CHAPTER 5 LORD VOLDEMORT
Lord Voldemort was born under the name Tom Riddle according to legend. But that's not how it really happened. The real story is that the Lord was created by Severus Snape in a laboratory using spare parts from animate and inanimate objects. Snape was very angry due to poor treatment he received as a teen, so he sought revenge by creating an evil sorcerer. Little did he know that the would create someone more powerful than any that came before.
Voldemort was ugly like a snake. In fact, Snape modeled him after a snake. It is unknown what kind. Other than that it was a large snake with fangs. In zoos the largest snakes are anacondas and pythons, but it would be a stretch to say Voldemort was one of those.
Snakes can be mild or poisonous. They can be friendly or morose. On the other hand, they have very strong senses although they do not have much use for money. All of this is to say that snakes are multi-faceted beings with wishes and desires much like humans or cats or new forms of artificial intelligence.
I, the author, do not really approve of snakes as pets. But there are others who do like them, and I choose to respect their preferences unless they are in an area where the local zoning ordinances disallow snakes as pets. For I feel it is important to follow rules. One must respect rules.
This type of respect is often missing in the younger generations, although there are counter examples even within this story. For example, Dumbledore respects rules.
So it turns out Voldemort was snake like yet not like a snake. He disguised himself as Draco Malfoy in order to get close to the students at Hogwarts. (Hogwarts is a school). He offered a weekly podcast on logical positivism which was heard in 12 countries but did so under a pseudonym. It was all part of his grand plan.
Disguised as Draco, he could grant himself access to the unsuspecting victims!
Voldemort captured on this day two of the little midgets from Gringott's. He fed them weed which kept them from leaving. They were content to stay in Voldemort's clutches, thinking they were in idyllic pastures. Voldemort liked midgets because they make him feel better about himself.
Who would be the hero and save them? It would not be Colin Creavey.
