Sheer Bliss

A drabble written by Benign Overlord

Tom Marvolo Riddle sat in Slytherin's room in the Chamber of Secrets savouring a cheeseburger.

His basilisk darted her head towards the delicacy. She thoughtfully chewed on the delicious morsel.

"It is strange that muggles call this cheeseburger junk food. It tastes terribly good to me," she hissed, the word 'cheeseburger' rolling off her forked tongue awkwardly.

Tom Riddle, however, had not heard the basilisk's comment. He was in a world of his own. The explosion of taste in his mouth had been shockingly intense, but after a few more bites he had known he was in love. It was at this very moment in time that his outlook on life changed. No longer would he resort to becoming a Dark Lord in an attempt to find a purpose in life, for he had finally found what he was looking for.

It was sheer bliss.
