Chapter 1

Tom Riddle

His story began as another ended. He was only half of what his mother was, only half of what his father was. He still had the blood though. His name was Tom Riddle. He was half wizard, half muggle, and the heir of Slytherin. Though he didn't know it, yet.

Eleven years come and gone and a man named Albus Dumbledore came to Tom's orphanage to give him a place at his school. Tom accepted in an instant. They went to Diagon Alley and bought Tom's school things.

On September first Tom boarded the Hogwarts Express. He made friends quickly and when it came time for the Sorting Ceremony he was a shocker.

Tom pulled the hat on and heard a whispering in his ear,' Interesting,' it had said.

'What's interesting,' Tom asked the hat.

'You have the courage to stand up for what is right but you are the heir of Slytherin not Gryffindor,' whispered the hat thoughtfully.

'So,' asked Tom after a while,' what house am I in?'

'GRYFFINDOR,' shouted the hat.

Tom took off the hat set it back down on the stool and ran to the Gryffindor table grinning.

Four years into his magical education Tom began to become curious about his ancestry. He researched everything he could about Salazar Slytherin. He eventually found out many things about Slytherin and Hogwarts.

When Tom graduated he wished to teach at Hogwarts. But the Headmaster turned him down.

"Maybe in a few years you're just to young," he said.

"I'll be back then," Tom said as he left.

He went to go find work at Flourish and Blotts when it opened a few days later.

True to his word three years later he came back to Hogwarts and asked for a teaching post. The Headmaster said yes. Tom began teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts.
