Tom Marvollo Riddle's Truth
While the other 3 houses looked confused and curious about the man's identity, the Slytherins looked at the man in the shadows, observing everyone and their reaction towards him and the whole watching the future thing. His followers looked at each other and then back at him, silently questioning if he was going to come out and show himself. The man just shook his head no, meaning he'll show himself when he deemed right and when he knows no one will attack him. They nod before focusing back to the screen. While the whole exchange was going on, Dumbledore wasn't paying attention too busy thinking that the movies will portray Tom Riddle in an evil light and him as the savior. Oh, what he didn't know was that he was in for a huge awakening.
( Tom Marvollo Riddle was a half blood. He was the son of Merope Guant, a pureblood witch, and Tom Riddle, a common muggle. He was one of the pawns in Dumbledore's chess game. Dumbledore honestly set up the board the moment he found out Tom was a parselmouth.)
While Dumbledore was thinking about Tom being very helpful but being a parselmouth, everybody else thought about the chess part and what it could mean. Dumbledore himself didn't notice this as he was too busy smirking inwardly.
( Dumbledore had many hidden secrets and one of those is about Grindewald. See Albus Dumbledore had once been in a secret relationship with Gellert Grindewald. That is until he found his true plans and decided to go against him.)
The stupid twinkle in his eyes died out and he frowned knowing everything he built could be ruined by the movies." I can't let this happen.'' He mutters under his breath before attempting to stand up when he quickly realizes there's some sort of force holding him back making him slightly panic.
( Gellert Grindewald original plan was never to kill muggles no that was all Dumbledore. He just wanted to keep the magical and the muggle world apart so they could be safe but unfortunately Dumbledore made it seem like he was the villain and turned people against him.
Gellert knew that muggles were dangerous and if they ever find out their existence they would hunt them down and study them. As they do not like anything that looks freaky to them.)
All the muggleborns and some halfbloods felt a bit offended by that but knew they were telling the truth. After all the muggle world won't like something that's not normal and they'd most likely try to get rid of it with no regrets.
( Tom Riddle wanted the same things that Grindewald wanted. He wanted to bring back the old traditions of the wizarding world and thank Lady Magic for their gift of magic as magic gave Tom a home and a sense of safety. But unfortunately Dumbledore once again got in his way and placed compulsions of Tom making him act as a villain and making seem like a psychopath who has no emotions and just wants to kill for fun.
Tom of course became obsessed with the though of immortality as he grew worried that he wouldn't achieve his goal. It was not a coincident that Tom found a book about Horcrux, no it was Dumbledore who planted them. The thing about a Horcrux is that you have to commit the ultimate sin. Death. You'll basically be ripping your soul in half and it would lead to insanity if you create more than 2 or 3.
This was how Tom Marvollo Riddle became Lord Voldemort and how Dumbledore made himself look like a savior and a saint who's trying to protect the wizarding from all the evil residing in it.)
Everyone was disgusted and some where in disbelief and wanted to deny it but they knew it was all true as they thought it over. The Slytherins and a few other students who were his followers were seething and trying to control themselves from lashing out and cursing Dumbledore to oblivion. The Ministry Members quickly got their wands out and chained Dumbledore up so he couldn't escape.
Over on the Gryffindor table, Sirius Black was thinking, something that caught the eye of his honorary brother James Potter." You good. Padfoot?'' He asked generally concerned for his best friend." If the Dark Lord is good and all. Shouldn't he be here watching the future with us?'' He asked aloud and everyone stopped and thought about it before realizing that he was right. That's a first, Sirius Black said something sensible and serious for once.
A chuckle was heard and everyone looked around to see a man coming out of the shadows on the Slytherin side of the room." I've been here from the start.'' He says and everyone either nods at him or look him with a hint of worry or pity.
" If you don't mind me asking, are you still under the compulsions?'' A Hufflepuff asks him cautiously and Tom just shakes his head at them before smiling gently." No, I'm not.'' He replies and the Hufflepuff nods clearly relieve causing some Slytherins to his their laughter behind a cough.
Professor McGonagall looks like she's going to kill Dumbledore shakes her head before clearing her throat." Let's carry on.'' She says and everyone focuses their attention back onto the screen.
The screen is shown to be blank for a few seconds before it shows the words,
