"...Finally, you've come," the Sorting Hat said on Tom's head.
Tom wondered, What is it saying?
187Please respect copyright.PENANAZG5GtjyOJH
The Sorting Hat said, "Hogwarts has been waiting for you for a long time..."
Tom thought, Can you hear what I'm thinking?
187Please respect copyright.PENANAiVo7Bfw0xd
The Sorting Hat replied, "Yes."
Tom asked, "Can others hear you talking too?"
187Please respect copyright.PENANAGiYp6WTMwU
The Sorting Hat responded, "The conversation between us is a secret."
Tom questioned, "What do you mean by saying Hogwarts has been waiting for me?"
187Please respect copyright.PENANAPa2hRQNnhA
The Sorting Hat replied, "A curse, a curse that has been dormant in the castle for centuries."
Tom exclaimed, "What?"
187Please respect copyright.PENANA5snyeXuIa7
The Sorting Hat said, "I'm sorry, child, but you belong here by birth. Slytherin!"
The Sorting Hat shouted the last word loudly, but there was almost no applause.
187Please respect copyright.PENANASsdiFZxpkh
Even those who were clapping blindly quickly stopped.
People started discussing, and only Dumbledore had an expression of "I knew it."
187Please respect copyright.PENANASvchyFtBr3
"Isn't he the boy who works for Ollivander?"
Many first-year students recognized Tom.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAjVNkZyhOrF
Tom's birthday was on the last day of the previous year (1937), and it was then that he discovered he was a wizard.
In January of this year (1938), he started working at the wand shop and continued working there until just before the start of the school year.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAP5RVeZNcF0
During this time, almost everyone who came to buy a wand remembered him.
It was because Ollivanders have never had an assistant before.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAu4GdpI36fr
"But isn't it said that Slytherin only accepts students from noble families? His last name is Riddle, right?"
Students and teachers whispered among themselves.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAEOQf65WBq0
"Maybe he's just very ambitious?"
People always try to find a reasonable explanation for things.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAC0NedEhQpk
Meanwhile, Tom, expressionless on the stage, took off the hat.
Deep down, he had no desire to be sorted into Slytherin.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAEEweN9o1Ls
He wanted to be in Ravenclaw.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAuEJ0A1iF94
He had heard long ago that Slytherin valued bloodlines, and for someone like him, an orphan from the Muggle world with unknown parentage, going to that house would only be torture.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAqP3NuTMyw3
"Hey, aren't you from the Ollivander family?"
The boy sitting next to Tom sized him, as if afraid of getting dirty.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAsftFDCZKro
Tom replied, "No, I'm not."
The boy persisted, "Then are you related to them?"
187Please respect copyright.PENANACQVuu5EVEF
Tom gave him a proud look as if to say, "Who are you to ask me?"
The boy returned the stare, snorting disdainfully.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA0SNBEX5ndL
The whispers among the Slytherins seemed to revolve around finding a way to expel this anomaly that had tainted their house.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAggJ9ke2JEn
Tom remained unruffled by their scrutiny, sitting confidently in his seat. Every move he made during the meal was impeccable, and he appeared remarkably at ease.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA00BKCnXzZ4
"Perhaps he simply doesn't want to reveal his family background. Who would have a surname just happens to be Riddle?" whispered the girls, starting such rumours.
The animosity toward Tom grew stronger among the boys.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAJaTxrmrKMa
Tom thought to himself that he was accustomed to this.
Just like where everyone competed to be adopted, the children in the orphanage had joined forces to exclude him from the start.
187Please respect copyright.PENANATXinbREv14
Excellence always drew jealousy.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA3dt8gd8V1Z
In his heart, Tom encouraged himself, "I will make these 'nobles' regret it, just like the kids back at the orphanage."
They would regret, daring to study in the same house as him.

Ginny's performance in Potions class had no impact on the progress of the class.
In fact, she handled the brewing of potions faster and more accurately than two of her classmates combined.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAIKWRcRdvj5
It wasn't just Potions. she excelled in all subjects in classroom performance.
Initially, when no one raised their hand to answer questions, the teachers would habitually call on Ginny upon seeing her red hair.
And Ginny's answers were always precise and detailed, prompting the teachers to encourage her to be more proactive in class and not be too shy.
187Please respect copyright.PENANABgpOYqCeiC
This held true for every time she is in any class.
Her classmates had grown accustomed to treating her as a know-it-all and refrained from saying anything foolish in her presence.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAYlkGFSyfpO
"Well, she doesn't need to study anyway..." her classmates would say behind her back.
"Her brothers are either Prefects, Team captains, or Head Boy..."
187Please respect copyright.PENANAqJuSFXlcTj
So Ginny still didn't have any friends.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAxqWvvOOtOI
Hufflepuff's Ricky was obsessed with insects, which terrified Ginny.
Ravenclaw's Luna was always in her own world, speaking in riddles. Ginny found communication with her exhausting.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAOxvlbWJ1mj
Bad rumours lingered.
The rumour about Ginny bullying Eugene to the point of transferring schools persisted and grew more exaggerated.
Whenever Slytherins encountered her, they would make jokes about fearing to offend the "princess" and such.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAZakXgJCYfl
But what hurt Ginny the most was that even Gryffindors seemed to believe in the rumours.
So when she took the initiative to ask Kenny and others if they wanted to play chess together, Colin made a snide comment, "We wouldn't want to take up your precious resting time."
187Please respect copyright.PENANA2xh7yOMIEB
Stephanie and Daisy made it even more obvious.
Every time Ginny entered the room, they would immediately stop talking.
Ginny had caught glimpses of words aimed at her right before she pushed open the door several times...
187Please respect copyright.PENANAOmntaQEK1E
After some deliberation, Ginny gave up.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA5ApfU4JCXP
She threw herself into academics, making her essays increasingly profound and comprehensive.
Her practical skills were impeccable as well.
Except from Professor Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts Class.187Please respect copyright.PENANAxsDCn5gxks
187Please respect copyright.PENANA5ez1Oalpnj
Ginny was staring blankly at the play being performed on the stage.
Luna was sitting next to her, doodling on parchment.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAodoKZYIbuU
Ginny couldn't make sense of Luna's random drawings. Well, Luna didn't really care about grades anyway.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAVVtR5Z2XpM
"Hey, Luna, why aren't you studying at home?" Ginny asked her in a concerned whisper.
Luna had a small note stuck to her back today that said "Loony." Ginny saw it during class and discreetly tore it off for her.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bm3uowtLb
In the classroom now, apart from a few of Lockhart's "fangirls" who were "paying attention" in class, the rest of the students were chatting amongst themselves.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAWNwhCX3P7s
Luna paused her drawing and said, "I need more research materials."
Ginny asked, "What are you researching, then?"
187Please respect copyright.PENANA1t2Z04RXBa
Luna blinked dreamily and replied, "Soul, life, the essence of humanity."
Ginny tilted her head in confusion and said, "Uh, okay."
187Please respect copyright.PENANATra2h7Xhv0
Everyone had different reasons for coming to Hogwarts.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAENtldC7APT
"Someone has warn me, said that I should be careful around you," Luna suddenly said.
"Who?" Ginny asked, although this question might be pointless.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA7J6MoMooEr
"They say you pretend to be a friend and then...," Luna's gaze towards Ginny was more questioning than critical.
Ginny's face turned bright red, a mixture of anger and embarrassment. She pressed tightly and whispered, "So, do you believe them?"
187Please respect copyright.PENANA47j9OArXiA
Luna looked at her with a slightly crazy yet earnest expression and said,
"Sometimes, I have dreams where I feel like I've forgotten something important.
It feel like there's another me protecting me, filtering out things that could hurt me.
I call it the 'other dark side of the moon,' something that I think everyone has one.
They might even know each other, in dreams."
187Please respect copyright.PENANA38DDHj3rsS
Ginny asked, "So, you mean to say that you believe everyone has a dark side?"
Luna replied, "It's more like our stillborn twin. She only appears when she senses danger for us. She is the subject of my research, so I maintain this state."
187Please respect copyright.PENANAytFGpB2hA4
Ginny became even more puzzled, but it sounded like Luna was empathizing with her from her "crazy" point of view.
"I hope you're not constantly in danger," Ginny kindly said, showing her concern for Luna.
"Also, I truly don't feel guilty to anyone," Ginny added.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAU4uhUbQlII
Luna, uninterested, said, "I don't care about Eugene, nor however he ends up.
But you have been hindering my research. I had hoped that you would be more intriguing."
187Please respect copyright.PENANAuwO5WD1jPq
Ginny was speechless, thinking to herself: According to Luna's logic, does that mean Tom is my deceased still born twin?
Did Luna actually want to get to know Tom? Did she think he was more interesting than herself?
187Please respect copyright.PENANAMmtiHtI39D
Ginny hadn't written in her diary for a week, but she still carried it with her every day.
She was afraid of him, but... she was even more afraid that some "classmates" would harm her.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAoBid7d7LCS
If she were to complain to her brothers, perhaps her parents would immediately come and withdraw her from school.
But if she left now, it would be like admitting defeat, silently bearing false and completely opposite accusations, and running away.
Therefore, even though she knew she didn't truly enjoy this situation, she still didn't want to explain herself to those who didn't believe her.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA5dFTsOpaAa
How would a mature adult handle this?
Confront everyone directly?
Besides making herself look like a pitiful mad girl, what effect would it really achieve?
Did she want acceptance such friendship obtained in this way?
187Please respect copyright.PENANAYVO9JkDL28
Deep down, she was actually proud and looked down upon those who believed rumours without question, leading them to distance themselves from her or doubt her.
So, she may be also destined to remain like this.187Please respect copyright.PENANAOScjjFpQg4

187Please respect copyright.PENANAXuQif7B3bf
Ginny: Hi, Tom.
Tom: You're back. Haven't you made any other friends? I'm surprised.
Ginny: Even if I have friends, I will still come to you.
Tom: Is that so? Don't you only come to me when you're in trouble?
187Please respect copyright.PENANAb1jTLosIMG
Ginny felt a bit guilty.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAysrYwQNlWE
Ginny: I confide in you about my troubles, but that doesn't mean I only want your help.
Tom: I don't understand.
Ginny: I just want you to believe in my story completely, as my diary.
Tom: If I don't believe you or want to protect you, will you discard me?
187Please respect copyright.PENANAXbYbO6dh7f
Ginny thought this diary is too emotional.
It had a complete disregard for its existence as an inanimate object.
But thinking about Tom's perspective, she felt sorry for him. She was his whole world.
187Please respect copyright.PENANArg0alhS5KP
Ginny could only cruelly said: You're not a person. Being friends with you is an unrealistic emotional comfort.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAXfbHmjSLQY
Knowing Tom's abilities, she was afraid. If she became too obsessed with writing in the diary, she wouldn't be able to resist giving all her troubles to Tom.
Tom was firm, terrifying, and powerful, and she didn't want to lose herself, even though she was weak and powerless.
187Please respect copyright.PENANARnOf26uYyy
Tom: Then why do you still come to me?
Ginny: I... want you to help another friend of mine.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAAclFnBuRyy
She thought about giving Tom to Luna, at least for a while.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAIVJvGO5Ohl
Tom: Are you using me to curse her?
Ginny: Curse? No, she truly is my friend.
Tom: And what about me? Am I not your friend?
Ginny: You're a valuable defence tool. I have received a lot of support from you. But now, I'm not in as much danger.
187Please respect copyright.PENANArZY40Ixxob
Tom didn't respond.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA42A8kXUuwo
Ginny felt that Tom, as a tool, had never really obeyed since the beginning of their acquaintance. This was both his merit and his flaws.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA9uEyFEDaXQ
Ginny pleaded: Tom, you would help anyone who uses you, right?
Tom refused: That reason abandoning me for. How is it different from me using your body to protect you?
187Please respect copyright.PENANA0XUOfGFn4G
Ginny didn't know what to say for a moment.
She looked up at the sky and closed the diary that "thought too highly of itself."

Fifty years ago,
187Please respect copyright.PENANANvVQDPtd1u
"Slytherin gains 20 points for Mr. Riddle's excellent performance."
Dumbledore said in the Transfiguration class.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAYnEONYcnK4
Only Tom could turn matches into silver needles before class ended.
Tom was also secretly suprise and curious why others found it so difficult.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA14nxztE4Um
"Mr. Riddle, can you stay for a chat?" Dumbledore asked after class.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA0pZPzxRNO0
"It's been a while. Can I call you Tom?"
Tom nodded and voluntarily confessed, "I returned those things to them." (referring to the children in the orphanage)
187Please respect copyright.PENANA5FICqLREer
Dumbledore smiled tolerantly, "I know you did. Are you doing well in Slytherin?"
Tom answered cautiously, "I'm curious... Are there any precedents for transferring to another house in Hogwarts?"
187Please respect copyright.PENANAbScDPpId5z
Dumbledore asked, smiling mysteriously, "Is that what the Sorting Hat insists?"
Tom asked in somewhat displeased, "Professor, do you know anything about my father?"
187Please respect copyright.PENANA0MWnixvhgN
Dumbledore replied, "I only know Slytherin himself is also a Parselmouth."
Tom hesitated and said, "Well..."
Dumbledore interrupted him, saying, "I believe, everyone can choose their own future, regardless of where they come from. So, If you insist on transferring, you can come to me."
Tom then clamly said, "I think I'll stay a bit longer in this house in order to find my father. Thank you, Professor."
187Please respect copyright.PENANAjpgxOKeFOp
All the professors showed special concern for him.
Perhaps it was because of his excellent performance in class, but Tom suspected that Dumbledore also had spoken to the other teachers behind his back.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAcLy5l00b7n
In Slytherin, the rumours about him, the scion of a hidden noble family, became even more pronounced.
Tom defended himself against various indirect probe and inquiries, focusing solely on his academic pursuits.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAvhiRU8YSQi
He knew that lies would eventually be exposed, but the skills to survive would never betray him.
School and popularity were transient.
He had grown accustomed to having no friends.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAuuaQ7gDMbv
Dumbledore said, "When you have questions or problems, you can always come to me. I'm also interested in the task left by your ancestors."
Tom thought to himself, "that task about clearing out the non-purebloods, by the chamber and the monster?"
He would never want to meddle in such matters as he is also most likely not a pure blood neither.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAuOKLZMJybG
At last, Tom said, "Actually, I'm more interested in finding a way to not go back to the orphanage. If you know someone who might want to adopt a ..."
Tom was not someone who couldn't lower his head. Dumbledore had already demonstrated his power and influence.
In a situation where confrontation would bring no benefits, if a few kind words could solve his most pressing problem...
187Please respect copyright.PENANAjPzXqcN8Do
Dumbledore looked at him with kindness.
"Tom, I believe if you reveal your talent for speaking Parseltongue, you might instantly become a desirable match among the noble families. However, true family is found through fate, kindness, and patience. For now, Hogwarts is your home. Let's make some friends first," Dumbledore said.
187Please respect copyright.PENANApnYrhEdcjF
Tom pondered deeply and nodded. "I will see how things unfold. Goodbye, Professor."
Tom felt that Dumbledore knew very well who his parents were.
However, Dumbledore advised against searching for them. It seemed that it wouldn't lead to any good results.
Although Tom would still confirm it himself secretly.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA8rcEzKw5Eo
Dumbledore also advised him not to reveal his talent for speaking Parseltongue, at least until he discreetly resolved the "Chamber of Secrets" situation.
Otherwise, it would attract unwanted attention from those seeking to gain power, and it might even alarm his biological family.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAuncCxdSHar
Tom speculated, if one of his parents was an "heir," why hadn't they opened the Chamber of Secrets for centuries? So, the task of the Chamber of Secrets was most likely a mess.
Especially someone with unknown parentage like he, who most likely a mixed blood. How can he purge himself out of the school from the start?
187Please respect copyright.PENANAYm62JaCoXL
He also longed for someone to rely on, someone with whom he didn't have to keep so many secrets and could explore these tasks together.
But the only person who knew it all, Dumbledore, seems to only enjoy wanted to witness his performance then actually helping. He, as a teacher, was indeed troublesome and had a mischievous nature.
187Please respect copyright.PENANANRpjgNx2lb
He was that type of adult, who like arranged the lives of others under the guise of "for their own good."
187Please respect copyright.PENANApLOzst2j7d
----------------
187Please respect copyright.PENANAbxYbvVWPKI
On that day, Ginny returned from studying in the library, thinking about how to convince Tom to guard Luna.
Percy was waiting at the entrance to the Gryffindor Tower.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA8yMRWigWMC
"Ginny, can we talk?" he asked.
Ginny had a bad feeling about it.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAKFcMywcB37
Just when her days were starting to go well, she least needed this untimely concern.
He led her to the common room of the prefects.
The others happened to be absent.
It was a good place for a private conversation.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAHY1PZeTM9r
Percy said, "Ginny, I've been hearing a lot of people talking about you."
"I know," Ginny replied.
Percy asked, "You and that Slytherin boy..."
Ginny responded, "I barely know him at all."
Percy retorted, "Then why is everyone saying otherwise?"
Angry, Ginny said, "And you believe them so easily?"
187Please respect copyright.PENANAH30bUhRVsi
Although she had a vague idea of what he wanted to discuss, hearing it directly still chilled her.
Why did she have to be responsible for what others said?
She knew Percy looked down on her.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAvsbKYA3U2b
Percy forcefully stated, "I asked all the first-years, and they all said you wouldn't bother talking to them."
Ginny didn't expect her brother, whom she had been living with for over a decade, to come and "lecture" her like this just because of a few "outsider's opinions."
And when did he ever even "bother" to come and talk to her at school?
187Please respect copyright.PENANAneh9Lpuulf
Percy rationalized, "I've reported it to Mum and Dad. I suggested they let you study at home."
Ginny couldn't believe it. "What?"
Percy said, "You can't make friends, and you won't be happy if you force yourself to stay in Gryffindor."
Ginny was so angry her eyes turned red. "Is it just because I embarrassed you?"
187Please respect copyright.PENANAgN91QF7BFl
Percy was only concerned about his "image."
He is the most conceited and vain person in whole the family.
Perhaps Percy "had friends" only because of his luck, not because of his true nature at all?
187Please respect copyright.PENANAUuDdnLKErh
Percy said, "This is for your own good. You'll thank me in the future. We have just as many study resources at home as at Hogwarts.
With our notes, passing O.W.L.S and N.E.W.T. won't be a problem. You'll even have more flexibility and freedom at home than at school. I don't understand what you have to complain about."
187Please respect copyright.PENANAHthD9771aZ
Ginny was so furious she couldn't find the words. "You're just great."
Before leaving, she angrily raised her middle finger.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAryRy6sqpMk
As she walked through the corridors, she remembered all the effort she had put in, working harder than anyone in her year. Yet, in the end, she felt like the one who had "failed."
187Please respect copyright.PENANAZGAvl1WYRi
Was it solely because "they" didn't like her?
That "they" think the one who seemed off was her?
187Please respect copyright.PENANAScEmPKPEjI
Heartbroken, angry, and filled with shame, tears welled up in her eyes.
She didn't want to return to the common room or her dormitory.
If anyone saw her, the stories about her behind her back would become even more elaborate.
In a corner of an empty classroom, she opened her diary and accidentally dropped a tear onto its pages.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAfB3FgBCU9y
Tom: Are you okay?
Ginny: Percy is a jerk.
Tom: Your third brother?
Ginny doesn't respond.
187Please respect copyright.PENANApcztHnePa3
Tom: I've never had a family.
Ginny can't help but shout in text: Because you're a diary! Okay!
Tom: I just wanted to tell you that I've always been tossed around too.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAJhdZfaqDv1
Ginny calms down a bit.
Ginny: I'm sorry for wanting to abandon you.187Please respect copyright.PENANANgCnYozciI
187Please respect copyright.PENANA7VBb6aZgVK
She no longer has the energy to care about others.
She even feels a bit tempted to curse Percy.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAHZdFDR9ION
As family, she had hoped that when Percy heard those rumours, he would refute them or even reprimand those who spread them.
But now, after that so-called "stain" had been emphasized repeatedly, she began to think that maybe Tom wasn't entirely wrong.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA8pRqMf1sTJ
Even if she handed over the incident of Eugene attacking her to the teachers for handling, would those gossiping people really shut their mouths?
187Please respect copyright.PENANAMS2AM4ImvV
She vaguely sence that those who talk behind hers' backs, fundamentally just have a desire to "conquer" her.
Regardless of whether she's right or wrong, they will always emerge.
Like demons, they stay by your side, waiting for you to fail.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAebX1DKWoD5
People who can't stand to see others doing well will never change.
What's the point of befriending such people? Let them find better opportunities to attack her?
187Please respect copyright.PENANA5mcrsxMEoM
Tom: I've always wanted a family because they would support me unconditionally, and I would do the same for them.
Ginny: Ha, you're thinking too idealistically. When you lag behind someone in your family even just a little bit, the ones who curse the loudest are...
187Please respect copyright.PENANAbLDMGCuqGR
Ginny clenches her fists and can't continue writing.
She fantasizes about the day when she can turn around and say to Percy, "You're the one holding me back..."
187Please respect copyright.PENANAoV7x43AQ4D
Tom: So what did he do?
Ginny explains her recent situation, the causes and effects.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAJuGHZUkvYM
Tom: I think you're handling it well. Don't pay attention to what those students think.
I think if you find a supportive teacher and have them send a letter to your parents, this matter will be resolved.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAk3VOl7ErAe
Ginny can immediately think of a few friendly teachers.
Ginny: But wouldn't that be embarrassing? Asking a teacher to intervene in such a private matter.
Tom: The ones who harmed you aren't embarrassed, so why do you feel embarrassed?
Isn't school supposed to be a place where students can pursue their optimum desired development?
187Please respect copyright.PENANARMe7CtLI4c
Ginny: You're right. Thank you, Tom.
She closes the diary once again.
She takes a deep breath.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA5siLVk6z39
School is far from the ideal place Tom describes.
Learning to "fight for oneself" may be more important than acquiring knowledge.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA1N2187bopf
When too many people are trapped in a small place,
they compare themselves to each other and become narrower in minds.
Beyond the surface rules, the judgments in secret are even more terrifying.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAgGHLbynurq
Perhaps Percy is right, she would indeed be happier if she went home.
But just for that "ambition" sparked by the environment.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAMYj9M59Q1V
Tom is essential to her, no doubt.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA4S7ErYIwoE
Ginny realizes that Tom, despite being hard to control, is more timely and caring than her own brothers.
She needs his support, both emotionally and in terms of strength.
She dismisses the idea of giving Tom to Luna and silently hopes that one day she will excel in school even more than Percy did.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAbXkZnvQRlo
She wants to be the one who can looking down on him in one day, so badly.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAnuBMz1NWJG
