tomarry hot take: I actually don’t think Harry would even come close to defeating Tom in a duel

I think he COULD come close, with extreme levels of training and practice, but that classic “step into DADA and whoop Tom’s ass” scene? guys…I have something to confess.

Tom’s a fucking nerd.

he’s studied and practiced dark magic for years. he’s canonically regarded by DUMBLEDORE as the most brilliant student to ever walk through Hogwarts. Tom would DESTROY him.

imho the real fun of tomarry comes from the subsequent arc of Harry training to defeat him, and then actually coming close, and THEN Tom starts to become intrigued bc who the fuck is this semi-competent little shit?? and why is he now thinking about him all the time??

#tom marvolo riddle #tom riddle #harry potter #tomarry #ao3 #cinus isn’t talking about tompercy? blasphemy!#we’re all entitled to do what we want though #ashamed to admit that I still eat that duel scene up every time #but yknow #let’s be fr #harry is surprisingly competent when he’s interested in the subject #desperately cites the Patronus charm #and like three lines in the first books
