Tom Riddle couldn’t love. There was no changing that, but was it possible for someone to love a boy as twisted as Tom? Gwyn Phi loved Tom Riddle all her life, from infants in one crib to the day he left for Hogwarts and never came back.
One Muggle girl can’t change Tom Riddle – but he sure did change her.
Sneak Peek:
New Years Eve, 1926
The wind was harsh on Merope Gaunt’s back as she staggered towards the orphanages high gates. The steps seemed impossible to the heavily pregnant young woman, and she pulled the bell outside the gates while clutching her stomach. Her baby – a boy, she knew it – would be coming soon.
The door opened a crack and a girl not much younger than Merope herself peeked out. “Hullo?” she called.
“Help.” Merope gasped. “Ple-please help me.”
“Oh!” seeing Merope’s stomach the girl threw open the doors and rushed down the steps, helping Merope up the steps. “Ms. Holt!” she called down the corridors. “Ms. Holt, come quick!”
An older lady appeared from one of the many doorways, immediately walking briskly down the halls. “Bring the girl to the closest room, I’ll alert the midwife.”
“My name is Marian Cole.” The girl said and Merope gasped in return. Marian Cole did not judge the girls lank hair, heavy face and eyes that looked in opposite directions; she was a kind hearted person and young herself. Merope Gaunt did not want her pity, and Marian would not give it.
“What’s your name?” she asked gently as Merope collapsed on the bed, crying.
“Me-Merope.” She sobbed. “Merope Gaunt.”
Marian Cole didn’t dwell on the girls odd name, but wrote it down quickly and rushed to help Ms. Holt. “Her name is Merope.” She said and was handed a towel and bowl of cold water.
Within the hour Merope Gaunt fell back onto the bed, gasping as her child came into the world. Marian Cole caught be babe and wrapped it up quickly. Outside the window it snowed heavily, and Merope lay helplessly as the baby was placed on her rags covered chest.
“It’s a boy.”
