Air trapped in his lungs, he waited with bated breath, eyes unblinking, unwilling to miss a second of the prophecy. The dampness of the cavern cooled the singular bead of sweat as it ran down from his temple. The forced paralysis holding his muscles still in simultaneous frozen terror… and twisted delight.

A ring and a diary flashed across the glass. A locket sitting in a golden goblet. 

An up close view of a snake slithered across the fog clearing the symbols, and the globe refilled with smoke. 

Death, rebirth, and final death. The lot of seven is the answer you seek… In life she will be your salvation, in death your ruin. Only together can you find the eternity you seek.

One gnarled nail rose to twirl the fang hanging at her cleavage, swinging it like a pendulum. 

Tick tock, tick tock, the fates have tied you to another. If she is not saved, neither shall you be. If immortality is what you seek, you must learn to serve the one who serves the moon, who shares your mother tongue. Worship the ageless beast as you would the old gods, and you too shall see perpetuity.

Unable to rage and demand, Tom sat in obedient silence. Drinking in every word and committing it to memory, placing each line separately on his mental shelves, to be remembered with perfect efficacy later. Succumbing.

Headcanon: Nagini is young Tom Riddle's mentor. She became for him what Merope and Albus could not be.

31 July. The Dark Lord sat on his throne and sighed heavily. The Potter boy is still alive and it's his birthday!

- How angry I am, Nagini! This prophecy is keeping me from realising my full power! - he hissed in Parseltang to his pet, stroking her scales affectionately with cold fingers. He still saw her as his mentor from the past, when she was human, and waited for her advice and support...

Nagini gave Tom Riddle everything: gifts, knowledge, and even her soul… But Tom used those gifts in his own way. Nagini inspired him to create his first Horcrux from her gift. She also taught him French: that's how the name Lord Voldemort came to be…

Let's talk about Tom Riddle's headcanons in PostHog. We all know he was the perfect student. But now the young Heir of Slytherin has graduated from the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry... And now let's list the most common "versions" of Tom in fanfics ( along with AU), aside from his Dark Lord status:

- Successful sales consultant at Borgin & Burkes (canon!);

- Professor Tom Marvolo Riddle, teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts (or the Dark Arts themselves.) His dream fulfilled by ficwriters.

- Minister of Magic (rapid career advancement!);

- Unspeakable (anything is possible);

- Mafioso (common in non-magical AU).

What headcanons on Tom's occupation are you aware of? Which ones are more to your liking?
