Life after Hogwarts.
Tom had been on an endless journey of self-discovery from the moment he first drew breath. He always knew he didn't belong, never quite able to fit in or play the part that others seemed to embrace with ease.
Marriage, family, these held no appeal for him. He craved something more, something that could justify the work, the effort, the drive inside him.
There was something wrong with him, and he had known it from a young age. The urge to hurt others without reason had always been there. It wasn't until his time at Hogwarts that he discovered the full extent of his mind's power, and how he could wield it for his own dark purposes.
A brief glimpse into the mind of Tom Riddle.
