@Crystal_54 asked: "Dear Tom M. Riddle, Considering the following. Why haven't you become an author? We could use some more Tom x Hermione Fanfics. And of course, if you wrote it, the personality would be perfect. (Just like your cheekbones...) <3 Patiently waiting, Crystal_54."

*Owldemort delivers yet another gold-lined important-looking letter to you*

Dear @Crystal_54,

I have not considered being an author. However, in my Hogwarts years, I have dabbled in a bit of poetry.
Here is one of the poems I wrote when I was younger, about my experiences growing up in an orphanage and finding Hogwarts.
Forgive me if it sounds rather emotionally depressing.

Rejection.
A kind of excommunication
From these Mudbloods-
A contamination.

The word they used to describe me:
Different-
Not in a good way.
But I feel indifferent.

An orphanage
Is a a place of nothingness.
Unfeeling all,
Except the emptiness.

These empty days grew emptier
Until I was eleven.
Until I went to Hogwarts
From the first year to Year Seven.

Hogwarts
Seemed like a dream.
And my future, at last,
Practically seemed to gleam.

Then I discovered something:
Power.
And that there is no one good or evil.
Only the ones who claim it or cower.

I promised myself
One day
That I would make
Those filthy Muggles pay.

So I opened the Chamber.
I released the beast.
The fear began to spread
And the power began to feast.

Then I met someone.
A girl.
She understood me
And my plans began to whirl.

But she did not share my perspective.
She believed in something else.
Blood-status didn't matter,
At least, that's what she tells.

At first I began to believe her.
Then I did not.
When a Muggle came and hurt her
And left her there to rot.

She did not have her wand
Because no magic outside of school.
When the drunken Muggle pulled the trigger-
It wasn't much of a duel.

Her death cannot be undone by magic
Because the bullet pieced her heart.
She ceased to exist any longer
And my thoughts began to depart.

How could she leave me by myself?
How could she die, just like that?
How could a Muggle end her,
Like she was nothing more than a rat?

I admit that now I am scared
Of dying.
They say it is inevitable
But I know they're really lying.

There is a way, in fact,
To avoid the end of life.
I split my soul into pieces
Like bread with a knife.

I think of her sometimes.
Her happy, cheerful smile.
But I don't want to remember.
Remembering isn't worthwhile.

I hate these Mudbloods.
They will soon decline.
I will take away what is theirs
As they've taken what is mine.

*looks away*
You learn something new everyday.

Sincerely,
Tom Marvolo Riddle

P.S. I will consider making Tom x Hermione Fanfictions. Not saying I will, but I will think about it.
