A/N: dattebayo13 asked me to post more today. Well, OK.

Tom Riddle squinted at his own hand writing. He had been such a messy writer in his Hogwarts days. At the time he had been in quite a hurry to scurry away from the secret Library of Slytherin inside the Chamber of Secrets, fearing Albus Dumbledore might discover him. In retrospect, knowing if he had written a two or a three for powdered ounces of snake tongue in this empowerment potion might have been an important detail. Tom shrugged and decided to make sure the potion was potent enough and added three ounces to the brew. What could go wrong?
