Ok, forgive me. I know that there's 33 years between some of the main characters in the story (i hope that didn't give away anything), but for story's sake, please disregard discrepancies.. no in fact, i'm revising it. Lillith is not Lilly Potter, but Lilly is her Grandniece. In other words, Lillith is Lilly's grandmother's younger sister. This way the timeline works =P Oh yeah, and Bilius is Arthur Weasley's older brother.. Lucius Malfoy is not Harry's rival, but his grandfather. OK, so the 33 year problem is solved.
Confused? I hope this clears it up. Ok, "Jack", the narrator imagines himself as someone else.. no, actually, Jack and Tom share experiences. Unlike Fightclub, Jack is not the completely "good" character, and Tom is not the completely "bad" character. If you're confused, I mean.. The narrator is obviously the mild side of Tom. He's also the loser, the one with low self-esteem. He can't imagine hurting others. Dueling with Tom and the other boys in the Dueling club doesn't count, because they're not doing it out of malice. They're fighting their demons. Tom is the smart one. He's confidant, pushy, the head boy. He does crazy things. In reality, the real Tom is outwardly perfect. He achieves that by possessing Tom's abilities, and "Jack's" mildness. Every time they come together, they kinda cancel each other out.. except that there is always a slight lean on either one or the other. Usually, Tom's personality wins out, but "Jack" is still present (but unaware of that fact) and influences Tom by keeping his chaotic tendencies in check. In the end, Tom wins out(with the help of that Salazar Slytherin blood) against Jack and becomes Voldemort. There is now nothing to keep him in check. Why "submit"? Obviously Slytherin wants Jack's will to submit to the darker side of himself. In case you *really* don't get it. Lillith is NOT Lilly Evans. Lillith is Lilly's grandmother's younger sister. She got sick of leading a happy "perfect" cushy life and in her last year decided to be different. But in the end, she realized that that wasn't what she wanted or thought it would be, so she goes back to the way she was and falls in love with James Potter. Well, 10 to 1 you're still confused.
By the way... no, those aren't homoerotic tendencies that Jack is showing. Tom is himself. It's natural that he'd be "drawn" to himself and become fascinated.
"Jack" says that he's never seen Lillith before. One explanation is that he simply doesn't remember her. Strange, that he could forget about a head girl, right? But, he really hasn't been sleeping well for the past year. He doesn't even know who he is and what he does. Is it too far to assume that he wont remember her? Wouldn't she know who Jack is then? Most likely she does. But, she could also assume that he's in the same predicament: tired of being.. perfect.
Discrepancies. "Jack" sees himself as failing at everything and also sees Tom doing things that he would never do. When he sees Tom doing things, he imagines that he's looking on himself as Jack. Erk.. he's one big confused ball. Let's leave it at that.
Tom doesn't make a comeback as Lord Voldemort until years and years later, so for now, he is still Tom Marvolo Riddle.
If you think this is a horrible story, OOC and such, here are some excuses to make things fit.
