He never cared for his birthday or anything else for that matter. What was to celebrate about the day his mother died or left Tom alone in the cruel world?
But everything changed on his eleventh birthday though because it seems that fate had other plans for him. A stupid man with twinkling eyes and half-moon glasses had given him a letter as his birthday gift. And that was all the confirmation the handsome freak of Wool's orphanage needed, that he wasn't the devil everyone assumed him to be.
The letter with fancy sealing was proof that he wasn't alone and that there were others like him. The letter was proof, that Tom Marvolo Riddle was special, always had been. And he was ready to show it to the world.
