he would soon leave Hogwarts and find a path to immortality, but he felt a pang of loneliness. However, Tom shrugged off this feeling. Loneliness is a privilege of the strong. And he, Tom Riddle, was the strongest.
