The first and only love of Tom Marvolo Riddle.

Intro:

What if Voldemort had been capable to love, or even just lust, after a woman?

1st chapter:The first dayTPOV

I was on platform 9¾ waiting for the school train, the Hogwarts express. With me I had my trunk, full of clothes and books. I was going to a new school, I was finally leaving the orphanage, it might only be until summer, but I was still overjoyed to go. This feeling of happiness was not all from with where I was leaving, but also largely to do with where I was going. Hogwarts was not like other schools; it was a school of magic.

I was quite surprised when, what's his name? Dumbledore, showed up and told me I was a wizard, that I had a place at this school and what I had been doing to the other children, for all these years, was magic.

I had gotten to the station at quarter to eleven it was ten to now and the train was just pulling in.

I court my reflection in the window; I was tall with ink black hair and a pale complexion. The cares at the orphanage told me that I probably looked a lot like my father because I look very little like my mother.

I was getting on when my trunk got court on the step, as I tried to lift it a girl approached and lifted the bottom for me.

"Thanks." I mumbled

"No problem" she told me happily, as she lifted her trunk on to the train "I'm Athena, Athena Dragomor."

"Tom, Tom Riddle" I answered, staring at the ground.

"Well it is very nice to meet you Tom." she paused then asked "Are you traveling with anyone?

"No" I replied, still looking down

"Well since we seem to both be traveling alone why don't we find a compartment together?

"Alright" I said, looking up.

Seeing her for the first time I was amazed. She had long red-brown hair, deep blue, almost purple, eyes and a face that looked like it had been carved by angels. She was the most beautiful person I had ever seen.

As I followed her along the passageway and into a compartment I could not help staring.

"So are you a pure blood or a muggleborn?" was the first thing Athena said after we had stowed our bags and sat down.

"Muggleborn I think. I didn't know my parents." I replied

"Oh, well I'm half witch and half something else, my mum never did tell me what." She pondered that for a moment then said, "So do you know what house you want to be in, or don't you know them yet?"

"I wouldn't mind being in Slytherin, because can speak to snakes, so I think I would fit in there."

"You're a parsil-tongue! That's amazing!" Athena exclaimed

"What's a parsil-tongue?" I replied confused

"It means you can talk to snakes," she explained

"Oh then yes i am"

We carried on talking like this until it got dark and we decided to change into our robes. I found out that she was raised by he mother and, like me; she had never known her father. I found out that she could communicate animals; only, unlike me she wasn't restricted to snakes.
