    Summary

    Severus didn't learn the girl's name until the sorting ceremony, Sirius Black, hat shouting GRYFFINDOR to the world and all the other students whispering about it like it meant something, and Severus stared at her dark curls and wide grin and knew she would hate her for the rest of her life.

    Summary

    “Do you think he meant it?” Harry asked, once the professor was gone, tracing the gilded lettering of his own name on the letter he'd given Harry. “We're really Wizards?”

    “It makes sense,” Tom shrugged, though he could hardly look away from his own letter, the proof of what he'd always known, in some pit inside himself, that he was something different from everyone around him, that he was something better. He'd believed the first priest that had told him the same thing, albeit it opposite in nature, that he was a devil. It had made sense at the time, just as this answer did. Anything that offered an explanation for his being set so apart.

    “I'm glad it's both of us,” Harry said, green eyes somehow greener, the natural brightness in him turning incandescent. Tom had thought he'd known the answer for that before too, dull hours at Sunday service spent gazing at the sun illuminating stained glass portraits, thinking: angel. “I'm glad we're going together.”

    “We'll always go together,” Tom said, knowing it as fact, unable to imagine anything different. Wherever he went, Harry was sure to follow. It'd been that way forever. It would surely always be that way.

    Summary

    At eleven, Tom Riddle is dead set on flying and deathly afraid of heights.

    At seventeen, he is a Hogwarts dropout and a Dark Lord rivaling Grindelwald.

    At twenty, he is barely a wizard, robbed of his magic and wracked by Muggle illness. A simple case of consumption shall end him, unless Harry unravels Riddle's mysteries once and for all.

    (Or: An AU where Tom and Harry grow up together, fight a war, twist a prophecy, break Quidditch, and fall very badly in love, though perhaps not in that order.)
