On the last day of 1926, Tom Marvolo Riddle was born in front of an orphanage in London, England
Her mother, Melop Gunter, was a pure-blood wizard descendant of the famous Salazar Slytherin
Because the Gaunt family was so proud of their pure-blood bloodline, they almost never intermarried with outsiders
Therefore, the children of the Gaunt family are more or less suffering from the sequelae of intermarriage between close relatives, and their temper is almost more brutal from generation to generation
The Gunter family is also very good-looking, likes pomp and circumstance, and by the time of the Melop generation, their family has almost no savings
His father, Tom Riddle Sr., was a local Muggle rich man and a typical second-generation muggle
He is very handsome, has a lot of wealth, and has a loving lover
However, when Melup saw Tom Riddle Sr., she was attracted by his talent
Despite the refusal of the elder Tom Riddle, Meropp did not hesitate to break up Tom Riddle and his lover
Secretly using wizarding drugs, Old Tom Riddle falls in love with her, and abducts Old Tom Riddle to elope with her
The two did not have a good life after eloping, during which Time Melop sold the Slytherin locket to make ends meet
Later, Merop became pregnant with tom Riddle's child
At this time, she naively thought that after the two people had been together for a long time, old Tom Riddle would naturally really like him
So she didn't want to rely on drugs to maintain the relationship between the two people, so she stopped using drugs on toaddle Sr
The sober old Tom Riddle was shocked to see Meropp in front of him, and he didn't want to stay with Melop at all
He ruthlessly abandoned Melope and the unborn child
Lonely and lonely, Meropp gave birth to to Little Tom Riddle at the door of the Wool orphanage
She handed over her newborn child to the orphanage staff and told him that the child had the surnames of her father and maternal grandfather, named Tom Marvolo Riddle
Then the stubborn and poor woman died
Growing up in an orphanage, Tom Marvolo Riddle did not know his wizarding identity, but only vaguely felt that he had powers that other children could not have
He can teleport objects, talk to animals, and even take revenge on others with his mind
This special ability made the other children in the orphanage feel very frightened, they were never willing to take the initiative to talk to Tom, and no one wanted to be his friend
For these "unfriendly" children, Tom also began his counterattack
He would hang the rabbits adopted by other children directly, take other people's things for himself, and even abduct two children from the orphanage into a cave by the sea
Until that summer of 1938, Tom's life was completely changed by the arrival of a person
He was Albus Dumbledore
Dumbledore heard about Tom's bad deeds and strange behavior, and instantly understood Tom's wizarding talent
To reassure Tom, Dumbledore takes the initiative to show his magic in front of Tom and takes Tom to Hogwarts to school
Unlike Harry, Tom, who learned that he was a wizard, showed little difference
After entering the school, Tom was assigned to Slytherin House, where he was smart and hardworking
In the eyes of his classmates, he is completely a personable and good student
No one could have imagined that he would become the Great Demon King that everyone would fear in the future
Secretly, Tom has been in the school's reading room, looking up information about his origins
He learned that his mother was of Slytherin descent and that his father was just an ordinary Muggle and had ruthlessly abandoned their mother and son
He became very angry and vowed to be the greatest wizard he could be, vowing to make his father pay the price
He wanted to make all the wizards afraid of him, not even to mention his name, and it turned out that he did in the end
Upon learning the truth about his origins, Tom begins to become wildly obsessed with pure-blood wizarding blood
He recruits soldiers at school and organizes his followers, who are the predecessors of the Death Eaters
In Tom's eyes, he was a descendant of pure-blood Slytherin, and these classmates, although following him, were only worthy to be their own servants
