Tom Marvolo Riddle , Heir of Slytherin did not pay special attention to a nobody rather than the purebloods who think that their more stronger than him but as time traveled faster than Merlin's beard they now know who they should be scared of , they now cower and bow down to him like the fools that they are.
He was busy with finding the chamber of secrets when one day he met a raven haired boy with green eyes that seem to glow in the dark in the name of the killing curse ; he belonged to the house of Ravenclaw . He was surprised at the intensity of the boy stare ; it made his body feel like he has been just hit with a spell that left his whole body ...free
He wanted to know more about this boy who he had just met
The boy was intriguing to Tom.
He tried using legilimency on they boy but it seemed as the boy had a vast experience of legilimency and his wards were up and really hard to get through them to Tom's dismay.
He learned that the boy's name was Harry Evans and he just transferred to Hogwarts in their fourth year , Tom had thought that the b- Harry was a pureblood due to his magic level but was astonished when he found out he was just a half-blood just like Tom and yet Harry's wards were very high than the self proclaimed pureblood that he managed to sway his way , he could use someone as strong as Harry who would never betray him even if it's a spell. that would be good now all he needed was a little bit of info about Harry before manipulating him to join Tom's circle.
