Tom Riddle was the boy I loved long ago, years before he changed his name to something fearing of Death. He used to have an inexplicable charm about him, something in his eyes that anyone might have fallen for.

It was different after our fourth year. He had changed much over the summer. He had a look in his eyes that made everyone want to run.

It was power, hunger, and fury that burned within. No, Avery, I'm not coming to Slughorn's tonight, he told me. That was the night I knew I had lost the parts of him I adored. I had lost him, in all of his suspected innocence and brilliance.

I never stopped loving Tom Riddle, but I could never love the man that he became: Voldemort.
