Albus went to the library with his newly aquired book still tucked under his robes. He looked around for a minute trying to decide where to start.perhaps the HISTORY OF MAGIC section will be sufficienthe thought. So, he meandered to that section which is located on the left side of the library. He immediatly started browsing titles until he came across the book HOGWARTS A HISTORY. Lets see if this book contains anything relevent. As he flipped through the chapters he found nothing to his interest. Frustrated he continued his search. He then came across another book titled HOGWARTS STUDENTS OF RECENT AND ANCIENT HISTORY. He opened to the table of contents which took up about the length of a normal chapter itself. Now where to begin? I think I should start with Slytherins Students since that IS where I found the book He opened to the Slytherin section of the Table of Contents and saw a list of names:The Bloody Baron,Black Bellatrix, Malcolm Baddock,Arcturus Black ,Arcturus Black,Bellatrix Black, Belvina Black,Callidora Black,Cassiopeia Black,Charis Black, the list went on and on. He got a headache from looking at all the names. He picked up the book to examine it yet again. This time he noticed something that he apparently had missed before..The letters TMR written in gold cursive on the bottom right of the book. Hmmm.. Slytherins with the initials TMR. He reread the list of Slytherin names until he came across TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE.Thats TMR...It HAS to be.
He was exited with self-triumph as he opened the book to the page containing information about TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE. Born of a witch mother (Merope Gaunt) and a Muggle father (Tom Riddle, Sr.) on December 31, 1926.His mother had fallen in love with his father, who was a Muggle, and tricked him into marrying her with a love potion. While she was pregnant with Tom Jr. she allowed the love potion to wear off and he abandoned her and moved back into the Riddle house with his parents. Merope died giving birth to her son so Tom Jr. was raised in a Muggle orphanage. Tom grew up to be a very powerful wizard. He excelled at Hogwarts, winning awards for service to the school and magical merit. He was even head boy in his seventh year, but he was already dabbling in the Dark Arts while still at school. Some of his closest friends in Slytherin were already calling him Voldemort, a name Riddle had chosen by rearranging the his given name into "I am Lord Voldemort."After leaving Hogwarts, Riddle began working at Borgin and Burke's in Knockturn Alley. His job was to ferret out items of value and obtain them at the lowest price possible. He disappeared one day (after murdering Hepzibah Smith), and when he returned he was known only as 'Lord Voldemort.' Few people except perhaps for Dumbledore and his early followers remembered the Dark Lord's origins. What had I stumbled upon? He thought in horror and awe. Of course he LEARNED about Lord Voldemort but this was unreal to him.
