Authors note: I came up with this on one of those boring days that you are just sittin' around thinking about how boring my life is.
Summary: Voldermort ponders on his life and downfall in He killed the Potters (except Harry of course). One- shot. Voldermort and Tom Riddle Jnr. No slash. Some Merope and Tom Riddle Snr.
Voldy's POV
Pondering in Albania
Why? WHY had I met my downfall at the hands of a young harmless pathetic excuse of a child? If that old fool Dumbledore was here I wonder what he'd been thinking. Bah Humbug he'd probably been sprouting a load of shit about oh I shudder to say it...Love! Disgusting! Love was for fools, for hopeless mud bloods, blood traitors and half bloods.
Like you, a voice in my head whispered, mother a pureblood squib, unable to protect herself after falling in love with the local muggles always watching them out of the window. And as soon as her father and brother were locked up in Azkaban she whipped up a love potion and he'd fallen in love with her as quick as a cheetah or so it seemed.
A foolish Merope lifted the potion and an outraged Tom Riddle Snr walked out on a pregnant Merope leaving her with only Salazar Slytherin's necklace. After Riddle walked out on her Merope lost all will to live. She died after giving birth to Tom Marvolo Riddle Jnr selling off the necklace to Borgin & Burkes for a much cheaper price than it should've been. Riddle Jnr grew up in an orphanage. That's why Tom Riddle hated muggles because of his bitter history. Even though these muggles and muggleborns knew nothing of Riddle. Riddle still despised them for he grew up with a lot of anger and it was time for it to be unleashed.
Voldermort had no hope. He'd never feel remorse. So I guess we will have to wait until Harry Potter kicks his sneaky arse!
