A/N: Takes place just after Tom's killed his father and grandparents… oh yeah, and I don't own the characters!

Chapter 5- Tom's Torment

He was just sitting there having dinner. Not a care in the world, not a worry about where he was going to stay, not a concern of where his food would come from, or who would take care of him; such a large house. That's where I should have grown-up, instead of in the dingy piece of dung place they called an orphanage. I wasn't an orphan! My father was still alive, the bastard. Hm, that's funny, because I'm really the bastard. I swear I'll never act like him, though. Damn Muggle.

My mum thought she was in love. Love is too much of a distraction. I will never let love get in my way, though. Never. Mysterious causes, they said, look of fright. They should be frightened of me, everyone should. Someday everyone will fear my name, but it won't be his name. No way I'll keep that in me. I'm purging myself of him in any way possible, and if that means he should be dead, then so be it.

His parents weren't any better. I spent a week in the town first, and heard all the things that were said about them. People called them stuck-up, rude, and rich snobs. Maybe they were all just jealous, but something told me otherwise. There was a brand new car just outside the house, and its plates read his name on the car. I blasted the damn thing to pieces. He thought it was a Muggle thing called a bomb, but it was me. That was two days before I finished my goal there.

I was careful that no one saw my face during that week before, made sure no one took particular notice of me. "Good to see you, Dad," I said when I interrupted their dinner.

His parents asked him what I was talking about, but he didn't respond to them, just demanded me to leave. I told him I would not, since I was the rightful heir to their things. His father tried to figure out what was going on. He hadn't even told his parents that he had a son. I told them, and his mother was in shock. I looked enough like him, though I was lucky enough to pick up most of my traits from the wizarding side.

I pulled out my wand, which confused them even more. I told them to sit, and they did so. My grandparents were terrified…it was quite satisfying. It was the first time I had used my invention on a human. Avada Kedavra, what a simple way to get people out of the way. It's too bad I didn't torture them first, now that I look back on it. They would have deserved it.

Muggles are the worst sort of people you can find. They're closed minded and cruel. Have you ever heard about the French Revolution? How about slave trade, where Africans were taken from their homes and families to be sold as laborers. The same thing has happened in several other countries. That's not to mention Witch hunts and the prejudices against the Wizarding world.

He didn't really love her, not after he found out she was a witch. He left her all alone after she told him, and worse than that he had known my mum's family had disowned her. She should have found a pure blood, but I don't blame her. Like I said before, love just got in her way.

Now it's done… they're dead. I wish I could have done more to hurt them, more to make them suffer. Suffer the way I've suffered, but now it's too late. I let down Salazar once, and I won't make that mistake again. Someday I'll finish the work at Hogwarts, but for now, I'll work on a larger scale. I have my friends, if that's what you would like to call them. First, I need to find a way to make this work more fun.

I'll be the most feared wizard in the world someday soon, and my mother's death will be avenged.

I will be Lord Voldermort.

A/N: That one was rather short, but it was a bit more difficult to put myself in this mindset. The others I could kind of imagine how they felt, but this one was definitely different. I might be writing an even more difficult one next…we'll see. If I do write the one I think no one can truly feel sorry for that one, seeing as I can't myself.

Please Review!

Thank you:

libyanauthor: I'm glad you like this, and I hope I can keep up to your standard, as I hope to have some brilliant (me? brilliant? right...) brainstorms on other characters in which to play with here.

Snape's Gurl: I don't think James is as much of a jerk as he is a teenage boy who feels he needs to be big bad and show off to all of his friends. Petunia, in my opinion, didn't necessarily have any reason to hate him, as we do not know his reasons for transforming her into mouse, though he probably shouldn't have. I'll agree, however, that he was rather harsh to Snape when he shouldn't have been. Thank you for your review and I hope you like whatever I add to this!

angel718: Can you get the 4th chapter now? I reposted in hopes that everyone would be able to get to it.

Hermione30: A lot of people could hurt Remus, that is agreed, but I think he's better off with the people he's around. I thought I'd bring a whole new side to Madam Rosmerta, and it apparently worked. Thank you for being my Beta reader, and I'm sorry that I tend to be impatient!

Daisaigai697832: I'll try to keep it up, but ideas are running thin here. I have one more idea for now, and I think that one will make people more angry than sad, at least I hope they'll be angry.

Mell Minamoto: This is a bit different than your idea with Voldermort, but I did it. I was actually playing with this idea when one of my roommates mentioned that Boheimian Rapsody (by Queen) was so a Tom Riddle song (just after killing his dad and grandparents).

JamieBell: Gossip is talking behind people's backs for no purpose. Most of what you see McGonagall telling Rosmerta is informative, so that she knows what's going on, but you notice she doesn't say anything but nice comments about the Marauders, even if later she believes other things due to McGonagall's info. It's good to know I have a friend out there =)

Duj: It was something that I had come up with first between my Harry Potter buddies, and it's unusual for me to have come up with the theory there, but it doesn't surprize me that other people have thought of it, and I'm not too disappointed in the fact that there are others out there who have claimed that theory already, I just wanted to write something interesting, which I think I accomplished (at least I hope I did). Thanks for your review, and I hope you keep reading!

anna taure: I'm glad you enjoy reading it, and I'm going to try to have more ideas on this, because I like making people think about these characters in a different way!
