How Tom Riddle Became Lord Voldemort While Nearly Turning Into A Cookie

Tom Marvolo Riddle.

TOMMARVOLORIDDLE

« Let's see. »

MILD OREO DVO (remaining letters : TMALR)

« Hey, it makes 'DUO' in Roman figures !

...

Lame. »

LAD ROMEO (remaining letters : VOTMRIDL)

« Ew, no ! I'm no Shakespeare wimp ! »

Tom distractedly scratched his chin with the tip of his feather, lost in thoughts.

« Alright, let's start again. »

EVIL TOM (remaining letters : DDLMAROOR)

« It sounds like a bad Muggle movie.

I hate Muggles ! »

TORRID LOVE (remaining letters :MMAOLD)

« No bloody way ! Love is stupid ! Ugh, blasted name. »

MAD TROLL (remaining letters : OMVORIDE)

« Too moronic. »

MERMAID DOLL (remaining letters : TVOOR)

« I HATE MY NAME ! »

Frustrated, Tom threw his feather at the other end of the room but, luckily, no one woke up in the dormitory. He took a deep breath to calm himself and went to pick it up.

« Come on, let's try something else. »

LIL TOMM (remaining letters :DOORVADER)

« Seems like a stage name for a teen heartthrob ! However, 'VADER' isn't that bad...

But it's not quite it yet. »

DROOLER TOM (remaining letters :MAVILD)

« False ! It only happens when I forget my teddy bear.

Twinkie ?

Where are you ? »

LORD RETOOL (remaining letters : IAMMVD)

« This sounds like a bad mechanic name.

Hahaha, too funny ! It makes 'I AM MUD' in Roman figures !

Hilarious !

I hate Mudbloods. »

With an annoyed sigh, Tom crossed out one by one the few words he had scribbled on his scroll.

DREAM TOM (remaining letters :LOVORIDL)

« Right. I can't decide if it's closer to heartthrob or pornstar. »

RED TOAD (remaining letters : MMORLOVIC)

« (note to myself : remember to owl that Bulgarian witch I met in the muggle underground) »

RAVE MOM (remaining letters :TODLORILD)

« Now, that's definitely the title of a porno ! »

DART LORD (remaining letters :IMVOLEMO)

« Yeah, it'd be great if I worked in a wino bar !

...

Wait a sec... »

Tom's face suddenly lit up. He feverishly traced several words on his scroll and admired his work with a satisfied smile during a few seconds.

I AM LORD VOLDEMORT

He randomly put the sheet in his potions book which he left on his bedside table, blew the candle and went to sleep.
