15 August 1937

In wool's orphanage on the second floor in the last room laid a boy nearly of age 12. His face was spotless and his features were exquisite as if carved by a master. On his face was the expression of agony, His body sweaty and his mind heavy.

If any child were to be asked they would surely acknowledge the boy as a DEMON as an incarnation of EVIL. There wasn't a child left in the orphanage who dared to face him. They all knew the consequences of angering him. Billy had done so and as a result his bunny was hung by the rafters. They could never prove it but all of them knew that it was his doing, Only he had the powers to do something unexplainable like this. It was him, Tom Marvolo Riddle.

Tom woke up with a deep intake of breath. He surveyed the room checking every atom of it as physically possible.

"Unbelievable," he said, but his face showed no signs of him being surprised. 'Who would have thought that a ritual that was called as a fraud will be my saving grace'.

"I was a fool" he chastised himself. 'I never thought that the Horcruxes will affect me this much. There were many opportunities in which I could have finished potter.

He looks at his hands and then checks his whole body as if a bug was crawling on him and he was trying to pinpoint it.

"No wonder" he murmurs. 'My magic feels so fresh, this feeling of completeness was missing from my old body. Even if I had stopped at the first one it would not have been late. I was a coward'.

But after a second he shakes his head. 'No I was not a coward, I was just paranoid'

As Tom was contemplating his mistakes a knock is heard on the door and a female voice speaks "Tom there's someone who wants to meet you". Tom knew that the voice belonged to the matron of the orphanage, and the sole visitor he had in his whole time in the orphanage was when dumbledore came to give him his Hogwarts letter.

He calculated that it must be that day and if not then this was the first anomaly he would have to face.

But his worries were for naught as when he opened the door he saw dumbledore with the matron standing there looking at him. The matron whose name he couldn't bother to remember was looking at him with suspicion, whereas dumbledore merely held slight curiosity. Tom opened the gate wider and walked back to his bed and sat.

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at his behavior and thanked the matron and requested some privacy. Matron simply nodded and left.

Dumbledore walked in."How'd you do Tom," he asked me. I didn't answer, I just stared at him taking in his features. He looked so young in comparison to the dumbledore I knew.

"You are a doctor aren't you," I asked narrowing my eyes a little. I decided to stick to the script.

"No" was his swift answer "She wants me looked up, they think I'm different" I look him in the eye as I say this.

"Well perhaps they are right," he says with a tone that means to give comfort to a scared child, hmph your everyday dumbledore behavior.

"But I am not mad," I announce seeping some magic into my voice for an intimidating effect. He appears to be startled for a second, but then composes himself and replies "Hogwarts is no place for mad people; Hogwarts is a school, A school for magic".

Tom sat there looking at Dumbledore with not even a hint of emotion on his face and gazed as if bored.

"You can do things can't you Tom, Things that other children can't". Dumbledore said as if assuring me of my own abilities. And here's where I decided to change the course of history.

"Who are you" I demand in an authoritative tone.

"I am like you Tom" He proclaims without batting an eyelash "I'm different".

"Prove it, Do something to this book anything, and I will believe you". I deviate him from trying the spell which he used to find my stolen things in the previous timeline and as such I will minimize the suspicion that the matron might have embedded.

As I finished my proposal the journal started floating in the air and then it flipped. While all this was happening Dumbledore and Tom were still looking at each other.

"At Hogwarts you will be taught not only how to use magic But how to control it. You understand me?" He looks at me as if expecting an answer. I just simply nod.

Then he gives me the details of the wizarding world, How to reach the leaky cauldron and how to access my wizarding account. Then he gave me my Hogwarts letter and another envelope which contained the address of which shop to find for which commodity and a letter for Gringotts entry to Hogwarts walts. It specified that I could only discard 300 galleons every year 260 for school supplies and 40 for personal use.

He stood up and prepared to leave once again he reminded me that Hogwarts started on 1st September.

As he reached the door I asked him a question.

"What is your name" he looked at me and gave a small smile "My name is Albus Dumbledore". With that, he left the room.

As Tom closed the door his face split into a terrifying grin. That grin was famous as it was known exclusively for Voldemort.
