Dark Lord

Tom Marvolo Riddle was born on December 31, 1926. He grew up in an orphanage and developed a fierce determination to stand out. Attended Hogwarts from 1938 through 1945 as a well-beloved and highly respected Slytherin. After graduating from the wizarding school, the young wizard traveled from 1945 until 1949. However, what he did during those four years is unknown to all except himself and a now-dead woman. Who is this woman? Her name was Lyra (L/N), who was from an ancient and truly pure-blooded family. In 1949, she gave birth to a baby boy named (M/N) Riddle, Tom's son. 1950, Tom started working at Burgin and Burkes, slowly building power and followers. At some point in the '60s, Tom became Lord Voldemort, and (M/N) watched as his father grew more and more powerful. In 1970, Voldemort started the First Wizarding War by taking advantage of one of the wizarding world's greatest weaknesses: the beings and creatures that they had outcast. 1975, (M/N) Riddle killed his father with the help of a young Death Eater named Regulus Black in secret. (M/N) took over as The Dark Lord with Regulus as his Second from the shadows, very few knowing that Voldemort was dead. Then, sometime in the 1980s, a prophecy was made and overheard by a Severus Snape. He told (M/N) about it and (M/N) narrowed down the possibilities to two families; the Potters and the Longbottoms.
