Tom Riddle could safely say that he wanted for nothing. His every need was taken care of and attended to. If he was hungry a feast would be laid out, if he was tired his bed would be ready for him, and if he was bored entertainment would be brought to him. There was nothing in this world that Tom couldn't have. His life was perfect.

Often he spent his days with his father, learning the intricacies of the man's business and what would one day be his. Tom learned everything he could at his father's side. He learned to interact with those beneath him, how to properly deal with internal problems, and how to punish those who had failed. Each day was enlightening and Tom enjoyed the time he was able to spend with his beloved father.

Sometimes Tom would spend time with his mother, though those days seemed few and far in-between. His mother was… difficult. Often Mother liked to disobey Father's rules which in-turn only angered Father more. If he was lucky Tom would find Mother after the healer's had seen to Mother for the day. Those moments were the ones Tom held close to his heart. There was no one to be angry, no one to yell, and Mother would wrap Tom in a hug that left him filled with warmth. Sometimes Mother mumbled things, often incoherent and panicked as Tom stayed in the embrace. Sometimes Mother would simply cry and hold Tom while whispering loving words into his hair. Either way, Tom loved the time he spent with his mother. Harry Potter could be difficult, but he was Tom's mother all the same.

Yes, Tom Riddle III wanted for nothing.
