Tom Marvolo Riddle was mysterious, dark, the embodiment of a Slytherin. He aced all his classes, and the teachers all loved him. He'd come from humble beginnings, and seemed friendly enough. Yet, despite all of this, Albus couldn't help but feel like there was something not quite right about the boy.

He was sly, knew how to get what he wanted, and, as is a reason he got put into Slytherin, he was very ambitious. He had great ambitions and the determination to achieve his largest goals. This was worrying to Albus, because with the great power this boy held, there were so many things that could go wrong. But then again, he should just listen to the headmaster, he was thinking too far into things. He should let it go, brush it to the side. And he did, for the time being.

Little did he know that this would result in disastrous consequences.
