What can be found in a name:

[/I] Lord Voldemort[/ul]
When the day I was born:

The Angels screamed:

And Hell shut its doors:

While creatures retreated:

To depths unknown:

I hide from them:

Be who they want to see:

But that leaves no one:

To discover that inside:

This soulless being:

Is just as lost:

As everyone else:

In a world that knows only hate:

And causes pain for the soulless like me:

They left me to die:

On a bed of roses:

Blood seeping through:

The satin sheets of fame:

What a bitter story of love:

Tom Marvolo Riddle was born on New Years Eve to Merope Gaunt and Tom Riddle. Merope lived with her father and brother, in Little Hangleton. They were all full-blood and descendants of Salazar Slytherin and like him Parslemouths. But having lost of their valuable items, except for a ring and locket, the family lived in horrible conditions in a small shack. Merope felt in love with a wealthy muggle by the name of Tom Riddle. Tom Riddle of course ignored the strange girl’s affections. Morfin, her brother found about her feelings for the muggle and was enraged, going as far as cursing Riddle and telling his father, who also became angered and attacked the girl for loving a muggle. But when Merope’s father and brother where taken to Azkaban and she was finally free from them, she was able to somehow make Tom fall for her, using possibly a Love Potion. The couple married and left Little Hangleton soon after, against Tom’s parents wishes. They both moved to London, where Merope became pregnant with Tom. Thinking that her husband would not leave her, at least not for their child, Merope stopped giving Tom the love potion. But instead of staying with her and their child Tom ran back to his parents’ home. Leaving a broken hearted Merope behind, now in this state of mind Melope was once more unable to do much magic and quickly became very sick. Going as far as selling Salazar Slytherin’s locket for almost nothing. Merope ended in a Muggle Orphanage where she gave bird to her child on Christmas Eve, she died quickly after the bird. But not before she named her child, after her own father and the child’s own father, her last wish was that her child would look like his father.

That was how Tom Marvolo Riddle came into the world. As a small boy he was very handsome, getting all his looks from his father just like his mother. But he also had a very dark and strange personality. He was lonesome and at times cruel toward the other children in the Orphanage. His spend his childhood years in the Orphanage, where he had been born and his mother had lost her life. Not knowing anything about his true heritage or that he was a wizard. Now Tom even as a child showed a large amount of talent. He somehow knew that he was different from all the other children in the Orphanage and was able to bully them using his strange powers. He never felt much remorse about doing horrible things to them; including causing harm both physically and mentally. Instead he chose to take things from his victims as trophies for his actions. Even with his cruelty and actions, Tom was a very smart boy. He was able without help to control his powers very good, knowing exactly what to do with them to other people. His talents also moved outside magic, he was able to read and write very well for someone his age. He was also able to charm new people even if he was never adopted. Tom became bored with his time in the Orphanage, he knew that he didn’t belonged there with those children. He also wanted to find more about his family, his heritage. But it wasn’t until Albus Dumbledore appeared that Tom was able to learn the true about whom or what he was.

But before that Tom learned about another talent he had. Other than been able to move objects, cause things to fly, harm people that angered him or making object disappear. Tom was able to hear and talk to snakes. He had been only eight when it first happened. He had been sitting in his room when a whisper made him look up. He expected to see another orphan, but to his surprise no one was in his room. Tom called and the voice came again. He stood up only to find a small black snake on his window looking directly at him. After that others would come and whisper things to him about others, he would talk back and at times even send them to do things for him, including once biting a fellow Orphan that had taken one of his possessions. When Tom turned eleven his first encounter with the magical world came knocking at his door. This is when he first met Albus Dumbledore, who explained to Tom about what he was, his powers and Hogwarts itself. At first Tom could not believe the man, thinking him to be a doctor. But after he had shown Tom his powers, Tom had not other choice but to be amazed and knowing what he said had to be true. Albus himself was also taken back by the boy, he had abilities that not every other wizard his age had. Already able to use his powers to frighten, punish and control other children. As Albus explained Tom grew excitedly and eager about his gifts, that placed him apart from the other children, making him more especial than them.

Albus was also taken back by the cruel ways Tom used his powers, deciding that he should keep a close eye on the boy. Tom traveled to Diagon Alley by himself, thanks to the information given to him by Albus. There he bought second handed books and robes using the school fond given to him. He was also able to acquired his wand, something that would become his must powerful weapon later in life. After that he traveled to Platform 10 ¾, where his journey to Hogwarts began. Once in Hogwarts Tom was able to charm the teachers and even the other students, who held to knowledge about his actions at the Orphanage, he began to learn quickly all about magic he could. But after a while his attention turned to his heritage. He became hungry with learning more about where he had come from, wanting to become even more important once he knew more about. This hobby became almost as important as he search for power and later immortality. He was able to learn later on about his mother, whom he thought was a muggle or a squib, because a witch would have not died. Thanks to his muddle name he was also able to learn about his connection to Salazar Slytherin and the place his mother had come from. Along with that he was also able to learn about the infamous Chamber of Secrets. But it didn’t matter how much he tried, no information from his father was found. Finally admitting that his father must had been a muggle and ashamed of been named after one changed his name to, Lord Voldemort.

During his time in Hogwarts Tom created a small group of friends or more like followers. Along with them he secretly began planning about creating an army of followers after graduating from Hogwarts. There plan was to make Wizard rule over muggles, which they say as weaker beings than them. Of course so young this plans appeared to be small dreams that would never come true. But Tom has plans to let this plans loose. Plus know that he knows of the Chamber of Secrets he plans on letting Slytherin’s monster loose in Hogwarts. This even lead to young Tom Creating his first Horcrux from the death of a fellow classmate and muggle born. During this time, Tom finally was able to track down his mother family, learning of the muggle heritage of his father. Angry, he killed his parental grandparents and his own father, yet it was his very own uncle who paid for his crime The following years, Tom had to remind down, not able to lead the monster out, fearing that Albus Dumbledore had placed his eyes on him now more than ever. After he graduated, he tried to get the job of Defense Against the Dark Arts, but the Headmaster feared that Tom was too young at the time and should wait until he was older. Tom wasn’t happy, but he wasn’t ready to fight back, he needed to keep his good image after all.

Adulthood & Rise To Power
Tom took this time to travel to Albania, were he had discovered Rowena’s diadem was located, all thanks to her very own daughter. There he killed a man that was living near by and turned the diadem into another of his Horcrux, at this time having three. Later he returned back to London, were he was asked to join the Ministry but ended up declining. He decided to take a job in Borgin and Burges, a shop known to be related with the Dark Arts. Working here he met and elderly witch, Smith, who at the time had Salazar’s Locket, that had once belonged to his mother and Helga’s cup. Tom killed this woman and stole both objects, turning the two into his Horcruxes and blamed the killing on her very own house elf. Tom left his job and began traveling all over he world, collecting supporters to join his cause. Not much was know of him for the following years, until at last he returned to London one more time.

By the late 60s Tom had already a good army of followers, calling themselves Death Eaters and he trusted them with different missions. He also began to recruit other magical creatures that at the time were outcast around the wizard world, a few of them been giants, werewolves, vampires and dementors, slaves to the Ministry of Magic. Tom tried once more to get a job in Hogwarts, bur his wishes were denied by the now Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Tom was more than angry. Deciding to curse the post so that no one would be able to held it for more tha one year. He did took his visit to the school to hide one of his Horcrux inside a room he believed no one knew the location of.[/ul]

I don’t have a current post of him, but here is one of him in Hogwarts.

Been back in Hogwarts was a feeling that Tom loved beyond anything else. As he moved around the halls of the dungeons he couldn‘t feel happier that he was out of the hell whole that he was forced to call home during the summer holidays. One would believe that many of the students would look forward to going back to their families, but Tom didn’t had anything to look forward there. The place filled with filthy little muggle children that would never be anyone in his eyes. The only thing left that gave Tom Riddle hope and strength to go back to the orphanage that he had been forced to live on, away from the world that he belonged to. Was that the upcoming summer would be the last one that he would have to spend there, in one year and just a few months he would be of age. Then he would be free from returning to any place related to muggles. He already had even planned and spoken to someone about getting a small job in Diagon Alley.

Now not everything about Hogwarts made Tom happy. There were things that Tom liked to do and things that he didn’t. On top of that list of not wanting to do was of course, been around muggle borns. But there was also a smaller one and it was to be left alone during his prefect rounds. It wasn’t that he didn’t like to be left alone, because on his mind one needed their own little spaces and time to think alone. But because it would appear that each time they had something important to do the other was nowhere to be found. Now Tom could just return back to the Common Room and have some nice cup of butterbeer and maybe work on his Transfiguration homework. But it wasn’t like Tom Riddle to leave work undone, especially work that was related to Hogwarts. But not even that would stop him from later on going and having a few words with professor Slughorn.

Tom made his way across the last round of the dungeons having just finished the potion classroom that was deserted of any sneaking students. Thinking that he would at last get to go back to his room Tom was forced to give sharp stop. Turning his head slightly toward another of the corridors were he was sure someone had spoken from. The first thing that came to his mind was that the basilisk was doing a nightly round just like him, but that sound had not be very like parse tongue, it sounded more like someone that was lost. He wanted there for a moment, expecting another sound. Tom sighted when no other sound came out, he was already expecting to find some lost first year, probably not even belonged to any of the two houses that had their common rooms down here.

Tom was beginning to think about leaving them there, it would surely teach them a lesson about roaming around after hours. But then there was the reasoning that Professor Slughorn would not be very happy, plus the look of confusing in their faces was something that made him smile here and then. To join with all that he hadn’t taken any points from any house today, maybe his luck would be good and before the night he could take a few points from Gryffindor. Tom turned around making ii inside the halls that the sound had come from, to his surprise the person in there was not a first year, but someone that looked much older. Yet by their looks he was sure he hadn’t seen them around here before. Meaning that they were not after all a Slytherin nor a Hufflepuff, whom he knew rather well by now. “Lost?”
